It's funny, I was younger than my son is now when hubby and I got engaged; and yet I still think of him as a little kid. I guess I really was too, I just didn't realize it.
Here's how naive we were. My then boyfriend, now husband, took me out to dinner at Tumbleweed to propose to me! He thought, at the time, that it was quite fancy. Now he looks back and can't believe he thought that, (neither can I) but that's how sweet and innocent we were. I often wonder what the waitress thought about it! Was she saying, 'Oh, please... this will never last!' in her mind?
And then I wonder if he were to do it all over again, how would he do it? Knowing what he knows now.
When we were in Cincinnati a few weeks ago there was an outdoor skating rink that the teenagers in our group went to. While they were there someone got down on his knee, in the middle of the rink, and proposed. The girls thought it was so dreamy. But, my friend's son thought it was tacky. He thinks an engagement should be a private thing, not one you do in a such a public setting.
I tend to agree. If done over again, I don't think I'd want a huge show with a horse drawn carriage or on the signage at a ballgame. Just something private. Maybe on the beach, or on a cruise, or while taking a walk in the woods.
Whatever the situation, I'd still marry him all over again. He's one of the few people that can put up with me! lol!
