Anniversary
With writing about our meeting and courtship, I thought a post about the 'proposal'! was in order! It was Xmas Eve and he suggested we go to the Cathedral for Midnight Mass, which we did, along with his sister and brother. It was a lovely ceremony with lots of beautiful music and flowers,etc. When we came out of church,it was lightly snowing and each flake seemed to gleam with the light and color from the Cathedral doors and windows. Very romantic! When we reached the sidewalk, He said "I have a present for you!". He Knelt down on one knee, reached in his pocket and brought out a tiny box which he handed to me. I opened it and saw a BEAUTIFUL ring, and he asked "Will you marry me? Before I could ask, he assured me he had already gotten an 'okay' from my Dad!!! I happily said YES, and put the ring on my finger!! Later, he said my Dad had set the 'condition' that he finish college before we married. So we had a LONG engagement, until at last he graduated, got a good job (electrical engineer) and saved every dime until we finally married the folowing September!!
