Well, I think I told my story of how I met my husband in another thread...when we met, I was 28, he was 27. (

Flash forward FOUR years later (uh...yeah...!). I gave him an ultimatum (go me!), & he made his decision. So he picked out a ring, & we planned to go to Key West (I lived in the Miami area at the time)...but first, he had to stop by my parents' house. (Yeah, we all knew it was coming..come on, I was 32-about-to-turn-33. And yes, even at this age, he respected my parents' wishes!)
So we got to Key West. The next evening, we booked one of those sunset cruises - I thought it he was going to propose on the schooner, with everyone there...but he didn't.
The next morning, we rented a little speed boat & we went zipping around. When we got to the southernmost point of the U.S., he turned off the engine, kneeled, asked me to marry him, and gave me the most gorgeous ring - I was so scared I was going to drop it in the water!!!! Of course, I said yes.
Now, I can look at a map & actually put my finger right on the spot where he proposed...!
My big fat Greek wedding was 4 months later. (no one was surprised it was so soon
Okay, so it wasn't very Greek since we didn't get married in the church, but that's another story...
