It started with "Hello, remember me?"... "Jay" aka "Joey" aka Joel famously started the conversation with. Of course Sherri didn't remember him because she never met him. However, that was all about to change. Both on an app to meet people, one might have been on there to do some internet stalking... (Sherri)... and one was on there trying to catch a lady with the cheesiest pick up line (Joel) and it worked! Our first meeting was 2/13/13, 5 years later we got engaged on that date!
It was our 5 year dating anniversary. I kind of had an idea that perhaps he could be proposing, but didn't want to put too much pressure on it. Marriage wasn't a foreign conversation for us, but I am so glad that Joel proposed the way he did. He would say for years that he wanted to wait for the perfect time to do it. He told me to meet him at La Tavola Cucina in South River, NJ. It's just one of those places we had a lot of great dates at, so it holds a special meaning to us. He seemed a little odd that day in terms of timing and just had a nervous energy about him. Little did I know until later on why he was acting that way! I meet him at the restaurant and he had me wait in the front for a little bit. Then he walks me over and there's rose petals leading up to this beautifully decorated table. My my, was he lucky our anniversary is 1 day before Valentine's day! He had balloons, flowers, decorations on the table. He still had nervous energy and jumped up from the table to take a phone call. By this point, I was getting nervous! He hands me this gift to unwrap which is a heart shaped chalkboard that says "Timing could not be more perfect"... the handwriting was suspicious, but before I could even think about it there walks in my Mom (it was her handwriting)! He cues the song "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran, she has the cell phone in my face taking video... next thing I know Joel is on his knees. He pops the question with the most stunning ring!! It was the stone I really had my heart set on called Morganite and it's set in Rose Gold with diamonds around it. It was so perfect and special, especially involving my mother in this planning. We all enjoyed an amazing meal! Then a group eating nearby happened to video it, which was nice to get their perspective and angle. Joel, you made it "Perfect"!!! :-)
Occupations: Joel is an Executive Chef at Fox Hollow Golf Club in Branchburg, NJ. Sherri is a Graphic Artist at Tiffany & Co. where she's going on her 18th year of employment with the company. Shared interests: Music! We love a lot of the same music and going to concerts. Some of our favorite concerts we have been to are Bruno Mars, Beyonce/JayZ, 311 (Well more Sherri on that one lol).... We are both painfully New York Jets fans! We love going to different places with the kids.
