It had been 23 years, 9 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days we gathered since the last time we met. He was in Canada while She spend her years in Sunny California.
Call it luck, fate, destiny, “perfect timing”, the Internet gods, or computer love-dunno. But after 5 months of daily conversation by phone, a “first sight” meeting that lasted 5 days, a friend’s Canadian wedding, and a drive back to L.A., we stopped in downtown Portland to eat.
La Fonda Restaurant was hardly the place I envisioned proposing to Claudia. Totally shocked her too apparently. We were talking and shopping rings, eating the best lunch plate, and enjoying eachothers company-like this had been our routine for 20 years.
We spent the afternoon looking at rings, pricing them, and comparing notes when I thought it would be a good time to propose. So, a few qualifying questions, few beers, and a “Will you marry me if I bought that ring” type confirmation later, I pocketed the shined, sized, and bought ring in less than ten minutes!
I got nervous so I went to the restroom to practice my speech and summon my courage. I returned to realize my courage was left at the bathroom door and there was never a speech!
So I gave her the bag which contained an empty ring box. Just as she was about to ask where’s the ring, I slid off the chair to one knee with a ring stealthily slipped onto my pinky. The gesture was more than the speech could have ever provided. All I know that I said something which she agreed to and we have been engaged ever since.
I am reminded of that day by Claudia’s smile, her giddy ways, and how she always seems to glow when she talks about the ring and our wedding day. She says she has never taken it off but to clean (I make it a habit when I clean it to get on one knee and place it on her finger!) it or wash her hair. I am amazed at how much she cherishes our engagement and our wedding day.
I didn’t expect a trip from L.A. to Canada, and Portland, Oregon with Claudia would add so much to my life. She is the love of my life I had to wait 23 years to receive. But 23 years is like 23 minutes in that we have shared so much in 2009!

Taj tricked Jennifer and said he had a corporate meeting and after the meeting they were having a cocktail hour at the Ayres Hotel and he wanted Jennifer to meet him there. Jennifer was excited to go because they hadn’t been back to the hotel since they met there 2 1/2 years prior.
On Jennifer’s drive over, Taj told Jennifer to come upstairs to the balcony where the party was being held. Jennifer thought, “What balcony, I don’t remember a balcony. And nothing for meetings on the second floor, but whatever I will just go.” When Jennifer arrived she went up the stairs and walked right passed the entrance to the balcony. Once she realized where the balcony was she thought, “There is no one out on the balcony.” Then, she looked around the corner and saw what was really waiting for her. Taj was sitting at a table with a red rose and a bucket of champagne on ice. One of their songs, No One by Alicia Keyes, was playing in the background. Taj came to Jennifer, standing in shock, and got down on one knee and asked Jennifer if she would make him the happiest man in the world and marry him. Of course she said yes!
Thank you Taj and Jennifer for a awesome time! Also a huge shout out to Karla Amador with Amador Events the whole event was on point! Thank you Karla you are a amazing wedding coordinator!!
