The Proposal

Saturday, December 16th, 2006

Karen and Paul were spending a weekend in romantic Monterrey, CA so that Paul could get his Scuba certification before their trip to Belize. Unbeknownst to Karen, Paul was planning to propose during dinner on Saturday night. While Paul was out doing his certification dives, Karen was wandering around Monterrey’s cannery row with Paul’s cell phone when she noticed that he received a text message from one of her good friends. The text said “Good luck tonight and I don't mean the diving!” Instantly, Karen knew that tonight was the night he would propose. Later on that day, Paul caught wind that Karen knew. So he had to resort to some unplanned stunts. The first one was being wishy-washy about where to eat that night. The second one being that he was super tired and wanted to just stay in. After Karen practically forced Paul to take her out to a restaurant in Carmel, they ended up wandering around the city looking for a place to hang out. They ended up at the restaurant called Cassanova’s, where they sat in the atrium area under a tree and enjoyed some wine and dessert. At around 11pm at night, when Karen was pretty convinced that Paul was not going to propose, he finally popped the question.

“Will you marry me?”

And you all know what the answer was. :)
