It was nearly 16 years ago at Shaarey tikvah synagogue and although I (Aaron) may have talked a little too much about Camp, Judith and I became close friends. Over the years we had many adventures... getting lost in different neighborhoods of Cleveland, being camp counselors together and hanging out in the same friend circles. We stayed in touch while Judith was in Israel and during our early years in college but fell out of touch for a few years.

We hadn't seen each for a few years until one fateful evening at a family friend's house for the high holidays. That was nearly 4 nearly years ago now. We saw each other from across the room and have been together ever since. Some could say it was love at second glance or something like that. We hope you enjoyed our story and are looking forward to our wedding!

From the moment we went on our first date just after thanksgiving I knew I wanted to marry Judith. It took months of preparation for me to pick the perfect place. I knew a sports stadium wasn't our style and that Judith really didn't want a scavenger hunt so I thought long and hard about places and activities that were special for us. We both love going to the art museum and geo-caching, so I put together a plan to go geocaching downtown with her after visiting the Cleveland Art Museum.

I waited a few more months while I picked out a ring and was gifted a beautiful diamond from Babu, it fit perfectly in the setting I had chosen! Everything was set... Except for keeping this huge secret from Judith. It was one of the most difficult parts of our relationship because we tell each other everything.

After months of waiting, it was the Sunday after Thanksgiving, our anniversary and I insisted we go to the art museum for an activity before a nice dinner to celebrate. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. As we made it through the exhibits Judith became concerned that I was acting strangely and asked if I wanted to go geocaching in the courtyard. I couldn't believe it! I quickly picked out the geocache I wanted us to go to and we headed out, down by the lake. She turned away looking in the distance for any sign of the hidden object and when she did I go on one knee. When she turned around I asked her to marry me. After a few moments of silence she said yes!
