We have been neighbors since 2015, although we didn’t know about each other until we met one morning before work. Tony had noticed me, walking my crazy dog, but we had never talked or had any interactions. Then one morning while I was walking Sven I asked Tony “can our dogs meet?” For Sven and Luna their connection was instant. Tony and I continued walking our dogs for about a month longer. I realized I really enjoyed our conversations and wanted to continue to be around him. That's when I knew we were meant to be more than just neighbors walking the dogs. -Stephanie

I took Stephanie to JFK Memorial Park in Hyannis, Cape Cod for her birthday to open gifts. We sat on a bench with a beautiful view overlooking the beach. There happened to be a photographer taking pictures of the scenery. I gave her the first present which was a photo book of our memories. The second present was in a jewelry box, she opened it and inside was a a tri-colored gold anklet. I knelt down to put the anklet on her. As I was kneeling, I pulled out the ring and, had her stand, showed her the last page of the book which read "will you marry me?" I then thanked our photographer and we had our engagement shoot right there on the beautiful beach. -Tony
