Our story began right after the Christmas holiday of 2016. After Caroline returned to NYC post-Christmas celebrations with her family, she reluctantly went out for a drink at Wilfie & Nell in the West Village on a cold NY winter’s night. From across the bar, she observed a tall handsome boy smiling in her direction. Eventually Ross approached Caroline to say hello, however between the loud music coupled with what she ultimately discovered was an Australian accent, conversation was stunted. Nevertheless, Ross and Caroline exchanged details. That’s right, Caroline and Ross met the old-fashioned way…at a bar! On New Year’s Eve, Caroline revealed to Ross where she was heading to celebrate and ring in the New Year. As the night progressed, Caroline still hadn’t heard from Ross and almost lost hope he would ever appear. After pleading with the event staff and finally purchasing the only ticket available (VIP), Ross entered the New Year’s Eve event at a stroke before midnight and just in time to be Caroline’s 2017 New Year’s kiss. The two have become inseparable ever since. Five years later in March 2021, Ross asked Caroline to Per Se, a French restaurant overlooking Central Park, where the boy from Perth proposed to the girl from Pittsburgh…and she said yes! Ross and Caroline will be making it official this October 1, 2022 in New York City, where they first fell in love.
