Morris County Man Pops the Question at Westchester's Winter Wonderland

There was something in her skate...

VALHALLA, NY — There was romance on the ice at Westchester’s Winter Wonderland this weekend when New Jersey residents Tina Bacolas and Matt Iaccheo hit the rink.

On Saturday, Iaccheo hid a box with an engagement ring in Bacolas’ ice skate as she was putting it on. She noticed it, he proposed — and she said yes.

County officials offer congratulations to the Pompton Plains couple.
