Love blossoms on 3rd Avenue with help from a fortune cookie
It’s not everyday you get a fortune cookie that contains a marriage proposal. But that’s exactly what happened to Danielle Jabour, a real estate saleswoman from Bay Ridge. Her boyfriend, Manny Saviolakis, visited her on Christmas morning and presented her with a fortune cookie with a message inside that she’ll never forget.
“I got the best fortune ever!” Jabour said. The message inside the fortune cookie read, “Will You Marry Me, Kookla?”
Kookla, a word meaning “beautiful doll” in Greek, “is Manny’s pet name for me,” Jabour said. Saviolakis is of Greek descent.
