Scott invited Cynthia out for drinks at the Bourbon Street Cafe. He was wearing a black mock turtle neck sweater and a thin gold chain (like the iconic Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson picture). He had his hair slicked back like a guido. She thought he looked hot. They spent hours talking about their interests, family, and politics. They both agreed on a second date. The rest is history.

Scott proposed to Cynthia on her birthday at a private dinner in Cancun. How this proposal occurred according to plan is still a mystery to both Scott and Cynthia. The day before they were supposed to fly out, Cynthia lost her passport (this happens often). The day they were supposed to fly out, an ice storm hit. Five cancelled flights and three terminals later, Scott and Cynthia hopped on the last and only flight to Cancun that night. Cynthia - so excited to bask in the sunshine with a mojito. Scott - relieved he doesn't have to propose at a Holiday Inn.
