[QUOTE="Fran, post: 127260, member: 3"] husband and I were in the midst of a month long torrid romance when he was transferred to NYC. Over the course of 2 or 3 months, our phone bills were through the roof. husband came home to break up since it wasn't practical. It was during the air traffic controller strike. On the way home husband was pretty sad because he had dumped me. He was stuck on the runway for 3 hrs next to a guy who said that maybe if he felt so bad, he should get married. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I figured it was a practical choice. Long distance was very difficult. He called Monday night and asked me to marry him. I was so speechless I didn't know what to say. I said "thank you for such a nice compliment". Needless to say he laughed at me. I said yes and we were married 4months later. We had little money but we had a nice wedding. Lots of food, but I wore my mom's gown. My most expensive piece of clothing was my shoes. I wouldn't do well with a public proposal like you see on the Jumbotron at baseball games. I would be way to embarassed. In the end I didn't really have a preconcieved notion of how it should be done but husband's ways seem to suit my personality. On our 20th anniversary, he did get down on one knee and proposed with a beautiful engagement ring. It was sweet and built on years of hard work. He is a good guy. [/QUOTE]
