Our
proposal took place at the beautiful
Geoffrey's
Restaurant in Malibu. Geoffrey's
is outdoor dining in the world's most
perfect climate, with cliffside seating
offering Panavision views under the
bluest sky on earth, or a carpet of
stars.
It
was April 20th, 2005. It was our 7th
month anniversary. I told Karina that
we are going to Geoffrey's to celebrate
our 7th month anniversary. Little did
she know that I have a big surprise
waiting for her.

The
restaurant was the most beautiful setting
and the perfect place for a proposal. They
sat us in the best spot on the balcony in
the corner over looking the sea. The water
was very calm and sky filled with stars.

I
had purchased a very gorgeous diamond
ring for Karina and I had ordered a
heart shaped cake in advance with the
words "Karina, will you marry me."
I had placed the ring on the cake in
a little heart shaped box.
In
the middle of dinner, I asked Karina
if I could be excused for restroom and
I went to my car and got the cake. I
had already made arrangement for the
management to bring the cake out on
my clue after dinner.

During
dinner conversation came up about our future.
I could sense that Karina wanted to know when
I am going to propose to her and that she
didn't want to wait much longer. I told her
that I love her so much but would like to
wait few more months before I propose to her
and that it was not going to be too long.

After
we finished dinner. I asked the waitress
if she could bring us a little cake
because it was our anniversary. The
waitress brought the cake and I jokingly
told her "Wow it's a big cake."
When she sat down the cake, it took
Karina a few seconds to read the cake
and realize what was going on. After
she read the writing on the cake I got
down on my knees and ask her if she
would marry me. Karina was shocked and
froze. She did not know what to say
in excitement. Her tears started running.
She could not answer me. And before
she could say yes I put the ring on
her finger. Then I asked so? and then
she said YES and started crying.

It
was the most emotional experience for both
of us. We hugged and kissed each other and
people started clapping for us. We could hear
people saying "Oh he just proposed"
and "Did she say yes?"
Some
lady came over and congratulated Karina while
I was in the restroom, saying that her husband
proposed to her in similar way.
When
we were leaving the guy next to our table
called me "a smooth operator."
Afterwards
we went to the beach close by and walked around
a little. It was one of the best nights of
our lives and we would never forget this.
