It all began on Friday, December 14, 2007.  David was in Boston for a friend's wedding and had arranged for a dinner rendezvous with Ashley (after Shabbat Services).  They met in the lobby of the Courtyard by Marriott in Coolidge Corner in Brookline, just outside of Boston, Massachusetts.  It was a snowy week:  Boston had been hit by a major storm the day before and was to be hit again on Saturday night.  And in between the snow storms Ashley and David met for the first time...little did they know of the avalanche of affection that would follow!
