We met as high school seniors in Langley, Virginia where Jack helped Karén follow some of her parent's rules, and Karén helped Jack break a few. In college we spent over $10,000 traveling between Texas and Virginia to see each other once per month (no really, we calculated!). We worked hard to get to New York City where we could live in the same place and knew within two months we wanted to get married. Jack asked Karén in front of Lincoln Center to marry him and she said yes!
