Very well written. Thank you very much for sharing.

Also, is it terrible that I LOL at the end of your proposal story?

I think it’s awesome to have twins. I know many have a fear of this but I’ve always felt the opposite way. When we lived in NYC 2002 we were pregnant for the first time and unfortunately got a miscarriage. But it was twins. Then we had the good fortune to have Daniel 2004 and are now waiting for our baby girl in August. People call me crazy but I really hoped that we would have twins this time. My wife was less thrilled and looked at me in a threatening way every time I mentioned twins. Turned out it was “only” one this time. I think we will try for a third one at some point and then we would not want to have twins but that’s probably when it will happen….

Thanks for the enlightening answers

Hee hee…we found out similarly about our twins. Except, my husband was there…and my only words were “holy shit” – repeated many, many time. We found out on December 23rd…what a Christmas gift.

My husband propoed in the parking lot of a Dollar General store…I’m not sure if that is better or worse than the fast food.

Love your writing!

My husband wanted to propose to me while watching the Hale-Bopp comet (1996) in the sky. He took me to a little lake with a clear view of the sky, but didn’t think about how cold it still is in March at night here. I got out of the car for about 5 minutes and before he could get his nerve up, I got back in the car. He was so flustered, that after getting in the car, he just said, “Give me your hand.” and then put the ring on my finger. It was so funny.

you tell a good tale. i’m thirsty for more.

my husband proposed to me in the doorway of my (then) new apartment. i responded like elaine on seinfeld by shoving him and saying “SHUT UP!” about three times. it hardly ever turns out how it was planned, and that is what makes it so wonderful. real life gets in the way

The meeting/proposal story is great! And you only walked around for a week muttering after finding out about having twins?? Wow. I think I’d be muttering for at least a month.

that would be me. asking someone to marry me in the least romantic place. Anticipation and I do not get along well. I would burst as well. Great stories tho.

I proposed to my wife at her college graduation. Upon reflection, I should have done it differently.

I’m still wiping the tears of laughter away.

One of my best friends was proposed to this way as well. Must be that whole anticipation thing getting the better of men.

My husband proposed to me in the kitchen of my apartment. What a romantic he is.

The story of you finding out about the twins was so sweet.
