We both work in marketing—our two companies work closely together. I was invited to Jess’s work retreat to try and grow the business relationship. Steamboat Springs, CO played host to our first time spent together; we exchanged numbers, and I met her in San Diego for CRSSD for our second “date” and the rest is history.

If you ask Danny, he may tell you he planned a surprise proposal at a garden in East Hampton with all our family and friends. While that’s mostly true…if you asked me…my suspicions grew the moment we sat down for dinner with my family at a little Italian restaurant in the city. The week leading up the proposal, we all went out to dinner when seconds after our drinks arrived, my dad, a man who would much rather drink soda than alcohol, tossed back not one, but three glasses of red wine.
