“It was probably the most romantic thing he has ever done for me,” Firneno said. “He took me to New York City to propose to me. He finally did it in Times Square.”

Like many others, Firneno “just knew” her f iancé was the one she was supposed to spend the rest of her life with.

The soon-to-be Car ters were engaged a year before the big day. They were mar ried on July 10, 1999.

Now in Malvern, Pa. and fiveand-a-half years later the Carters have welcomed two beautiful children into their family Nathan Jr was born on Dec. 28, 2001 and Anna Amelia was born on June 25, 2004.

“There are approximately 150 alumni couples among the 7,000 graduates in the Cabrini Community,” Christy Baxter, director of individual giving, said. “This is only according to those alumni who have informed the Office of Institutional Advancement. There could be more that we are unaware of.”

Most college students are not coming to college with any intention of finding their future spouse. But who knows? Sometimes love comes when you least expect it.

Crazy in

It’s February and love is in the air. Flowers, candy and teddy bears fill up the to-get-lists for many guys as the Valentine’s Day countdown dwindles. But for some couples, love’s aroma makes them do crazy things all year long.

Take Lauren Smart, sophomore biology pre-med major, for example. A typical anniversary dinner turned into a special and memorable event for her when her boyfriend went to the bathroom. Little did she know, he had walked into the restaurant’s kitchen to have the chef decorate a cake that read “Happy Anniversary.” If that wasn’t enough to make her smile, he later had the violinists come to their table and serenade her with their song.

After being buddies for nearly eight years, Patrick Hill, junior,

Stephen, When I feel like there is no one that will ever know me, there you are to show me... I love you!

Dear BJ, You rock my world. Love, Kel

Aloysius, I’m the peanut butter and you’re the jelly now get over here so we can toast.

Dearest Colleen Bowman, Happy Valentine’s Day to the sweetest girl at Cabrini. Stay beautiful! -your secret admirer showed up at his friend’s door with roses and a life-altering question:

“Will you be my girlfriend?” This love-induced act changed both of their lives and they have been together ever since.

“Something changed inside of me where I couldn’t see myself with anyone else,” Hill said. “She has turned my life around for the best and I hope that I can be as good to her as she has been to me.

I have never been happier.”

Imagine going a month without being able to see your other half.

Kelly James, senior studio art major, had to endure this when her boyfriend went away for hockey camp. During the third week of this pain-staking time, her boyfriend showed up for a surprise visit after sitting on a bus for seven hours, only to stay for a mere eight hours and head back. This month-long duration served as a mere speed bump on Love’s Boulevard.

In an attempt to win an ex-girlfriend back, Jason Radka, sopho- more journalism major, wanted to go the extra mile and do something different for her since the breakup was right before Christmas. He knew that she felt deprived of getting significant gifts from others, so he took her out to dinner at a classy restaurant, and bought her a Coach bag with a matching wallet.

“I knew everybody thought I was going to try to win her back by buying her something nice but it really wasn’t that. I wanted her to have something to remember me by and maybe she would reconsider,” Radka said.

The crazy things people do for love.

What is it about love that intoxicates the mind so? Whatever it is, flowers, surprises and dinner dates seem to do the trick for any gal.

Like Meatloaf says, “I would do anything for love…” Well, what about the “but I won’t do that…” part? Believe it or not, the popular answer for guys was…nothing.
