How did you meet?: A cold Ithaca, January night featuring snow, ice at the corner of Catherine St and College Ave.  I was slipping on the ice (after returning from winter break from the city I was used to wearing heels and going out later).  In the dark night I asked the person walking in front of me for help.  We ended up exchanging names. A couple days later I received the sweetest email from “that guy” who helped me.  We met up on a “blind” date soon after and have not stopped hanging out since. How did he propose? In January 2008, after getting off a 12-hour flight to Sydney, Australia, he surprised me by asking when we were hanging in the governor’s park overlooking the Opera House, Bay Bridge and Sydney harbor. Best NYC moment together: Restaurant hoping with my parents all over the city.   Future Groom: Christian Boyens Age: 31 Hometown: Hamburg Neighborhood: Midtown - East Alma Mater: Cornell University Occupation: Hotel Manager Parents: Dr. Christian Sr. and Elisabeth Boyens Charities you feel closest to: GlamourGals Foundation, Inc.

When did you know she was “the one”? I knew after a trip to visit my family in Hamburg.  We came back to NY where we spent a sunny afternoon in Central Park and realized how happy I was.   Sign Our Guestbook Name Email Comment   Please enter the text you see in the image at the left into the textbox below.
