UPDATE for Sunday, June 7th, 2015. I am as of this day betrothed to a lovely lady journalist with sharp wit and who loves to engage me in debates about 20th century music or on why Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo is clearly the superior film of the breakdance genre.
The proposal took place in the Hamilton House this afternoon - a 19th century mansion, (her favorite spot in the USA) during our visit to Genesee Country Village for her birthday. Of course we both attended in full period regalia and were asked by the staff if we'd like to join their team of volunteers.
It was a wonderful weekend getaway, and the staff were so emotionally moved by the proposal that they escorted us beyond the ropes up the spiral stairs to the 3rd story of the estate where we had a magnificent view of the entire village.
And not to be exempt from my musical duties, I assembled a birthday playlist for the drive home that had her dialing it up to eleven and singing at the top of her lungs in delight.
A good time had by all. Cheers everyone!
