Melissa is from Colombia and speaks fluent Spanish. Since we began dating, I’ve been trying to slowly learn the language. At dinner, we always play this game where I say something to her in Spanish to see if she understands, and she repeats it to me in English. At the beginning of our meal on July 28, 2013, I asked her in Spanish if she liked the food. She responded with, ‘Do you like the food?’ This continued sporadically throughout our meal, and I made sure to ask her strange questions to keep her laughing and not suspecting my final question. When the meal was almost over, I asked, ‘Quieres casarte conmingo?’ She laughed and said, ‘Will you marry me?’ I smiled, and repeated myself. She dropped her fork and looked at me. I presented her with the ring and she accepted through tears.
