Day 5: A Picture of Your Favorite Memory
This is a photo of me and my husband on December 19, 1999. This is the day he proposed to me. I have lots of favorite memories, but I remember the date and everything about this day. My boyfriend, Frank, at the time wanted to take me to Rockefeller Center in NYC for some pre-holiday ice skating. I bitched and moaned that it was so touristy and we should go to Central Park and skate. He insisted. I hate cold weather activities, let alone adding waiting on line and paying way too much money so I can fall down in front of thousands. I know-I’m a pain in the ass-why would he want to marry me!
My mother and I had an argument over this trip. He had asked her prior for my hand in marriage so she just wanted me to go and was not tolerating me bitching about it. So, I tried to pretend to be happy about it.
We waited on line in the cold, as I tried to convince him to bail on skating. He kept laughing and saying he thought it would be fun. Once we get out on the ice we a man get down on his knee and propose to his girlfriend. I tug on Frank’s arm and tell him- “now that’s being romantic!” He smiles and turns and gets down on one knee and I beg him to get up. I thought he was making a joke, until I felt a box in his coat pocket. This had been his plan the entire time. I said yes, then I asked him for the box! I think I was in shock. He still laughs about the box part.
The other couple took our picture and we took theirs and then a kind passerby took a picture of the 4 of us together and mailed it to us at Christmas!
