Danielle & Gregory in Bronx, NY

After first meeting as high-schoolers, Greg Shalov proposed to Danielle Bockman on a trip to Napa Valley, sneaking her off to an isolated corner of one of the vineyards for a picnic. A shocked and delighted Danie, as Greg calls her, accepted, and they set a wedding date about eleven months away. THE BRIDE Danielle Bockman THE GROOM Greg Shalov THE DATE June 25 Danielle Bockman and Gregory Shalov first met while vacationing (separately, of course) in the Dominican Republic. They were delighted to find that they were both were high school students in New York, she at Riverdale Country School and he at The Dalton School. They exchanged phone numbers and managed to keep in touch for a few months, but the immediate demands of their high school lives prevented them from talking often and their friendship gradually faded. Incredibly, fate gave them another chance. One year later, back on spring break, they again met while vacationing separately, this time in the Turks and Caicos Islands. This time, both very happy to have found each other again, they kept in touch. After high school, they each headed to college in Ohio, she at Kenyon College and he at Oberlin College, where they maintained their relationship. They returned to New York after graduating, and Danielle began law school while Greg pursued a career in leveraged buyouts. Danielle was swamped with the workload of a first year law student but had the support of both of their families. We are so lucky, she says, because Greg's mom loves to plan and she is very good at it. She would do all the research and then let us choose what we liked -- it was wonderful.
