Evelyn Knabel, the fiance’s grandmother admire Lindsay’s ring as Steve looks on at the engagement party held Saturday, November 17th at the Stonegate in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.
Lindsay and Steve were childhood sweethearts and by all indications, they haven’t lost the giggly fun of being together six years after their first meeting. One finishes the other’s sentence with nary a breath of hesitation.
“Unmistakable sign of compatibility,” gushed a friend. “Total devotion,” observed another.
Six years of steady companionship culminated in the couple’s formal engagement reception over the weekend, attended by close friends and family. The multicultural guest list represented Lindsay’s Filipino lineage and Steve’s French origins.
“Culture was never a factor in our relationship,” Steve related. “For me, diversity was a normal thing.” Lindsay nodded in approval, a twinkling ring on her finger.
For all that talk of diversity both families share something in common - dedication to health care. The Sygacos are successful home health care entrepreneurs while Dr. Dadouche is a Vice President at Baxter.
Dinner was served under a cozy white canopy decorated with hundreds of glowing candles and roses warmed even further by romantic ballads and hot dance numbers from a live band. The successful affair only marked the beginning of a year’s preparation for what many expect will be a huge wedding celebration next summer. (ABF)
