We met at work and knew there was something there right away. Being a chef, Stephen especially knew we were meant to be together when I ordered a medium rare burger from him. After my car broke down, Stephen offered to take me home since we lived around the corner from each other. After we pulled into the driveway, what felt like 10 minutes was actually hours later. This became a daily thing, sitting in my driveway after work and talking for hours on end. After a couple of months of getting to know each other, we knew we couldn't ignore this connection any longer.

The night started out by us going out to dinner in Atlantic City. After dinner Stephen drove us home and I fell asleep in the car, which eased Stephen's nerves some. When I woke up I realized we weren't actually heading home but instead to my mom's house. At this point I was very confused because it was so late and I knew she would be sleeping. When we pulled in Stephen reminded me that this was where it all began and asked me to step out of the car. I had no idea what was happening but when he gave me a hug I could feel his heart pounding out of his chest. He then got on one knee and asked me if I would marry him. Of course I said "YES!"
