Round Two: Serina & Howard in Boca Raton, FL
Howard made a splash — literally — when he met Serina. "He splilled a glass of red wine on my new Christian Louboutin shoes. Open toe, nude, suede. They were ruined!" recalls Serina. He insisted on buying her a new pair, which arrived to her office the following Monday with a note inviting her to dinner. During their date, they really hit it off and quickly became a blended family — Howard has two daughters and Serina has one son from their previous marriages.
