How did you meet?
We grew up in the same small Northern NJ town and even went to the same high school. Steve was a grade older than me and we never met until my junior year when we started working together at the same after-school program. We became best friends and dated that same year!
When did you get engaged?
10/20/2018
Where did you get engaged?
Salem, Massachusetts
How did he ask?
We have been dating since high school so I did have an inkling of a proposal in my future. Steve and I both love the fall so I thought it would be a good idea to take a couple’s trip with our best friends to Salem, MA to take in all things, Halloween. Little did I know, this would be a very magical weekend, indeed. We walked through a park right before the sunset and I just thought the views were very pretty and relaxing. We got to the cliffs and Steve asked our friend to take a picture of us. (I did think something was up since he never suggests a photo op.) I started to get suspicious so I even felt his pocket to see if he was carrying a certain box. (Granted it was in the other side)
After coming up short, I was convinced we really were just taking a photo…. until he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! What a lovely surprise!! The crazy part about this story is as we took our “oh my gosh, we just got engaged pictures,” courtesy of my best friend… a rainbow appeared in the sky without a single drop of rain in the sky!
