While returning back to New York after visiting Dan's family for Thanksgiving, the couple traveled back in separate planes. Dan gave an antique Russian engagement ring to his sister Mollye and told her to give it to Sue with a note. When the two landed back home, the tears in Susan's eyes made it clear that she was swept off her feet by Dan's proposal. Later, the lovers got married and have been together ever since. Together, the husband and wife have four beautiful children: daughters Georgia, Molly and Grace and a son Jack.
