What was your marriage proposal like?

We were going to sleep and he reminded me of the date: February 29, 1996; the only date that was appropriate for a woman to ask a man to marry her.   I was quiet for a while…debating.  Finally, I decided to ask him.   He didn’t respond, instead he went to sleep.  It was humiliating.  We went to work the next day and when he got home he walked in, somewhat smug, and asked, “Did you ask me to marry you last night?”  My response, “That invitation was only good until midnight.”
