5 Different Ways to Pop the Question
1. A simple yet timeless romantic way to propose is to do it the old fashioned way. In a quiet setting, tell her you love her and expand on different ways that she has enriched your life. Then get down on one knee with the ring in your hand, and ask her to be your wife. Many women will appreciate the classic approach to a marriage proposal.
2. Incorporate her likes and passions into the proposal. For instance, if she is an animal lover, tie the ring to the collar of a puppy using a bright ribbon. As she’s cuddling the puppy, she’s sure to find the ring. Then you can ask her to marry you. She’ll melt at the sight of the new pet (and you down on bended knee), and the pet will have special meaning to both of you.
3. If your future fiancé has always dreamed of going to Europe, ask her to marry you in a foreign language, like French or Italian. Complete the proposal with the promise of a honeymoon in Europe.
4. Tell her your love and happily-ever-after was written in the stars. Adopt a star in both your names.
When you receive the certificate for your star, present it to her with the ring.
5. Make her dreams come true. Many women love to talk about the perfect proposal she has dreamed about since she was a little girl. If she has never told you about her dream proposal, ask her friends and family for help.
Make the proposal tailor-made just for her.

My Lucky Dragon
Feng Shui Consultant
Feng Shui, literally translated, means Wind and Water. It is a system of philosophy, a practice and art that has been used for thousands of years as a method of creating balance between people and their environments.
Almost every culture of the world reflects some awareness of the power of placement and the value of understanding the environments we inhabit in its wisdom teachings. It is this ancient legacy that Feng Shui practitioners seek to enliven, embrace, uphold and share. At the deepest level of understanding, Feng Shui is the interplay between the seen (our surroundings) and the unseen (energy and intention). Feng Shui acknowledges the interconnectedness of all things.
Scientific studies prove that our environment greatly influences our mental, physical, and emotional well – being. When our homes feel safe, nurturing, and inspiring, we have better health, a more positive outlook, improved relationships, and greater success. So many people today lead hectic and stressful lives. They want to come home to a place that creates a sense of peace, beauty, security, and comfort.

« Feng Shui Consultation
« Space Clearing/House Blessings
« De-clutter/Organization Session

I meet amazing people everyday and I’m so impressed when I’m introduced to people who have a passion for their jobs like I do.
As a wedding planner, I get asked for advice on all sorts of subjects. Once in a while I have a young couple in the process of buying their first home right in the middle of planning their wedding! So to help them (and me) keep the stress level down and the focus on fun and excitement…I turn to the best realtors in San Diego.
It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Dave Werth and Mary Aronoff :
Dave Werth graduated from California State University San Marcos with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications. Directly out of college, Dave spearheaded Milieu Networks LLC, a startup indoor advertising and software firm, where he served as managing partner and head of business development.
With a passion for real estate investment, and desire to make a career out of it, Dave made the move to Keller Williams Realty where he has been building the Versa Team over the past two years. The Versa Team offers a full scope of services from representing buyers to assisting distressed homeowners that are facing foreclosure.
In 2010, Dave became a Certified Distressed Property Expert, sharing this designation with a very small percentage of Realtor’s in the U.S. As a member of numerous professional organizations, Dave is actively involved in his community, and is consistently making efforts to improve his team.
Dave enjoys playing music, home brewing, and spending time with his beautiful wife and two children.
I would like to begin by saying that real estate is in my blood. I have always had an interest in homes, especially rehab and renovation, for as long as I can remember. Out of college, getting my real estate license was the natural “next step.” I moved to the beautiful city of San Diego, upon graduation from the University of Arizona, for the sunny weather and bounty of things to do. This truly is America’s Finest City.
My most recent accomplishment in my professional life was receiving the Certified Distressed Property Expert designation. The housing market and the economy as a whole, has caused hardship for many people. With this CDPE designation, I feel confident that I can help those who are in difficult situations and provide them with thorough and accurate advice. I want to help people avoid the wrath of harassing phone calls, threatening mail from the bank and ultimately, foreclosure.
My passions include spending time with friends and family, playing soccer, cooking, spending time outdoors whenever possible, networking (especially my professional BNI networking group) and meeting new people and of course, helping people buy and sell real estate.
