Julie & Vin in Stockton, NJ

When Julie and Vin were introduced through a mutual friend in New Hope, Pennsylvania, the weather was perfect for romance. It was a warm summer evening, Julie remembers. We hung out by the Delaware River and hit it off. Julie and Vin went on their first date the following week and have been together ever since.

When she got there, her friend was MIA, but there was Vin at the spot where we'd first met, in the freezing cold with a huge grin on his face, Julie says. It took Julie a moment to realize why he was there, but Vin brought her up to speed by giving her nine roses (one for each year they'd dated) and a beautiful ring. The pair married alongside the Delaware River 10 months later.
