THE PROPOSAL

Ambreen’s favorite number is 8 so I wanted to do something that would not only be memorable, but also incorporate the number 8. Luckily in the year 2008, I had that opportunity. On Friday August 8, 2008 I picked her up and blind folded her and took her to Lake Carolyn in Las Colinas, TX. After we parked our car, I walked her down to the boat docks where a Gondola was waiting for us. Ambreen knew something was up at that moment and exactly at 8:08 pm when the sun was setting on 08/08/2008, I asked Ambreen if she would marry me. She said, “YES!!” The memorable night continued as we enjoyed the Gondola ride under the stars, with romantic ballads sung by the gondolier. Next was a limo ride and dinner at the French Room where we celebrated our “official engagement,” with Ambreen and I reminiscing about how our journey started. We concluded the night with a ride around the town before heading back home.
