Dawn Dixon and Paul White fell in love over email in the summer of 1996. After three months sending emails across the Atlantic, Paul flew from the UK to meet Dawn on the top of the Empire State Building in New York City.
Dawn Dixon was looking over New York City from one of its best vantage points: the top of the Empire State Building.
On July 30, 1996, Dawn sent her first email to Paul. She introduced herself as a 36-year-old married woman living in Atlanta:"Write back and we'll chat some more," she wrote at the end, and hit send."And from that, here we are 25 years later," says Paul today.Dawn and Paul's first few notes to one another were polite, friendly and brief as they introduced themselves and sketched out details about their lives.
"As time went on and we started exchanging emails more and more frequently, getting to know each other, it became like a drug," recalls Dawn."We were desperate to write each other all the time and very worried if we didn't hear something." "Finally, it was just like, we had to admit that something's here, there's a connection here that we just can't ignore," says Dawn."It was an overwhelming feeling."
Connecting with Dawn upended these plans. It wasn't an easy separation, but Paul felt ending the relationship was the right thing for the family in the long run. Three months to the day after Dawn had sent her first email, the two would meet for the first time in New York City.The two arranged to meet at the top of the Empire State Building, pictured here in 1996.Paul had always felt a connection to New York. He'd visited once before on his own and fallen in love with the city. In particular, he'd loved the Empire State Building, the Art Deco tower that's as much a cultural icon as it is a building.
Except in"An Affair to Remember" plans go awry when Kerr's character gets hit by a cab that morning and she unwittingly leaves Grant waiting on the viewing platform. On the morning of November 1, 1996, Paul flew from London to New York. At JFK, he jumped in a cab and went straight to Midtown. Dawn says the moment felt like"somebody wrapping a nice, warm blanket around you to say, 'You're safe. You're here. We're together. This is it. This is really happening. And life is good.'"
It was the New York weekend of Paul's dreams, but he was focused more on Dawn than the surroundings. The two were thrilled to realize the connection they'd felt over email was just as strong in person. The day after their wedding, Dawn and Paul watched Paul's daughter win a soccer club final, and then they flew out to Paris for their Honeymoon.While Dawn and her husband had separated quite amicably, Paul's breakup became increasingly acrimonious.
Dawn and Paul turned to one another, amazed, each assuming the other had asked a building official to make that happen."It was just unbelievable," says Dawn. The two saw the moment as a sign that their romance was meant to be.
