Lindsay and Neil’s story begins at the mutually agreed upon date location of Morgan’s Bar which was right near Lindsay’s apartment. Lindsay knew the bar was no longer open but agreed anyway to see how he would handle a potentially sticky situation. Neil, thankfully being great under pressure, showed up 20 minutes early and quickly saved the impending disaster by making reservations next door at Asia de Cuba. Lindsay was impressed by his natural problem solving skills.
They immediately eased into their date sharing a love of obscure hip hop songs, Italy and favorite restaurants. They both disclosed that they would simultaneously be in the Hamptons the following evening and casually agreed to meet up. They met the next day at a bar in the Hamptons and by the time they came home they realized there was something special here.
It was 3 months later, on a South beach getaway that sealed the deal. Lindsay & Neil met each other’s family and the moving in conversations began! After a fabulous weekend they were convinced they found their eternal match!
Lindsay often frequented Buffalo to her meet with her largest business account, which also warranted large purchases of clothing upon each visit. The couple often joked that they should send her a holiday gift based on her large contribution to their sales! One day one of her many purchases was delivered to their apartment and Neil stowed the box under their bed. He held onto the packaging slip as well. He mentioned that her Buffalo account would absolutely be sending her a Holiday present due to her commitment to their business!
A few months had passed giving Neil time to put his plan in motion. He remarked they would be having dinner with Neil’s CEO and investors. As she was home getting ready for the dinner Neil walked in with the box from her account of her “holiday gift” in hand. Lindsay, totally unaware, opened the box. After tearing through the packaging tape she found a card which ended with “I tried to find a box big enough to hold my love but I had to settle for a smaller one” which was Neil’s cue to present the small box with the ring. She happily said yes and the rest is history.
Lindsay & Neil were married July the 3rd 2012 at Temple Isreal of Lawrence. They shared a wonderful honeymoon in St Tropez, Marrakech, Lake Cuomo & Florence.
