Sean and Cathy first met at Sussex County Community College. They spoke several times about disliking their prior school, Morris County Community College, but didn't really connect until Cathy was having a bad day. When Cathy said she was leaving, Sean offered to walk her down to her car and she instantly developed a crush on him. Nothing happened for about a year. Mutual friends of both Cathy and Sean invited the two of them to an anime convention. Cathy and Sean connected a lot before and on that trip, and it was fairly soon after that they began dating. Sean and Cathy each feel they have found their perfect match, and after many years of being together and becoming part of the other's family have finally decided to make things official.
On July 1st, 2018 Cathy and Sean were taking a hike at Mount Major. We like to pretend that we hike regularly, so this wasn't unusual. It was an insanely hot and humid day, and Cathy was beginning to have a touch of difficulty keeping up. So Sean ended up getting a little further ahead, until he fell to one knee. His gasp of pain caught Cathy's attention and she quickly sped up to where he had fallen. When she asked him if he was okay, he said "I think so, but I found this cool rock!" and pulled out the ring. Cathy's face of concern turned to surprised amusement as she exclaimed "You son of a b***h!" "... Is that a yes?"
