We were introduced on a dating website. After messaging back and forth, we decided to meet for our first date. (Neal did not realize I had asked for the inside scoop from a few mutual acquaintances before agreeing to meet). We met for dinner at Pacific Table on Cinco de Mayo. We talked about: family, work, likes/dislikes, books, and movies. After dinner, we ventured to Sundance Square where we continued our conversation until the lights, music, and fountain were turned off and it was time to say goodnight. We continued to meet multiple times a week before deciding to start dating officially.

We had dated less then a year, when Neal decided he was going to ask me to marry him. After seeking permission from mom and dad, Neal set to decorating my living room with candles and flowers one Wednesday afternoon. My last therapy session cancelled that day and I headed home early to find Neal in a suit with a ring. After I said "yes," we headed to Pacific Table; the location where we had our first date. We look forward to sharing our wedding day celebration with our family and close friends as we begin a new chapter in our lives.
