Patricia and Archie met at Christ Church in Montclair, New Jersey at a young adult event. During the event, Archie spotted Patricia and immediately thought to himself, "She’s my future wife!" Luckily for him that evening, he noticed his younger sister Anne interacting with her. After the event, Archie inquired with Anne regarding an introduction to meet Patricia, and eventually they were introduced. Although Patricia was hesitant about dating, Archie patiently waited and prayed until the time was right to pursue her and the rest is history.

Archie convinced Patricia to purchase dessert at a bakery located in Morristown, New Jersey. The bakery was located in a beautiful scenic location, which happened to be a vibrant arboretum. As they walked towards the bakery, Archie distracted Patricia by convincing her to check out the scenery and gazebo. At that point Patricia was concerned about picking up dessert before the bakery closed. Once Patricia turned away to walk to the bakery, Archie got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife. Patricia was shocked and replied, “YES!!!” After saying yes, she realized that Archie had booked a photographer and videographer who hid from plain view during the proposal. In addition, his best friend, Mehul was there to commemorate their special moment. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you.
