There was a girl from Pennsylvania who met a boy from England. They were both studying at university; she a degree in the Beatles, Popular Music and Society and he was earning a degree in Media. They lived next door to each other and would often see each other because he would come over to flirt with all the ladies and offer to take out the garbage and do manly things around the flat.
One day she said, "Let's go to the movies." He said, "Okay. Go on then."
Like any relationship these two got off to an interesting start. He decided it would be brilliant to go on a date with some chick. She told him that he was an idiot for doing so. He went on said date and started to be that chick's boyfriend. She said, "It's like you're picking the Rolling Stones when you could have the Beatles." After a few days of trying to figure out what the girl meant, he decided to dump the other chick for a chance with this lady.
It was with this decision that the lady said, "I don't want you to see any other girls." He agreed to the terms and a few days later said, "Well, I don't want you to see any other boys." She chuckled and said, "Okay." As if any other boys were more interesting to her than he was.
Fast Forward through the months: They fall in love; she visits his family and friends; he goes to America to meet everyone she knows. They laugh and love. The writer would say that they fight but they don't because he already knows that she is always right.
Halloween Season came around and they dressed as Jack and Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas. Everyone said how awesome they looked. She knew it was because they were awesome together and it had nothing to do with the costumes. But Halloween is her favorite time of year so she just thanked everyone and attributed the awesome costumes to her enthusiasm for Halloween.
He told her that there was a Halloween Parade on the Sunday before Halloween. Since she's never been to an actual Halloween Parade she was more than willing to go. When they arrived to the park they were at the tail end of the parade which looked quite amazing. They found a bench near the lake and sat down in order to watch the lanterns and fire that were actually on the lake (looked very cool). The couple had their close friends around. She is quite in love with Halloween so she encouraged everyone to come along.
The fireworks were starting. She doesn't really remember much of the show, except that there were guys in boats with fish hats on who lit red flare-like fireworks. She took it upon herself to sit on the backrest of the bench, it gave her a better view. He sat where a person, who isn't up to mischief, should sit which was on the bench.
Yes, the red flare-like things were starting. She leaned close to him, most likely to annoy him, that's what she does best. As she did, he turned to her and said, "Well, since it's peaceful and everything, I guess I'll do it now," as he pulled out a dark box (the writer would like to note it was black but at the time this was only known to the boy). The girl felt her eyes pop out of her head. She said, "Right now?!" He said, "Yes. Will you marry me?" (The dialogue was spoken in this order as this is how she reacts to things.) She brought her hands to her face and tears came to her eyes, this is about the time that she noticed people were watching, and said, "Yes. Yes. Forever, yes."
So, my friends, there you have it, happily ever after may be on its way. :)
Incredibly happy for the both of you. I will see you next Wednesday. :)
