It all started on a sunny Saturday—October 3rd, to be exact—in the Ulta parking lot in Guilford, Connecticut. Anita was pulling into a spot to run into the store, and parked right next to a car where Shane happened to be standing, waiting for two friends before heading to New Haven for pizza. As fate would have it, their paths crossed—Anita on the phone with her friend Siobhan, and Shane casually staring (in the most charming way possible). He managed to say something like, "Hi, how's it going?" before Anita headed into the store. When she returned to her car, she found a yellow sticky note on the door with “Shane :)” and his phone number. With some encouragement from Siobhan, Anita texted him later that day with the now-famous line, "I got your parking ticket." Their first date was at Nellie Green’s in Branford—and the rest, as they say, is history.
