She said yes!

Ok, it's really no surprise that she said yes, right? But that didn't mean that Mike wasn't going to invest the necessary time to make sure every detail was perfect.

From the hours invested in documenting their history together in a beautiful scrapbook... to the conversation with her dad - to tell him how much he loved her and how he wants to make her happy - and to ask for his blessing (not permission, for after all, she's over 30 so permission seems silly)... to the accelerated timing to allow them to tell their families in person over the holidays...

Mike asked Linda to marry him on December 22, 2007, on an empty, beautiful winter beach on Long Island (Robert Moses State Park). Linda, of course, said YES. After 9 years of friendship and 2 years of friendship & love, it was the obvious next step.
