So here is our second proposal story about Tracy and Ben…
It was a cool October morning… 3:00 a.m to be exact. Tracy and Ben had just finished dropping some friends off at home after a night out. They had decided to make a pit stop on the way home to grab a slice from Nic’s Pizza, which was a dive, a real hole in the wall pizza joint.
They grabbed a table and Ben grabbed a beer, which was totally out of character for this 24 year old who was perpetually the designated driver on nights out. Tracy was a cute shy 21 year old. She and Ben had been together for sometime and she knew things were getting serious. She just didn’t realize quite how much until Ben started quizzing her.
The conversation started off as any other conversation might at 3:00 a.m, “Did you have a fun night?” “How’s your pizza?” Then Ben started asking… “Theoretically… What do you think about kids…?” “Do you want a house?” “Would you move..?” Tracey must have answered all the “theoretical” questions correctly, because next thing she knew Ben looked her in the eye and said “Well, I guess we should get married!” Slightly stunned and excited Tracey agreed, although he never officially asked her, “Will you marry me?”. It was more so decided upon then anything.
Tracy had been instructed by Ben not to tell anyone of their pending engagement, because even though Tracy had said yes, he wanted her to be sure about it and think on it until Christmas as she was still quite young. Tracy had time to think about her engagement to Ben and really thought about what it would mean to be married to the sweet man who sort of “popped the question” at a late night pizza joint. The more she thought about it the more excited she got. She couldn’t imagine living the rest of her life without this special guy. Christmas day came around and she told Ben that she wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of her life with him. He gave her a beautiful ring that day and they have been together for 33 years.
