38. The Perfect Proposal Needs No Words
When I kneeled to propose I landed on a sharp rock and we had to go to the ER because it lodged in my kneecap. My wife’s favorite detail about this story: because of the kneecap situation, I forgot to actually ask. She thought I got nervous and froze up and decided to save me by just saying yes. She also stopped me from pulling the rock out of my kneecap with my trusty leatherman which turned out to be the correct decision. She was a little bummed that I wasn’t simply choked with emotion, but the situation as a whole is (now) a very fond memory.
