I was talking about this thread with my mom and she wanted me to add this...
When she was a little girl, her Aunt Gertie was dating a guy named Kopie and Gertie promised my mom she could be their flower girl when Kopie got around to proposing to her.
Fast forward 50 years or so, and my mom's still waiting!!! Gertie and Kopie are still happily dating. They've got to both be pushing 80. I asked my mom if she thought they've slept together by now and the poor woman almost choked on her salad
