We decided to spend fourth of July weekend in Los Angeles and check out Black Pride. On Sunday the fourth, we were at a friend's bbq. Rolanda brought me to the backyard/patio to talk to me and starts rambling on and on about how she looked into the reason why people get on one knee when they are proposing, since we were wondering about the significance of it earlier. Anxious to get back inside to socialize and oblivious to her nervous demeanor, I urged her to rap it up!! She kept talking, and then claimed she had an itch in her buttocks but really she is reaching in her back pocket to pull out the ring! She says bending on one knee is ceremonial, skips a few sentences in her nervousness, gets on one knee and says "Do you want to?".. In shock and now aware, I say yes!
Later on, while back at the hotel, Rolanda proposes again, this time with all of the words that she nervously left out the first time. This time with a full "will you marry me?" at the end. Both proposals were priceless :-)
