Such sweet engagement stories.

In re: the embarrassed teen daughters - when I was a kid and used to have friends sleep over, they would sometimes ask if we could do something and that I should ask my mom. I'd say, "I can't. She's in the shower." "So ask your dad." "Can't. He's in the shower, too." "WHAT???" I was so embarrassed of it at the time, but now think it's very sweet. At one time, they had this little framed picture of geese in a shower that said, "A goose in the shower is good clean fun." Hahahahahaha! And yes, they still shower together.

And he was STILL quite blatantly besotted with her, head over heels, couldn't believe his good fortune type smitten. Apparently much to the embarassment of his teenage daughters.

awwwwwww! That's so nice.

And yes, they still shower together.

cute, yet creepy when it comes to parents. Cause I only shower a deux with intent , y'know?

A friend of mine's parents always showered together. She remembers the first time she found out that not everybody's parents did.

What are your favorite marriage proposal stories?

Ugh. Sore spot (which you couldn't know).

Let me know when we move on to other topics.

Skip the whitefont.

I'm embarrassed to say I know my favorite marriage proposal from America's Funniest Home Videos. The groom got the help of an entire airplane. This was back when you could wait at the gate. As the passengers disembarked, the future bride noticed they each had a fower. Then the first one walked right up to her, handed it to her, and walked away. So did the second, and the third... a huge bouquet of flowers later her boyfriend walked off the plane (last) and took a knee.

OK next topic... I am up too early (thanks to Persey) buying myself songs for my birthday. So far I have...

Happy Birthday- Altered Images

Birthday- The Sugar Cubes

Champagne and Reefer- The Rolling Stones (feat. Buddy Guy)

IIWishIHadBetterN: IDF tanks entered the Strip few hours ago, after an attack on IDF forces that killed one and injured 3 today.

Happy real birthday, Laga.

And now she's gone to a meeting. Woe.

Just got home, and the house is empty but for the scent of cooked eggs. I miss him. Stupid staff meeting. Now it'll be twelve hours before we can spend time together. And did I mention, I have to get up and get going early again tomorrow morning? Stupid, stupid staff meetings.

I got growled at, into my hair between that spot on my neck that makes me grivel and my ear, "Marry me, gorgeous."

I'd overheard him and his roommate making a bet, you see. I was a teetotaler (yes, I was!), and roomie bet H I wouldn't take a drink on H's birthday, H bet I would. I would have romped all over that for the effrontery of betting on me, but the wager was a month's utilities--roomie could afford it, H could not. So on the birthday, he offered me his glass, I took it and slammed the shot and handed the glass back. He proposed. I found the same spot on his neck and said, all growly, "Don't.ever.bet.on which way I'll jump.again."

He had to ask four or five more times before I took him seriously. In fact, he'd started inserting, "after we're married," and "when we're married" into conversations as though it was a foregone conclusion. Wore me down, eventually.

I am IN LOVE with this story. I am so fangirling Bev and her feisty DH now.

I hope you like him Bev, 'cause he was SO CHEATING. I'd say yes to freakin' Dick Cheney if he hit that spot on my neck.
