Welcome!

We were invited to attend a mutual friend's 30th Surprise Birthday Party in Patchogue, New York. When Lisa arrived, not many guests were there yet and Lisa knew no one there. Keith and his brother, Kevin, had arrived before her and introduced themselves. Over great food and drink, Keith and Lisa got to know each other and would have their first date a week later at Great South Bay Brewery. They attended a Barks and Brews event in which money was raised for a local shelter. After the event, Keith and Lisa listened to some of Keith's favorite music, and the rest is history!

Lisa had been wanting to go back to Fire Island, her favorite place on Long Island. Keith suggested to Lisa that they go together to Fire Island, namely Lisa's favorite spots-- Kismet and Saltaire-- after July 4th. This surprised Lisa somewhat as Keith was not as into going down there. Still, Lisa had no idea of Keith's intentions as they both walked from Field 5 at Robert Moses Beach through Kismet and Saltaire. After a snack and a drink, they headed down to Saltaire Beach to relax by the waves. After resting for some time, Lisa (for some reason) wondered out loud to Keith about getting engaged. Keith then surprisingly reached into his bag and pulled out an engagement ring, proposing to Lisa right on the beach! It was perfect!
