Our story started in the city that never sleeps. We spent our days solving problems, addressing emergencies, and improving processes. Over time a strong friendship was forged out of all that hard work, which eventually led to a dinner at Wolfgang’s steakhouse during a severe snowstorm. It was here that we realized not only were we a great team at work, we also had so much in common and thoroughly enjoyed spending time together. The little spark that was created during this dinner would go on to ignite a fire culminating at the waters edge after a lunch at Rumbas in the summer sun. We knew what we had was something special, and began a journey that would last a lifetime!
While celebrating my sister’s birthday in the backyard of our home, I had no idea that Frank was planning an amazing surprise. Surrounded by our closest friends and family, Frank asked to take a picture with me. This was after bugging me all day to change out of my bathing suit and into something more formal. While getting ready for the picture, our pup Maverick emerged from the house wearing something I know he wasn’t wearing earlier…it was a bandana asking me if I would marry his dad! Just as I finished reading the bandana I looked up to see Frank on one knee holding a beautiful ring and asking me to be his wife. I was completely surprised and overcome with joy. Having everyone we love surround us for this special moment made it even greater, and it only got better from there!
