Surprisingly, Mary and Stephen met at a biker bar in Phillipsburg, NJ. Mary went with her friends to listen to some live music and hang out. Stephen went to celebrate his co-worker's birthday. After noticing him, Mary made the first move and sent Stephen a drink from across the bar, to which, Stephen said no and sent it back. When he realized it came from Mary, he called her over and they started talking and never stopped.
Stephen proposed at 12:05 am the day after Valentine's Day while picking their first dance song. They were dancing, he spun Mary out and when she turned to come back in he was on his knee and asked her to marry him.
