Gabriella and Sean found each other the modern way: on the internet. As online conversations sparked interest, they met up for dinner. Sean picked up Gabriella at her home and took her to an Italian restaurant located near Brooklyn Bridge Park, where conversations continued further. They discovered similarities between them, as well as many, many, many differences. Gabriella and Sean knew then that they would never run out of things to talk about.

Gabriella and Sean continued their relationship for five years following that night at Brooklyn Bridge Park. To celebrate their anniversary, Sean told Gabriella that he had a surprise for her. Just as they had first met, Sean took Gabriella to Brooklyn Bridge Park, a place special to them both. Overlooking the water, Sean got down on one knee and asked to spend forever with Gabriella.
