HOW WE MET
We met at Burlington County College in the Spring of 1997. Eileen went back to school after being out of it for almost 10 years. Sean decided to go back to school after getting out of the U.S. Army. We met in English 101 class and it had to be fate that we even met....Eileen was told by her advisor that she didn't need to take English 101.
WHEN WE GOT ENGAGED
October 16, 2000
HOW IT HAPPENED
We were engaged down in Outer Banks, North Carolina, on the beach while watching the sunrise. Sean made it very special. He woke me very early to take the dog for a walk on the beach. While I looked away for just a moment waiting for the sun to rise, I turned to him to say something and he was down on one knee with a huge sparkling ring in his hand. He proposed and I started crying. I was so blown away that I hyperventilated and could not answer him right away. He finally asked if that was a yes, and I shook my head YES!!!! From what I've been told, everyone knew this was coming but me. We had talked about it many times, but I never expected so soon.
