This is so lovely. I love these lines: "He kneels down to tie a non-existent shoe lace and instead holds up a ring"--how the shoelace doesn't even exist but he still uses it as a kneeling ploy :). It's a pleasure to follow the timeline of your love story. Thank you, too, for the shout-outs 💛. I miss the NaPoWriMo prompts--they generated so much for me!

It's what he actually did! 😂 He loves dumb jokes like that! I remember turning around like "what? You don't have shoe laces at the moment!" And then being stunned by the proposal 😍 prompts are so helpful! Thanks for your kind words!

Hee hee. I love it. My husband knows how easily amused I am and has a nice supply of silly jokes on hand that absolutely crack me up 😊.

Loved this love story!! Long story short, my husband and I met tailgating at a college football game (we were both out of college and in our careers), we were engaged three months later, and married six months after that.
