HOW DID WE MEET?

I am sure some of you have heard us side-step this question before. The truth, we met online. Or as we like to joke, we met at our favorite place: the computer. It being 2012, and given our respective careers, it only seems fitting. Neither of us signed up willingly, we only logged on once, but the rest is history. Because I guess, it only takes one.

HOW DID HE PROPOSE?

The first time was in November, we had just seen the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. As we were walking out of the theater, we stumbled upon the park bench we had sat on for hours during one of our first dates.
Rockefeller Center was empty (which is rare), we sat down, and Paul asked. And Annie said yes!

Ever the traditionalist, Paul wanted to do it again with a ring and her dad's permission. So we kept it quiet, he finished shopping, and Paul planned a Christmas proposal in Texas. Flying in the ring started burning a hole in his pocket, so in the Terminal E parking lot of DFW Airport, Paul got down on one knee and Annie said yes, again!
