Rob and Sav went on their first date in the middle of a snow storm in March. Rob went out on a limb and suggested a less traditional first date at Play CLE. This was a high ropes course and rock climbing gym. Little did Rob know Sav has a fear of heights. Luckily, Sav stuck it out and that shaky, slightly awkward first date ended up to being the first of many. They spent that summer exploring new breweries, attending concerts in Cleveland as well as a trip to Costa Rica.
Sav and Rob traveled to the Middle East to meet some of Sav's best friends from working at the Cleveland Clinic in Abu Dhabi. The first night in Dubai, after a couple of drinks and appetizers, they called it an early night. Back at the hotel Sav wanted to sit on the patio before bed. Rob said he was going to the restroom but snuck into the bedroom to grab the ring from his luggage. There, overlooking the Dubai Marina, Rob began to tell Sav how much he cared for her and how better his life is with her in it, then asked the best question in Sav's life. Clearly she said yes!
