Registry

In August 2024, Kevin surprised Rosalie with a night away at her favorite place, Stone House Inn in Little Compton, Rhode Island. The historic seaside inn is located down the street from the Sakonnet beach house where Rosalie’s family used to vacation for the famous annual “Dineen Weekend” with her parents, sister, aunts, uncles, and cousins. The Sakonnet beach and farm town holds many happy childhood memories for Rosalie. Rosalie first brought Kevin to Sakonnet in July 2019 where they stayed at Stone House Inn and visited Sakonnet Vineyard to celebrate their 24th birthdays together. Since then, Rosalie and Kevin have made many summer day trips to Sakonnet through the years to enjoy beach days and wine tastings at Sakonnet Vineyard. On the morning of August 24th, 2024 after a night at Stone House Inn, Kevin brought Rosalie to Sakonnet Vineyard where he arranged a private vineyard tour and tasting. While on their private tour of the vineyard, the golf cart made a stop at a beautiful spot that overlooks a reservoir and acres of grape vines. Kevin proposed in a quiet and private moment. The engagement ring was custom-made with Rosalie’s Nina’s diamond, which made the moment even more special. Kevin hired a photographer to wait for them at the lookout spot, and hide behind a hay bale to keep it a surprise. Once they returned to the winery area, Rosalie and Kevin’s families were both waiting there to celebrate. To add to the surprises, when Rosalie, Kevin, and their families returned to the Dineen house after a day at the vineyard, all of Rosalie’s closest friends and family were there waiting to celebrate. The perfect surprise to end the most beautiful and love-filled Rhode Island weekend.
