kelly and scott met back in july 1996 through a mutual friend in new york. their first date took them to il cantinori, and from there have started their adventures. after 2 years of dating, scott was ready to ask kelly not only to marry him, but to move to hong kong with him for the next chapter of their lives. on the night he proposed, he took her back to new york where they had their first official date, then took her for a late night stroll across the brooklyn bridge. there, he got down on one knee and popped the question. living in asia has let them expand their love of travel and has given them many opportunities to experience new things together. congratulations, kelly & scott!
