Before deciding to share a life together, Steve and Paulette shared seats next to each other on September 21, 2018. He was in route to his family’s cottage in Maine and she was looking forward to arriving on a girl's getaway. Little did they know the flight would be a trip of a lifetime. The love-bound passengers instantly filled the plane with laughter, free-flowing conversation, and unmistakable compatibility. Their long-distance romance evolved to a supportive, enduring, playful and forever love.

The charm and serendipity of finding love in route to Maine made it the perfect place for Steve’s proposal. Steve thoughtfully and perfectly found a way to capture the beauty and playfulness of their love by proposing on the cliffs of Monhegan Island.
