“Adam and Alicia met in a bar and talked until the sun came up. The two discovered they had a lot in common: They were from the South, had degrees in painting, and liked the same books and beers. They made plans for a quintessentially New York date: a picnic at Coney Island. They even rode the Wonder Wheel and took pictures in a photo booth. A little over a year later, they spent a month in Europe together.

Adam carried an engagement ring with him all through France and waited for the perfect moment to pop the question. He dropped to both knees while the two were stargazing from their rooftop in Cinque Terre, Italy.”
