It was our two-year anniversary.  I was wearing a new dress, one that cost more than my last paycheck, and it took over two hours to do my hair and makeup.  I've been waiting all month for this.  He smiled at me from across the table, a twinkle in his eye.  It's happening today.

It was a candlelit dinner under the stars.  The wine was excellent, the entrees delicious, the atmosphere so romantic.  Everything was perfect.  After dessert, he reached out and held my hand, and he told me I looked beautiful.  "I love you," he said.  I told him I loved him too.  He slid the black box across the table and looked nervous.  My heart pounded against my chest as I slowly opened it.

Unsexiest surprise ever.
