We first met working at Brother’s pizza together (obviously!) Shane always liked to joke that I had a huge crush on him at this time (which may be true) but I think it went both ways!
Our first date was a Bruins game! There had been a detour going into Boston that day and we got lost in the city, we spent the whole first period driving around. When we finally got into the game we had a blast and the next 7 years have been nothing but the same!
On September 3rd, 2017 Shane surprised me during my girls weekend on a sunset cruise in Newport, RI. The girls and I do a weekend get away every year to Newport, RI and this year we planned to do a sunset cruise. Unbeknownst to myself, Shane and the girls had planned the whole proposal and Shane was already stowed away on the sailboat when we boarded. We took sail right before sunset, I was nauseas since the girls let me forget my Dramamine. Each of them secretly texting Shane telling him to hurry up before I got sick. Right before the sunset the boat turned, and I looked to my right and saw Shane (I almost jumped off the boat). He pulled me up in front of everyone, got down on one knee and proposed. Between the surprise and the nausea I think all I got out was a “Yeah” and just like that we were engaged. We’re so excited to start the next chapter of our lives with all of you. See you in Aruba!
