How did you meet?:
Through a mutual friend who suggested a number of times that Jason and
I go out. Unfortunately, the timing was not right on previous attempts
but in July 2008 I finally agreed.
How did he propose?
We were in Florida for Passover. Jason suggested that we spend the
evening in Miami Beach and stop at his friends' apartment for drinks
beforehand. He told me we could not go up to his friends' apartment
because there were other people staying in the apartment that were
already asleep so we would meet his friends in the cabana. When we got
to the cabana it was set up beautifully with candles and flowers. I
was completely surprised and blown away.

Did the proposal go as planned? Worked
out perfectly (a special thanks to my sister for helping to set it up)
After the first couple of dates, I knew Karen was someone special. I
had a really good time with her and I kept looking forward to the next
time we would hang out. I am always excited to see her and she
continues to appreciate my humor.
