I hope i get the story right, i love it!
Well my mom knew my dads mom, sister (terry), and brother all before she knew him (they all worked together)
one time she was at a bar and my dad was part of a pool team and he was playing that night (so romantic right

haha) and she saw his last name on it which was the same as my aunt terrys ( she knew her from work).
so she asked him if he was related and he said yeah and blah blah blah.
she actualy thought he was a big loser and xD
anyway so she got over that he was a loser and went on a couple dates with him & he said " i dont think we should go steady", so he could go on dates with other girls and my mom could sit at home and think of him
well their next date she told him about how she went on various dates and after she told him about her dates he decided that they should go steady xD
then like 7 months into being steady he breaks up with her because he was planning on not getting married (xD) and he knew guys that would have gf's for like 5 years who werent planning on ever getting married and he thought it was so cruel.
silly daddy (;
so two months after they break up he finds out the he isnt the only one extremely depressed from the break up (my mom went down to 95 lbs! she was to upset to eat

) and they got back together.
then a couple months after that he chickens out twice on asking her to marry him
both nights he took her out to wonderful, fancy dinners
then after the second night he chickened out when he got home he called her & told her that he needed to talk to her
he rode his motorcycle in the rain 45 minutes to my moms house
they were in the basement, my moms parents upstairs
my mom in tye-dye pj's with no make-up
my dad wet, from rain and the nervous sweat he was breaking out in
he pulled out the rind and asked her to marry him

i think its uber cute
omg that is SOO much longer than i thought it was!
Thats so funny!
