We met at a mutual friends birthday celebration. When I first saw Steve I said to a friend that I was going to marry that man some day! Months went by without speaking and we reunited at our friends daughters birthday party! When I lost my keys at this same party Steve took the time to help me find them even offering to bring me home. But yet again we let ANOTHER year go by without speaking. The next year we reunited again at the same birthday party! This time we talked the whole night and haven’t went a day without speaking since!

Steve brought my daughters and I to the Old Stone Church in West Boylston MA to sit by the water and to see “the castle” as my girls call it We sat with the girls while they had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. It was a beautiful day and Steve surprised me with a gift. It was a beautiful memory keepsake box, something I had always wanted! Inside was an acrostic poem that spelled out my name! If anyone knows Steve he’s not one to pour out his emotions, so this poem had me in absolute tears. Never would I have thought seconds later he would pull a ring out of his back pocket! It couldn’t have been more perfect!
