Six months, this thing was in the works. At first it was just to propose on TFN, then some Star Wars-ish ideas presented themselves. My best friend since kindergarten suggested doing it in costume, and the first idea was to borrow some Stormtrooper armor, hold the helmet in one and the ring in the other (Lisa's "Knight in shining armor" so to speak ;-) Then it was going to be a full Jedi outfit, but some complications arose that kept that from happening.
In the end, it's just me, with the most well-known of Star Wars gimmicks, doing a proposal that was from the heart. Couldn't have been better... and I'm SO overjoyed that she said yes! :-)
Congratulations to both of you!
BTW, please have her register as "Lisa Sidious".
Oh, theforce.net is a great site.
Congratulations. I thought that the best way to propose is just to compose a Shakespearean-style sonnet. I guess I was wrong.
