Another lurker/newbie here...
Me: Jodi (27) Him: Shaun (27) Me: PhD student in counseling psychology Him: Event Planner/Marketing for a non-profit...but wants to get out of non-profit desparately so if anyone one knows of anything in the corporate world (aka PROFIT), let me know!

A year later fate brought us back together when he moved to Hoboken where I lived and into the apartment building (same floor!) I was moving into that same month. It was all completely by chance! Proposal: 2/12/04 In our apartment, wearing my pjs. Long story but he wanted to do it the night after but realized it was friday the 13th (he had a couple of 'signs' previous so he didn't want to take a chance) so he quicikly moved it up a day. Proposed with a cake that said 'will you marry me?' Then we celebrated the next night at Philip Marie where he initially intended to pop the question. Ring: Beautiful. Princess cut solitaire in a tulip setting. Wedding: July 15, 2005 Carlyle on the Green Dress: Maggie Sottero-Grace Honeymoon: Hawaii-Maui and Kauai

Ring: Platinum solitaire diamond with micropave diamonds on the band by Ritani. Proposal: With the help of a very crafty friend he got me back to the scene of out first meet/date and after the friend 'went to go get his wife' and never came back he got down on one knee and proposed. After champagne we went for dinner where both of our parents were waiting. The next day we went to the Four Seasons and a show. Then down the Shore for the weekend. It was such a special day!

We were friends for almost three years before we started dating. Ring: The diamond is over 80 years old and it was his grandmothers. His mother had it reset in an evening star setting about 45 years ago. The most unique beautiful ring I have ever seen. Proposal: He had planned to do it on three separate occasions and it got botched by something each time. Long story but he wound up asking me in the middle of the Times Square Subway station and took out the ring and got on one knee later that night in a little better location. Wedding: Sept 2005 Honeymoon: Going on a two week cruise around the Mediterranean two months before the wedding with his whole family for his parents 50th wedding anniversary; so, we will do something small right after the wedding and in 6 months or so to take another nice trip just the two of us.
