I'M ENGAGED!!!

Original post by Anniegrl

Well I think I've been the only person posting to the boards without actually being engaged, but that all changed yesterday. Clay totally took me by surprise when he proposed to me at the Spy Museum here in Washington, D.C. I was so overcome with emotion that I could barely move let alone speak. The way he did it was really cool too - right before we left the museum, they had one of those scrolling marquis signs, like you see in Times Square that reports world events (except the one in the museum was much smaller!) There was a message posted on it and he's like 'hey look, what does that say?' Then I started reading it as it scrolled across..

He turned me around, and behind me in a display case set up to look like a museum exhibit was my ring! Then he got down on one knee in front of a crowd of people and asked me to marry him. I tearfully said yes!

So now I'm officially a LIW bride-to-be!!!

Thanks everyone!!! This is my face right now. I can't stop smiling!!

Oh, I just realized I left out part of the story - I didn't say what the message was on that sign. I can't remember word for word what it said, but it was something like, 'Clayton Cobb, former military cryptanalyst, asks Ann Modica to marry him. And the answer is??????'
That's when he showed me the ring and got down on his knee
