No one knows for certain when Cleopatra first met Antony, but there are two speculative times that they could have met. The first is when Cleopatra's father was returned to the throne. Antony was the commander of the cavalry that brought Auletes back to Alexandria. It' possible that Cleo was presented to him along with her brothers and sisters during the celebrations. Another time that they could have met was when Cleo was in Rome. Antony, as a friend of Caesar and Master of the Horse, would surely have attended a reception or two given by Cleopatra. However it is obvious that she did not actually know Antony as before the big seductive meeting in Tarsus, she had to be briefed by Delius as to Antony's character.
We don't know for certain. We do know of the big seductive scene when she met him at Tarsus, and we know that she didn't really know him or his character before that. However, Antony was the leader who aided her father in getting his throne back and he could have met her when she was a child, although this is unlikely. Cleopatra was also in Rome and its very likely that they were introduced at one of Cleopatra's receptions while she was there.
The so-called marriage between Marc Antony and Cleopatra took place in 37 BC. However the "marriage" was a marriage of their political union, held to impress the Egyptian people, rather than a marriage as we define the word. This was obvious to them, as both Antony and Cleopatra were aware of the fact that Antony was already legally married and a Roman was forbidden to marry a foreigner.

There are various versions of how Cleo and Julius met. Some say she was hidden in a rolled up carpet, some say that she was rolled up in a reed mat and others say that she was concealed in a bag of laundry. At any rate, she had to be smuggled in because if she came publicly to Alexandria she would have been killed, as she was at war with her brother at the time.
She arranged to be delivered to his room, hidden in a roll of carpet or a big amphora. She got delivered along with his dinner and she jumped up and surprised him when the moment was right. He fell instantly in love with her and she explained how she thought differently to her sibblings because she wanted Rome to take over in Egypt whereas they wanted Egypt to stay Egyptian. Their meeting was in Egypt, in Caesar's tent.
Cleopatra wrapped herself in a rug or a mat to meet with Julius Caesar because it was about the only way she could think of to obey his summons without getting herself killed.
