Which, in Mormon branch isn't really noteworth, I know, but I just thought how it happened was adorable. For Valentine's Day the guy got the girl an aquarium, and then said he wanted to go with her to pick out the fish for it. And when they got the fish he said that these would be their fish, and it wouldn't be right for the fish's parents to not be married. And then he asker her to marry him. [Big Grin]

Isn't that adorable?

I suppose it's cute. But since I'm in a cynical single-guy sourpuss mood right now, I really wish there was a puking smilie.

If I hadn't already proposed to my wife in January, I might have waited untill March just to avoid accidentally proposing on Valentine's Day.

I'm afraid of fish. I made my husband get rid of his before I married him. I would have refused.

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

Porter, you really should have proposed to your wife a long time before now . . .

[No No]

January 1998.

Secrets out now! [Big Grin]

Oh, what a night.

KQ - I dreamed last night about this giant fish that hovered above the ground. I was trying to hide, but it would see me and "swim" really fast right at me, picking me up in its mouth and chewing on me.

Posted by Coccinelle (Member # 5832) on :

I think that's adorable!

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

I don't think it's adorable. Who wants to get chewed on by a giant fish?

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

Annie, I'm afraid I'm going to have that nightmare now.

Their eyes are what get me the most, though... Swimming... Watching... Angry... [Angst]

It's adorable if it's a little, colorful, tropical fish. Psychopathic if it was piranha. [Big Grin]

They have to remember not to celebrate their future anniversaries at sushi restaurants. [Wink]

My wife and I tried sushi for the first time last week at a place called Yamato's in Orem. It was pretty good.

Afraid of fish? [Confused]

That is cute.

Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :

What's the point in having fish? You can't even huggle them.

Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :

Well, some can, I'm sure, but you'd have to leave 'em out to dry for a while so you could get a good grip, and if you do that they'll...

Oh, huggle, not juggle. My bad.

That IS adorable!! I'm not much of a propose-on-V-day kinda person, but that is just such a unique way of doing it. Who was it, Hobbes? I haven't heard any of the engagement stories.

Posted by mothertree (Member # 4999) on :

Darn, I thought this was your subtle way of announcing your engagement. Though I realize that you don't live in the same state with anyone I would expect you to be announcing an engagement to. Not that I'm expecting it. Oh never mind.
