His sis called me to let me know he was safe as he couldn't get to a phone.

Re: I would love to know more about all of you...can we meet and greet?

My turn!

ME: 25 - actress/receptionist

HIM: 32 - actor/real estate agent

Met: I was a front desk receptionist and he was a bellman at a trendy midtown hotel. We worked some graveyard shifts together and would always have these deep talks about life. Apparently, he had a huge crush on me, but I had to go through a 'I just broke up with my college boyfriend of 4 years and I need to party and date and go wild' phase before dating him. He waited patiently and then won my heart on our first date.

Engaged: Dec 14th, 2003 in front of our tiny Christmas tree in the Living Room of our first apartment - It was a spur of the moment, from the heart proposal with no ring, but alot of tears and joy.

The Ring: Came 3 weeks later as a gift from his grandmother. A 1.5 carat brilliant stone I had reset into a solitaire 8 prong with another half carat in diamond chips which I will set in the wedding band. (i hide it in some situations - it makes us look LOADED and we are so dirt poor, it's laughable.)

HM: Cannel Bay resort on St John. So beautiful there I want to weep.

Newlyweds: We are buying a puppy after the wedding, when we move into our new home in North Carolina. Basically, we are running away for the first 2 years of marriage to live in wedded bliss away from everyone. CAN'T FREAKING WAIT!

MET: While doing summer stock at the Bristol Valley Theater in Naples, NY.

ENGAGED: March 27, 2004, Naples NY. Cutting the story short doesn't do it justice, but a summary of it can be found here .

RING: Designed by FH and absolutely everything I could have dreamed of and more. Platinum setting, emerald cut center stone with trillions on either side. I love it!

HM: Probably St. Lucia at Le Sport Resort/Spa... I'm a vegan and they actually have food I can eat at this place! :) Tee hee!

No dress yet, but I seem to be in love with Demetrios, Eve of Milady, Reem Acra .. but we shall see. The shopping begins next week.

We're on the photographer hunt at the moment, and what a trial it's turning out to be!!!

Re: I would love to know more about all of you...can we meet and greet?

Me - Jen - Dental Hygienist (24)

Him - Jake - Manager of finances at the Inn at
Eastwind working toward CPA (24)

How we met - We both worked at Eastwind 7 years ago, that is where we met and that is where we are getting married!!!!

Proposal - We love this place in Newport, Rhode Island called the Newport Bay Club. We have been there previously and to celebrate our 7 year anniversary we wanted to go back. While there, he surprised me. He threw me in the downstairs bathroom (we rented a two level townhouse) and about 20 min later he opened the door holding a dozen roses. He told me to follow the trail of rose petals leading up to the master bath on the spiral staircase. When I reached the bathroom the jacuzzi was going with candles and rose petals and he had At Last by Etta James playing (hence our wedding song). He told me that I was his inspiration and began to get all choked up. I honestly had no idea that he was about to get on one knee and pull the engagement ring out from behind the toilet. To end the experience, like the spaas I am, I locked us out on the balcony where we went after the engagment and we had to call the maintenance guy to let us back in...can't imagine what he thought was going on!!!!

Ring - 2 carat emerald cut solitaire on a platinum band.

Honeymoon - Jamaica for 7 days and a 7 night cruise to Bermuda!!!!!
