How did you meet? Mike and I met at a party my cousin threw, hit it off and have been dating ever since.
How did he propose?: We were on a vacation in Turks & Caicos and while I was preparing for dinner, he snuck out to the beach and wrote "Hey Dana, will you marry me?" in the sand. Later that evening, we went to watch the sunset on the beach and he said he had something to show me... and then he proposed. It was so cute!
When did you know he was "the one"?: I was at a conference and Mike took a Greyhound from NY to College Park, PA to surprise me and keep me company for the ride home. It was so thoughtful and I knew he was the one then!
