Heather and Andy were Coast Guard Academy seniors who had been dating for a little while (I'm not sure exactly how long). One night, Andy took Heather out to dinner and to a movie. It was a wonderful evening. Then, on their way home, he told her he wanted to go see his football buddies (Andy was a CGA football player). Heather did not like that idea. She got mad. He persisted. She got even madder.
Finally, she snapped, "I'll drop you off and drive myself home!"
They stopped at wherever Andy's buddies were and she told him to get out of the car.
"Ok, but open the glove compartment first."
"You have your wallet, now get out so I can go home!" Heather was not in a good mood. Her boyfriend had just ruined the romantic evening for her.
"No, seriously, open the glove compartment."
Finally, Heather opened the glove compartment. Inside, there was a box. Somehow uncomprehending, she stared at it. Pulling it out, she discovered a little gold ring with a single diamond sparkling in the center.
"Well?" Andy demanded.
Suddenly, it dawned on her. This was an engagement ring. Sliding the ring on her finger, Heather glanced at him, "Does that mean we don't have to go see your football buddies?"
"No, way! They're all expecting us to come on in and celebrate!"
Andy and Heather were married six months later.
So there you have it. He never asked, she never answered. To make up for it, for their 20th engagement anniversary, he sent her an obnoxious Hoops and Yoyo (my favorite!) e-card where they whisper, giggle, then shout, "Will you Marry me?"
I just love my parents. :-D
