We had already been planning the wedding, finally got the ring about a month before the date... and after taking me to the movies, and driving along the lake front, he finally "officially" proposed in the parking lot of his apartment building, in his beat-up red Ford Probe! BUT- like you, he is the love of my life, and it didn't matter where that proposal happened, we're still very happily married, 7+years later with many more to come!

Over the summer my kids kept asking me to tell the stories of the days they were each born. Recently the request has shifted to ask about when daddy asked mommy to marry him! My husband and I met in University in Ottawa, Canada. He was a local boy, and I, the girl from out west. Upon graduation, I moved back home to do further studies at Simon Fraser University. Mark followed 3 months later. When my husband proposed (october 1995), he planned a romantic dinner followed by walk in Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver. However, it started to rain (a lot!) during dinner, and his plan to propose in the gardens was thwarted. (He had just arrived in Vancouver, he didn't know about the rain yet!) He did drive us up to a viewpoint in the park, and stop the car. He said "Wait here a minute," got out of the car and came around to my side. He opened my door, and told me stay seated while he was getting rained on, and knelt down in a puddle to propose! I thought it was so chivalrous! Looking back, I think we were so young then (22 and 23 years old). I have really enjoyed reading your love story.

I personally believe long engagements are trouble. And I know whereof I speak, let's just say. I love your love story. Thanks for sharing, and for coming up with such a great idea! My final installment will be up on Thursday. oh, good for you guys for just going for it instead of waiting what someone else thought was a “respectable” time!

It's not the whole story, but I think you'll enjoy it anyway.
