In 1993 Karan attended the Circus Magic clown convention held every February in Williamsburg, Va. and briefly spoke with a clown named Curt. They didn't see each other until a year later, when they finally met out of costume. They exchanged addresses and phone numbers, communications progressed, and they started visiting each other later that year. At that time Karan lived in Pittsburgh, and when she had an operation that fall, Curtis invited her to stay at his home to recuperate.

Curtis asked Karan not long afterwards to move in with him, even though he had only recently escaped from a bad marriage, and made no secret of avowing never to repeat his error again. Karan needed a little time to tie up loose ends back home in Pa. She wasn't too happy about living together out-of-wedlock, but consented none-the-less. They were in Love!
