My teachers made a HUGE deal out of it. THey had me open a gift up in front of the kids ad it was a turtle charm for my bracelet! The kids all cheered and yelled "YAY MS. AIMEE!!"
And dude - the gifts I got today?? HOLY CRAP!
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
My most recent friends to get married got "officially" engaged at BJ's Wholesale, because there was a ring she liked that was on sale.
That's a good story! (You're telling it, aren't you?)
Other stories I find funny: a partner I worked for who casually asked his wife to marry him during a break in her cross-examination of the sexual practices of Andrew Crispo, S/M art dealer/accused murderer. The comedian who asked his wife to marry him while stopped at a stoplight. Both women were outraged.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yay, Aims!
As to the other subject, if you don't have at least a general idea of the kind of proposal someone would want, you don't know them well enough to have any business marrying them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Congrats, Aims!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Another thing? Never knew this before getting engaged, but jaycees crisco, do you get asked about it. That story better be interesting! And remembered!
Heh. This is very true. We, uh, may have embellished ours a bit, by mutual agreement.

Yay, Aims! That is awesome news. Look at you, living the dream!
I did a public proposal, but it was after we got the ring together and generally decided that I'd propose to him on Sadie Hawkins Day. Which I did! While officiating a pub quiz. (we knew practically everyone there.) It was fun.
