6 weeks after he asked me to marry him....(no ring)...he got down on one knee and formally asked me to marry him and presented me with the pear shape diamond solitaire ring that I wanted. Mind you....I was 44 and he was 54. My first marriage and his third...(he lost his first love to a terminal illness at 30). Still going strong eleven years later! He is more "romantic" than I am, in fact.
