\nKaren and Ross’ first encounter was rather by accident and quite unique. Ross was supposed to go on a date with someone else at the Green Turtle in Olney, MD., whereas\u00a0Karen was going to meet\u00a0some friends she had not seen in a while. Not knowing that they would wind up at the same table together, Ross instantly fell in love with Karen. She\u00a0enjoyed his\u00a0dropping of movie quotes which they instantly bonded over.<\/p>\n
Less than\u00a0two nights later, Karen received a Facebook notification from\u00a0Ross requesting her phone number. Assuming that this was some message he sent\u00a0to everyone, Karen denied it. Ever a fighter, Ross continued his pursue\u00a0for Karen and sent her a message later that night asking if he could take her on a date to a museum in Washington, DC and then out to dinner. Never having had a man think of such a romantic and heartfelt date, Karen immediately said yes.<\/p>\n
Ross planned various things to do prior to his proposal to Karen. They watched movies together and went for beer tasting. Decided not to wait any longer, Ross tricked Karen into believing that he wanted to give her a necklace he no longer wore.\u00a0Karen’s first thought was that Ross was going to give her a wedding ring but reflected on how many times he had\u00a0said\u00a0they had to wait until they got a few other things out of the way first. So she resolved to the fact that Ross was truly just getting her the necklace.<\/p>\n
When Ross came back and\u00a0found Karen laying on the couch, he got down on his knees and presented Karen the necklace and asked whether she liked it, to which she answered yes but unsure what goes with it. Then Ross said, “Well, if you don\u2019t like that, how about this?”

Karen and Ross chose St. Michaels for their engagement photo session because it is the area where they\u00a0are getting married in and they wanted to give people a little glimpse at what is\u00a0in store for the next summer. Both Karen and Ross\u00a0love the water, beach, boats, and all things crabs and Maryland.<\/p>\n![\"Engaged](\"http:\/\/leodjphoto.com\/images\/blog\/Karen-Ross-St-Michaels-Eastern-Shore-Maryland-Engagement-Photography-0052.jpg\")

Karen and Ross sure are a big fan of the Major League Baseball team Baltimore Orioles. They even got this genuine custom-made baseball bat by Louisville Slugger, personalized with their upcoming wedding date and name which you can see in detail on the very first image above.
