BERGEN BRIDES Kristie & Dan JANUARY 27, 2017 Photography courtesy of Glenmar Photographers glenmarphotographers.com K ristie and Dan met through a mutual friend in 2012 while out in Hoboken. “Dan was actually working at a club that night,” Kristie says. “But we quickly shared phone numbers and he called me the next day.” The couple went on their first date a couple of days later. Dan proposed while they were on vacation in May 2015. “We were on a cruise and somewhere in the middle of the ocean on our way to the Bahamas,” Kristie says. “Dan had originally planned to propose on the island, but realized the ring was too big and he didn’t want me to risk wearing it and quickly losing it.” So, he proposed during dinner. “The backup plan worked out great and we celebrated on the ship all night,” Kristie says. “Without cellphone recep- tion, we were able to just spend the night letting it all sink in and then call our friends and family the next day to share the good news.” HOMETOWNS BRIDE Lodi GROOM Rochelle Park CURRENTLY RESIDE IN New Milford CEREMONY AND RECEPTION Nanina’s in the Park, Belleville OFFICIANT Rev.
