[QUOTE="slsh, post: 127327, member: 8"] Oh Fran - you sure do know how to hit a nerve, LOL. We're celebrating our 20th anniversary in a week and I'm *still* waiting for a proposal. He was in the Navy and his roommate wanted an excuse for a party, so he looked at husband and me and said "You guys have been dating for 5 months, why don't you get married?" So we pulled out a calendar and figured out when the sub would be in port and who would have duty on what day and ... voila. We got married. It was, by the way, the best wedding I've ever been to. Informal "aloha" attired at the sub-base chapel in Pearl Harbor, with "reception" at Honeymoon Beach (no joke) on Hickham Air Force Base - we played volleyball, drank beer, and barbecued. A wonderful day. I do point out to my kids, every commercial and movie, the *proper* way to propose. I don't guess I'm ever going to get one from husband. In spite of 20 years of kvetching I think he just doesn't understand that it would be nice - hearts and flowers, etc. [/QUOTE]
