Stephanie's BEC wrap caught Tom's eye! It all started with his inability to cook, and some words of encouragement from Angela!

Tom decided that he could be an honorary New York Met's fan by asking Stephanie to be his girlfriend.

Our first vacation together in Norwalk CT.

Our first night living together! 5 short months of dating and we already knew forever was what we had planned for each other.

We decided to expand our family! With the intended hurricane barreling towards Florida, Mack (formerly Denym) was being driven to New Jersey as fast as possible. We knew he was meant to be ours. Despite the countless blankets, toys, and socks he's destroyed we couldn't live without him. Taking on the role of Dog Pawrents helped us grow even closer together.

549 days (1 year and 6 months) after starting to date we decided on forever. Tom took Stephanie to Thomas Bull Memorial Park on the promise of taking a holiday card photo with mack to mail out. She should've known when he didn't have work boots or slides on that maybe something more was to come. Tom asked Stephanie to marry him; the word 'yes' before Tom could even finish his well thought out speech. Thomas Bull Memorial Park is such an important landmark for both Tom and Stephanie. Stephanie's father passed when she was young but he would always take her and her brothers there. It is also the place that Tom and Stephanie went on their first date, and where Tom and Stephanie decided to move in together.
