The Meet Cute: Ballroom dance instructors Paige and Brendan were teaching classes at different studios. In 2017 during a dancing competition, the two were introduced to each other and started dancing together before ultimately becoming an item.
The Proposal: Paige and Brendan were visiting Portsmouth, New Hampshire, for a cozy Christmas weekend with a big group of friends. The group planned on topping at a Christmas themed bar, witness a tree lighting and do some shopping. At the tree lighting, Brendan suggested he and Paige take a picture in front of the tree, but before she knew it, he was down on one knee asking her to marry him. “Even though we had been together for almost seven years at that point and we had spoken about it, it was completely unexpected,” Paige says, “but exactly how I would have hoped it to be!” The pair will wed in December 2025 at Crystal Lake Golf Club in Manville.
