My Side of the Story......

So I had a plan to ask my girlfriend to marry me. A nice dinner at a French restaurant. A romantic stroll though the city. Then I ask her to marry be somewhere in the Boston Common.


Towards the end of the main course, my girlfriend casually says, "So I'm not trying to pressure you or anything, but when do you think, we might think, about getting married?" To which I reply, "You know I think we should figure that out soon." My hope was that it would pass and that I could still keep my master plan in tact. But she continued.

"Well do you want a long engagement or a short one?"

"I would like a relatively short one, I mean I don't want to wait another year to get married.

"I mean  I know we have talked about it before......"

At this point I have realized that I should just give up and wing it. So I slowly reach into my coat pocket.

"but do you think, we should think, about getting married?"

I responded; "How about now!"  To which she replied, "Are you serious?  Are you serious?"

Sometimes, the best laid plans never work out.
