Let’s Drink and Be Married!

Lunch at Elks Public House. She got the pasta salad, because it’s the best. He had tacos; they were alright. She loved her haircut. He hated his. It ended with Him: so I wanna see you again, I just don’t know how long to wait to text you Her: oh you can text me right now

It’s winter on his front porch. He’s smoking a cigar and she’s sitting upwind. They’re talking about her upcoming school interviews. Her: well I need to get into this one, I’m trying to avoid an awkward conversation for us Him: there’s no awkward conversation. I’m with you wherever you get into. What I’m trying to say is I love you. Her: I love you too! Finally! I’ve loved you for months.

He flew across the country to visit her with the perfect ring that arrived only two days before leaving. Both sets of parents were impatiently waiting. She had no idea. It’s barely raining at Niagara Falls, Canada side, and they’re struggling with the light in a selfie of the two of them. She’s making sure she looks good in the photo. He sneaks a little box into the frame while making a face. She turns to berate him about not smiling and he’s on one knee. It was a lovely proposal caught on tape by an exceptional couple of strangers. They bought bubbly and cigars at duty free and drove back to sit on her front porch. Cozy under a blanket, they started planning this happily ever after.
