THE DATE September 6
It was the margarita mix he picked up at a layover in Houston -- as well as similar backgrounds (both grew up in the Midwest, have two older brothers, and love to camp and snowboard) -- that won over Barb. Four and a half years later, during a signature weekend of margaritas and camping, Aaron proposed. "We made all the phone calls and the collective response seemed to be...it's about time!" Barb says.
