Title: Engaged!
Post by: TimMierz on February 16, 2012, 09:49:07 AM: I host a bar trivia game a few nights a week. This week, I happened to be hosting trivia on Valentine's Day and Kayleigh's birthday, back to back. Kayleigh attended trivia on her birthday, though, so I made it very special. After the last question, I said, "I have one more question, and this one's only for one person..."

She ran up and gave the "correct answer" (yes), and all sorts of happiness abounded. Our families both usually attend trivia night, so our parents and her brother and my cousin all got to see this happen, as did everyone else at the restaurant. Everyone was congratulating us and there was much rejoicing! Yay!

Her team, The Deloreans, also happened to win, but that was merely coincidence.

(For those who participated in the ring thread: we will be shopping for one together on Monday.)
