I would love to have a romantic story to tell the grandkids. But I don't. I was peeling potatoes at MIL's house a couple of days after my 21st birthday, and MIL said "I thought you were going to get a diamond ring for your birthday". To which DH replied by asking me "so do you want to get married?".

No, I'm not kidding. That was it. I made him take me to dinner later though! It might not have been the best start but we're still together 20 years later!
