Stephen was wearing his coat when he met Julia, his exit quickly disrupted in favor of briefly chatting her up at the bar. The two met again at Manhattan’s the next day for dinner. The Hanleys shared faith and values led them to wed in 2007, and have since enjoy spending time together and with their children.
Jason and Julie Sanderson
Jason and Julie Sanderson had their first date at Manhattan’s in 2009, after a friend — who had their best interests in mind — set them up. Jason is an art teacher at Bedford High School, and Julie is the marketing director for Franklin Park Mall. Since their meeting, they choose to celebrate each anniversary and special occasion at Manhattan’s Restaurant. Their key to happiness? “Don’t settle,” Jason said. “When the right person comes along, you’ll know.”
