HOW WE MET

A long time ago in an office building not so far away...

"Just another day: reading a good book (Omnivore's Dilemma) on the morning subway ride and puzzling over the US healthcare system during the afternoon. You know when romance just sparks up organically (no pun intended) sometimes? Well that's how this went. Ellen, vegetarian, noticed the book and sparked up a conversation. A working lunch, asking for her phone number, and an improv show in NYC kicked off week one nicely. The rest is history" - Alex "You know sometimes you see someone and they just look like a nice person? And they're good-looking, too. That's what I thought when I saw Alex. I asked some new friends to do a bit of recon. Who is he? Perhaps more importantly, is he single? When I learned the answer was "Yes!" I waited to make my move. One day, while prowling by Alex's desk in Deloitte's office, I noticed a book I'd recently read sitting next to him. Aha! Here was my chance. "Great book...," I said, tapping on the cover of "The Omnivore's Dilemma". He looked up and smiled. The rest is history." - Ellen

THE PROPOSAL

"We are infinite." - Perks of Being a Wallflower

Three years after walking across the Williamsburg Bridge on our first date, we walked home across the bridge together on a rainy evening in October. At the top of the bridge, with the lights of Manhattan glowing through the dim fog, Alex proposed. And of course, Ellen said yes.

For all the days along the way
