Jed showed me the ring he purchased and said he wanted to propose while we were in Israel visiting my son Dan. Class...all the way...Class.
I informed Rachels brothers, Dan & Jason, and my brother David (who informed the rest of the family) and virtually all of us knew what was to happen, except that is, Rachel.
On our second night in Israel, Jed asked Rachel to take a walk with him on the beach. We had an apartment about 50 meters from the beach (Mediterranean Sea). She agreed. Dan looked at me after they left and suggested, when they return, we don't say anything... just in case Jed does not ask her or if... heaven forbid, she says no...lol.
So when they returned... we said nothing but "welcome back" ... then Rachel started jumping up and down yelling ...I'm Engaged!"... wow... kisses and hugs and Mazel Tovs...never seen her happier...
On the way back from the beach, Jed and Rachel got someone to snap a photo of the newly engaged couple...
A close up of the ring...
It was quite a site...Rachel then raced to the internet to alert the world... some of which, already knew... lol
Later in the week we were at a "shook" (an open air market.. kind of like an all around, something for everyone, flea market... some good stuff though... and Rachel decided to buy a ring for Jed... Silver with lettering in Hebrew on the band saying "I am part of you, you are part of me"... she got on bended knee and placed it on Jed's hand...
It was a good day... They were all good days...
