Donald and Karen share a love for what they do, which is how they met. They both work in medicine, Donald as an Orthopedic Surgeon, and Karen as an Orthopedic Physician Assistant. Together they practice in small town in Cape Cod Massachusetts, in a small private practice. They came to realize how much they share in common and their love grew out of a great respect and friendship with one another. They both love to support their local sports teams, go skiing, and most of all, love to socialize and travel to new places. Donald decided to run in his first distance road race on August 11, 2013, in which Karen and other family members were also running. It was a gorgeous sunny day on the Cape that day and family and friends from out of town were gathered to watch the race. At the end of the race after he crossed the finish line, he surprised Karen with an engagement ring, and a celebratory clambake afterwards. They quickly decided on their destination wedding in Marco Island Florida at the beautiful Marriott Resort. Their wedding day started off with some glitches, including a rainstorm, but in the end the sun came out for a wonderful celebration. Along with their family and friends they shared a beautiful start to the rest of their lives together.
