We started talking on a free dating site. After multiple lengthy conversations, we met in person and had our first date at the Madison Pour House. We spent several hours talking about our similar taste in music growing up and things just clicked.
The week Of Thanksgiving, Mark and I flew down to Aruba for my cousins Bar Mitzvah. The day after Thanksgiving, Mark, my sister, and I planned to watch the sunset on the beach. As we walked closer to the sand, my sister started to trail behind. We reached an area of the beach and started walking down an "aisle" lit with flameless candles. I asked Mark if we were supposed to be walking down this way and he just gave me smile and said "yes". At the end of the candle-lit path were blue rose petals (both our favorite color) spread on the sand in the shape of a heart. We stood in the middle of the heart, Mark got down on one knee and proposed!
