I never proposed. As time went on, discussion about the future crept into conversations, and we jointly decided we wanted to get married. I never had to ask her as such, because there was no need to officially get on one knee and propose.
I didn’t either. We just arrived at the unspoken point where we both knew it was the next logical thing. In August it will be 55 years....and a pretty good ride for both of us. Both retired, a summer home in Ocean City, MD. What’s not to like? Praise Jesus!
Likewise my parents. They just kind of ... agreed ... one day while walking together.
