JDate Announces Winner of Nationwide 'Next Top Proposal' Video Contest
Choreographed Musical Proposal Impresses Expert Judging Panel and Lands Couple Dream Vacation
(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/19/13 -- After a nationwide search for the best proposal video from a JDate success story, , the iconic community responsible for more Jewish marriages than all other online dating sites combined, has named Manhattan residents Eric LaBarre and Nina Sturtz "JDate's Top Proposal." Former JDater® LaBarre captured their engagement on camera and the couple shared their musical proposal, "," to win a seven-night vacation in the Bahamas.
Featuring a song and dance by LaBarre, the heartwarming video tells the story of how the two met on JDate and the development of their relationship leading up to the special moment. When LaBarre knew he wanted to propose to Sturtz, he recruited her best friend to help create the video and included family and friends in its production. The proposal was inspired by Sturtz's love of musical theatre, and she calls the video "the most perfect Nina proposal ever!"
"We are thrilled to award the title of 'JDate's Top Proposal' to Eric and Nina," said Greg Liberman, CEO of Spark Networks, JDate's owner and operator. "Eric's creative proposal video captures their love story in song and is a true testament to the incredible relationships formed every day on JDate.
