Alright, we seem to have another cyburbanite set to join the marriage clube! I thought we might compare proposal stories...
I'll go first.
It was Thanksgiving weekend (Canadian Thanksgiving) of 2001...I had finally made up my mind to ask Caroline about two weeks before that. Took a week to pick out a ring, and managed to stash it, and a bottle of champagne into my bag as we headed up north to her family's for the long weekend.
On Saturday, I was out with her dad, so I asked his permission - while he was driving. That went alright, though perhaps it would have been better not to do it in a moving vehicle. (I had be trying to get her mom and dad alone together to ask, but that was too hard - plus her mom probably would not have been able to keep quiet).
Sunday morning, bright and early, I asked Caroline to go out to Onaping Falls, northwest of Sudbury, for a walk. She didn't want to go. She was busy helping make Thanksgiving dinner. I was this close to just asking her right then and there in the kitchen, in a very sarcastic manner. Glad I held out. In any event, I persisted, and finally - in a bit of a huff, she relented and off we went.
Onaping Falls is a very nice spot - the Group of Seven did some work around there. Anyway, we found a nice sunny rock overlooking the waterfall, and I gradually eased the box out of my pocket as I began my speech. It took her a few seconds to clue in, but when she did, it didn't take long for her to say "yes".
Awwwwww......
