    About Me:

    As a Travel and Even Planner in NYC, you would think I am all over the planning of our destination wedding in May 2010. Well, yes and no: in my job I get to spend other people's money, and that's a whole different story! Snapdragon dude and I are in the process of planning an intimate gathering in Delray Beach, FL for our family and a few friends. The biggest challenge, other than getting the most out of our budget, is to make sure we incorporate both our cultures (he is a European variety snapdragon) and figure out a way to manage our families--who don't speak the same language. We both love to travel, eat good food, sit by the ocean, and make each other laugh with our corny jokes.

    How We Met:

    I was living in Boston and came to NY to visit an old girlfriend from college. We went out to her local watering hole for a few beverages, and she, social butterfly that she is, had the courage to approach two handsome men sitting at the bar. My now fiancé was one of those men and I was instantly smitten. The next several weeks consisted of trips back and forth between Boston and New York and lots and lots of phone minutes spent. And then, five months exactly from the day we met, I quit my job, packed up my apartment and moved in with him in New York to get a head start on our life together.

    The Engagement Story:

    I will admit it: I knew it was coming. We went away for a romantic weekend and had a wonderful dinner at this French Bistro called the Red Hat on the Hudson River. I thought he would wait for a private moment (he isn’t one for public displays), but surprise surprise, he gave the ring to the waitress to put on the dessert plate next to the profiteroles and got on bended knee in front of all the patrons in the restaurant. It was a blur of emotion; we drank champagne and received an ovation from everyone in the restaurant!
