SCOTT FOLEY PROPOSED TO MARIKA DOMIŃCZYK IN A VERY UNCONVENTIONAL WAY: INSIDE THEIR STORY

The couple's sweet beginning was noteworthy. In a 2019 PeopleTV interview, Foley revealed he met Domińczyk through her older sister, Dagmara, with whom he previously worked in a Broadway production in New York.

Domińczyk recalled how Dagmara played a "match-maker" because the latter insisted that she and Foley looked good together. However, Dagmara first doubted whether the pair would click together because Domińczyk was 23 and the actor was 31.

The age difference, however, did not prevent the lovely duo from seeing one other. While it took Foley a bit to make the first move since he sought Dagmara's approval before asking for a date, Domińczyk directly asked him out for a date.

Both Domińczyk and Foley grew inseparable. In an interview on "The Ellen Degeneres Show," Foley revealed the details of his unusual marriage proposal to his wife. He said while Domińczyk was driving the car, he started a fight. He added:

"I didn't have a plan, so I picked a fight, right? I got her all riled up, and I said, 'Why are you with me? We've been together for four years. I'm not gonna marry you. I'm a lot older than you.'"

He added that he considered cheating on her. Unaware that it was part of his marriage proposal, While Foley took a while for Dagmara's approval before asking for a date, Domiczyk reached out to him directly and asked him out on a date.
