Oh, it was so romantic!
I'd had a migraine all day and had been sleeping it off. I can downstairs where he was watching Stewart and ate some broccoli. Then I took some Ambien so I would go to sleep and get rid of the headache for good. I was bumming one of his smokes before I went upstairs to go back to bed, and I said "Do you want to marry me?" And he said "I've been thinking about it a lot. Yes."
I said "Really?...Uh, does this mean we're engaged?" He looked thoughtful and said "Well, I haven't gotten a ring yet."
I took off my grandmother's ring and gave it to him. "Let's worry about a ring after we get the house stuff taken care of."
He put my grandma's wedding ring on my left hand.
ME: "So, we're engaged?"
HIM: "Yep."
ME: "When do you want to get married?"
HIM: "Soon."
Aw. That is a sweet story.
My anxiety dream got replaced by one in which I was on a Style Network show and some style consultant told me that I should always wear red. WTF, subconscious?
Good story!
Or, uh, she could come up with the acronickname, since she's the betrothed one.
Why are we letting Erin pick DAN's name? We generally just pick what amuses us the most. As it should be. She's just marrying him. We've got to type it.

Seriously - priorities, people!!
That said, Dan is one letter less than AFEF, so I vote we go with that.
Why are we letting Erin pick DAN's name?
My bad. I got stuck on the whole she's-actually-his-fiancee thing. Silly me.
Erin, that's a very sweet story.
P-C, texting your sister is fine, especially if you'd normally text her on a Friday morning to say hello or the like. Asking your sister how your mother's doing, not such a good idea.
