Amber and Lorenzo’s love story began when they met in Jersey City, NJ in June of 2014. At the time Amber was still a medical student living in NYC, with her life revolving around public transit between Port Authority and her clinical rotations sites across the Hudson River in New Jersey. While waiting for the bus to whisk her out of New Jersey, Amber would often study in a quaint local coffee shop known as Dunkin' Donuts. One evening after a jog around his neighborhood, Lorenzo was in need of an XXL black coffee and strolled into the very coffee shop where Amber had her face buried in a tattered copy of her First Aid book. The smell of coffee beans in the air and the soothing sound of Ed Sheeran’s voice in the background gave Lorenzo the courage to murmur “cool book!” and ask to share a table with Amber. Being his charming self, Lorenzo struck up a conversation and they went out on their first official date soon after where Amber ate a whole pizza and Lorenzo fell in love.

Lorenzo came home from work early on February 6 and surprised Amber by saying he had a spa day and dinner planned for them. When Amber was getting ready, she heard Lorenzo call her into the other room and assumed he just wanted to show her the cat doing something funny. When she walked in the bedroom, she was amazed to see that he had spread rose petals on the ground and was playing one of her favorite songs, “Somewhere over the Rainbow.” Lorenzo then got down on one knee and asked Amber to marry him!
