Our first date was at a local bar, Harry’s, in Brighton, MA. Leslie was living in Brighton at the time and in grad school. The date almost never happened because Steven was running late from work. Even though he was late, Steven made up for it with being a perfect gentleman. We had instant chemistry and the rest was history!
Our first apartment was in Dorchester, MA. We lived there for 3 years, and loved being able to build a home together. Steven especially misses his man cave! We can’t wait to get our own house together soon :)
Our proposal took place at the Public Gardens. Leslie had just finished taking a student from work, and Steven had planned a dinner to celebrate being finished. Before dinner, we decided to cut through the public gardens for a walk. As soon as we got to the bridge, Steven went down on one knee and popped the question! Afterwards, we celebrated having dinner just the two of us. Then, Steven surprised Leslie again by planning a small get together with our family and friends at Clery’s. It truly was a magical night.
