How did you meet the one who proposed to you, or to whom you proposed? For my lady and I, it was both romantic, and comic. We were dance partners, we had the aspiration to become professional dancers, some dream, but that's another story. Our lives centred around dance, that being Latin & Ballroom. We trained, taught, rehearsed and lived dance.
To that end we competed as amateurs, but being amateurs we had to finance our "hobby." So to try and save a few shekels, it made sense to share a hotel room when we were dancing away from home. So, I asked her Father if we could do just that. He was having none of it.
"If you want to sleep with my daughter," he said, "you will utter those four famous words. (Remember that I said it was comic?) To his, and my dance partner's total surprise and a comic moment, I went down on one knee and said, (four words, remember,) "You're not, are you?" Implying that she might be in the family way. Ha! She slapped me, then hugged me, then asked, "Was that really a proposal?" Out of ear shot from her Dad, I whispered, "I love you, will you marry me?" "Yes, yes, yes!" She replied. Well there you go, I got something right in my life for once.
Come on, tell us how you became wife & husband. Better still, tell us why or how, you did it more than once.
