So Excited They Could Puke
Boyfriend/Girlfriend, Car, Health & Body, Proposal, Silly, USA | Romantic | January 16, 2019
(I am on my second day of severe food poisoning when my girlfriend and I decide we absolutely have to go to the urgent care to get me feeling better, knowing I have to get at least an IV. Two weeks ago, I purchased an engagement ring and had been planning on proposing the day I got sick. Being overly romantic is something I have never been accused of, and this time is no different. We are halfway down the highway to urgent care when I painfully shift towards her in the car and pull out the ring. She takes one look at it and nearly drives us into the wall in shock… and holds out her right hand.)
Me: “No… I actually do mean the other hand…”
(She starts crying and hands me her left hand, all the while trying not to crash, and I flop back down weakly into the seat.)
Me: “So… is that a yes?”
(Luckily, yes, it was a yes. When we tell the story of how we got engaged, we like to say it was only because I didn’t think I was going to live long enough to “have to actually get married”!)
