When Danielle introduced herself to the "mysterious, cute, quiet" kid, sitting at the end, and he just nodded at her, Danielle decided right then and there she'd have him eating out of the palm of her hand by the end of the week.

Sure enough, after what started as bonding over; the Bruins playoffs, similar interests and sharing of mutual friends, became an true relationship built on a solid foundation of trust, love and friendship.

2 years later, Steve and Danielle headed to a family dinner for her cousins visiting from Aussie. Little did Danielle know, that as sick as Steve was that rainy April night, he had the biggest surprise hiding away in his Halls cough drop bag.

The night went on with about 25-30 Italians being much too loud, as usual, and lots of food, laughter and mostly love. As dessert ended, Steve offered to make a toast. Shocked that her reserved boyfriend offered to do such, Danielle was still happy about it, until of course his cold kicked in and he started hacking mid speech. As Danielle being Danielle told him he "should've stayed home in bed", and Steve reached for his cough drops, in a matter of seconds, time seemed to stop as Steve got done on one knee and asked Danielle to marry him in front of her closest family and some friends. Of course, Danielle said yes...after a "are you fucking kidding me?!", which her Nonna is still mad about.

3 and a half years of good, bad, ugly, and the most beautiful, on November 5th the two finally become one in front of their closest and can't wait to start the next chapter.

P.S. and now, they actually do believe in "happily ever after".
