Squeak, stop being so judgmental. Even if you (sof kol sof erroneously)thought the worst, you embarrassed someone in a public forum. Do you really think that an intelligent woman like SJS would have deliberately posted something like that if she had really done something wrong? I am frankly a bit surprised at your tone, and I can only hope that you were being tongue in cheek when you wrote it.
SJS, lovely story. My own story is as follows. My husband whom I had been dating since November, and seeing about 3 or 4 times a week (often with his closest friends double-dating with us), started sending me roses, first one, then two, kind of like lighting like a menorah, until on Tu B’Shvat I received a dozen gorgeous red roses. He took me out to Rosenbloom and Rosetti’s (anyone remember that Kosher Italian restuarant, I think on 18th Avenue?), and before we went inside, sparing you the mushy stuff, he proposed to me. I told him I would give him my answer after dinner (I know, I know) – I just wanted to have a little fun with him, he knew what my answer would be. We went inside and ordered dinner (did I mention this was where we had our first date?), and they brought us a complimentary glass of wine, and midway through dinner I picked up my glass and said, “Mazel tov, Chosson!” Needless to say it was an unforgettable moment.
