Me: I don't know, Honey, is that an April Fool's joke? Hubby: No. Me: I guess we're getting married.
I believe I've posted that story before but I maintain it's one of the least romantic marriage proposals ever. But effective. We have a poster autographed by the entire '91 team congratulating us. It is not for sale.
