It’s my understanding that a lot of marriage proposals take place on Valentine’s Day–and why not, it’s the perfect romantic set up for a man to declare his love.  As best as I can remember, Wayne proposed to me in February.    What sticks out most in my memory is that we’d had a small tiff and I was feeling wretched.  We didn’t speak for a couple of days and then Wayne showed up with an engagement ring!  I was in tears.  I figured if he wanted to apologize with diamonds this was a promising future.
