How did you meet?: We met at Penn State University in his fraternity house. My friend was dating was of his fraternity brothers so I was there with them hanging out. Somebody went and told him there was a girl downstairs he should come and meet. We were best friends for a year and half before we started dating.
How did he propose? Edouard proposed on a boat on the Canal du Rhone in the south of France. We were visiting his family in Paris and were en route to Montpellier to spend a couple days on the beach with his aunt, uncle and cousin. Instead of going to their house, we ended up at a houseboat. It was just the two of us on the boat for three days (you can rent and drive them on this Canal without a license) sleeping in ports and docking along the canal to ride our bicycles through vineyards and tiny villages. We had three days on the boat, but he proposed after half an hour. My parents were in on it, and when I called them after he asked, they were like “Already?! I guess he really couldn’t wait!”
Best NYC moment together: Everything! Between our friends, restaurants, events, shows, parties, sightseeing and just walking through different neighborhoods- we’re constantly talking about how much we love living here.

Hey Hadley,
Do you remember me? i used to call you a Strawberry Blonde when we were in lincoln umpteen moons ago. i remember saying you'd grow up to look like rita hayworth and you do! i rest my case. you also used to be quite the footballer!
your pix are lovely; you are quite the beautiful young woman now, and with a handsome fiancé. you go.
i'm living and teaching in london now and i pop over to paris de temps en temps. maybe we'll bump into each other one of these days.
please say hello to my old rascally chums, sandy and graham; tell them i said it certainly would be lovely to catch up.
all best to you and edouard for a long and happy life together, full of wonder.
big hug,
moira (ferguson)
