How We Met
Kristen and I met way back in the fall of 1996 when we both worked in the West Islip Grand Union
food store (now Stop & Shop). We were both cashiers hustling through each holiday season
making BIG bucks. Come 1997 Kristen finally decided to ask me out (that's my girl!!!) and
we went out for our first date. Shortly after that we were engaged! (well, by short I
mean 8 years later hehe). The engagement
In July of 2005 Kristen and I went on our second cruise. This time we went to the Southern
Caribbean [click for some pics] where we planned a fun filled vacation for the four of us (yup four - we went with
our very good friends Chris and Laurie who also got engaged on the cruise too - was it planned...
I'll leave that up to you to decide). On the second day of the cruise we had the captain's
formal dinner and shortly before we went to have our pictures taken, I took Kristen aside
to an alcove overlooking the promenade and popped the question. Kristen was in such a
rush to get to the pictures that she kept trying to get me away from that alcove. Finally
she realized what was happening after I showed her the ring and she was shocked! Of course
she said 'yes' and here we are!!!
