Allow me to (who's gonna stop me, you?) recreate for you the truly romantic proposal I received from my lovely bride.
The year, 1990. The time, Christmas Eve. The place, Asheville, NC. OK, this sort of sounds like "Rent". We were in Asheville to visit our parents. Both sets of parents lived in Asheville at the time - Asheville is Anita's hometown and my folks had moved down from NY just after I graduated college. Anita & I met in Richmond, but my Dad worked less than a mile from where Anita's Mom lived. We truly were destined to be together.
So, Christmas Eve in Asheville. We were hungry. Not a lot of places open for a late lunch. Pizza Hut was pretty much our only choice. So, after ordering a romantic pepperoni & mushroom pie, we start chatting. Talking about how we were always destined to be together. Anita says "hey, want to get hitched?".
No ring. No candlelight. No bended knee. Just a "you've got tomato sauce on your chin" kind of statement.
Naturally, I was swept off my feet and immediately said a teary yes.
What I didn't mention to her then is that I would make fun of this proposal for the rest of our lives. She's been a really good sport. So far.
Love you Sweetheart.
