After the monthly rearranging of classroom desks, Meaghan and Angelo were seated next to each other in their 8th grade homeroom and the rest was history....
A team effort... What Meaghan thought was the special celebration of her brother Eddie's birthday turned out to be an elaborate proposal disguise. Angelo drove 5 hours north, the day after Christmas, to surprise Meaghan at the lake and resort that she had grown up going to. The Sagamore holds a large piece of the Hart's family heart. Having a multi-generational attachment and bond to this location, Angelo knew that it couldn't happen anywhere else. On the evening of December 26th, 2020, Angelo surprised Meaghan during a family photo; Meaghan's back positioned towards the lake allowed for Angelo (who was hiding in sub-zero temperatures behind a bush), to rush the picture just in time for the memory to be caught live. Surrounded by the most important people in her life, "she said yes!!"
