Nancy and Jimmy Fallon met on the set of Fever Pitch as she worked as one of the producers of the show. The romance between Jimmy and Nancy started after Jimmy attended Nancy's birthday party in May 2007. Nancy's long-time friend Drew Barrymore, organized the occasion and invited Fallon to the party.
Nancy and Fallon dated for 3 months before Jimmy proposed. Jimmy had planned to propose earlier, but Nancy wrecked his plan by surprising him with a dinner at restaurant Per Se. Fallon told The Daily Mail;
"I didn't want to propose in Per Se because what if one year it moves location. And years later I'm going to have kids and go, 'Your mom and I got [engaged here]. I know it's a laser tag place but at one point it was a very fancy restaurant."
According to People the proposal took place at Nancy's family home in Wolfeboro on Lake Winnipesaukee. Fallon proposed using a unique ring designed by Neil Lane.
Jimmy talked to People about wedding plans and described Nancy as the 'coolest girl' in the world. He said;
"I'm just really excited right now and just happy. I'm the luckiest guy on earth. She's the coolest girl in the world. It was serious. I did the whole one knee thing. I tried not to cry before she did. I was breaking down a little bit. I don't even remember what I said."
Jimmy and Nancy got married in December 2007 in an intimate ceremony that involved close friends and family.
