We met and dated briefly back in 2006 thanks to our dear friend Elena Mercuri. We started dating again and our first date was lunch at the beach on 9/11/21

We had a turning point in our relationship where we needed to figure some things out. Due to friends that care, Elizabeth Clarke for talking me into going to the convention that night and Michael Early for making sure Tom and I said hi that night. Thanks again, our foundation is now solid!

August 28, 2022 Tom popped the question!💍 with my dream ring. He was super mindful. He asked me if we could pray which was common and he began thanking God for me and we both were being grateful then afterwards he didn’t get up off his knees and said “See, this is why you have to be my wife! Carole Elizabeth Stewart, will you marry me?” Heavenly, I tell you!
