[quote=Anonymous]Yep -- I'm good friends with a woman who accepted said marriage proposal. From what we've learned -- her DH was 37, wanted to settle down, 2 married brothers with lots of nieces/nephews and starting to feel a bit like it'd never happen for him. Happens to be in Philadelphia to run a marathon. Thru the race weekend he kept seeing a younger woman (25) at hotel bar -- full of personality, having a great time, all smiles with lots of friends. He works up the nerve to give her his number.

She calls, they date for a few months, take a few vacations together. As someone said above, she's not an over planner at all -- she's just taken by this handsome guy whose interested in her. Doesn't hurt that he's a New Yorker who is a partner in a small company, owns his own apartment, their first vacation together is Hawaii etc. And within 6 mos they're engaged. They didn't get married for like a yr or 2 bc her mom and dad were kind of terrified that this 37 yr old stranger just wanted to marry her tomorrow so they slowed it down, spent time with both families, realized everyone was normal/good families etc. And happily ever after. Easily the happiest couple I know -- though a lot of that has to do with their fun, easy going, don't take life so seriously personality -- and it doesn't hurt that they can live in NYC with no money worries.[/quote]
