Yesiversary

4 years ago today, My Wife Said Yes, She Absolutely Would, right here, by the phone, on the right, at a train station, in London, from where I'd called her, in D.C., six months previously, and started a whirlwind cross-continent tri-decade-culminating romance.
.
More accurately, she said, if you're being serious, for once, and you'd better be, you hairy oft-joking insensitive bastard who just gave me a broken potato chip as a substitute for a diamond ring and better not break my gigantic heart and you promise PROMISE to give me a beautiful baby boy then yes okay sure I'd love to organize your files with mine if we get rid of your papasan chair.

I was being serious, for once.
