Proposal
George actually proposed to me sometime last year over rice.
It was at the end of a rough day at work and I was exhausted. So was he.
We had been playing with getting married. Flirting with the subject of proposal.
"If you make me rice, I will ask you to marry me."
So I got my ass up and made some rice, laughing at him and not believing that he was quite ready to make that move.
As soon as the rice was done, and I was setting the pot back onto the stove, I turned to find him on one knee. Smiling from ear to ear. I cracked up "You're not serious!"
"Jen - will you marry me? I don't have a ring, so we can't tell anyone yet, but will you be my wife?"
And so we sat on the kitchen floor, laughing at it all and holding each other as the rice got cold.
I said yes.
One year from this Saturday, we're getting married.
I am so happy and excited.
I have to email my dress lady to see how far she has come with the gown. I keep dreaming of running through the cemetery (yeah - we're getting married in a cemetery) in it with George- throwing leaves at each other. Like you do on your wedding day.
We'll be married in the Quaker cemetery next to the Friends School I teach in. As of now, the plan is that all the kids are invited to the ceremony and will be encouraged to come costumed.
Life is good.
