Roshana and Steven met at a party. After hitting it off- bonding over medicine, Manischewitz, and a cute baby Jack picture- phone numbers were exchanged. They went on their first date that very next week and the rest was history. ** How we "met" before we actually met** Unknowingly at the time, Steven and Roshana were at the same painting class three months before they actually met. Fast-forward to their first date in White Plains- when walking by Muse paint bar Steven and Roshana recounted their experiences at the class, describing their paintings, and realized they were there on the same night. After their date, Steven sent Roshana a photo of his painting from that night, not realizing Roshana was in the background of that picture.
Steven planned a day full of fun Valentine’s day surprise activities. They spent the day going from place to place until they ended the afternoon back at their apartment in Astoria. Once they got back, Steven pretended to leave something in the car so he had to "run back down", leaving Roshana to walk into the apartment alone. When she walked in she found dozens of notes, one leading to the next, finally ending with a request to "come to the roof”. Steven was waiting there, with the sun setting behind him, down on one knee.
