...my best friend asked me to be his wife. Although I had known a proposal was coming, he took me by surprise all the same.
He was driving me back from college to spend a long weekend at home, and since it was dark, we decided to stop and do some star-gazing (this was something we used to do way back when, back when we didn't drop onto our pillows in exhaustion the moment the sun went down).
Although the day had been overcast, the clouds had cleared away and it was a beautiful, though cold, evening. Jeff reached upward, as if to touch the stars, and when his hand came down, there was a ring. He went down on one knee and asked his question.
My answer? "Yes, a thousand times yes!" And the rest, as they say, is history.
I love you, darlin'. Thanks for being so wonderful to me for so long. You're the only man in the world for me.
