The Proposal
s a professional mechanic, I have gotten used to pretty girls batting their eyes at me in hopes of coercing me into performing free car repairs. Heidi was a different story. In fact the first time I met her, she completely shut me down. After being introduced through mutual friends, I mustered up the courage to try and talk to her. She, in turn, did everything she could to let me know how uninterested she was. Ironically, not too long after that, the little orange “Check Engine” light on her dashboard illuminated. For me, it was a little beacon of hope. I ended up spending 6 hours working on her car one Saturday afternoon. She sat there watching me work the entire time. No one had ever done that before. We made some awkward small talk, enjoyed some music, and often endured in silence. I remember those as 6 of the happiest hours of my life. When she finally left I told myself, “I’m gonna marry that girl.” At this point she had a very bewildered look on her face. The box was too large to be a ring box, but it was small enough to be intriguing. Inside was a ring sizing tool (a key chain with little plastic rings in

each size). I told her that I was going to be starting the process of getting her a ring, and wanted to make sure that I knew the right size. She was still a bit confused, but began to sort through the different sizes to find hers (a 5.5). To her dismay, there was no size 5.5 ring on the key chain! I pretended to be a bit confused before reaching deeper into the basket and pulling out a much smaller red Kevin Main Jewelry box. I got down on one knee, untied the bow on top of the box and said “Why don’t you try this one on?” I then opened the box and showed her the sapphire and diamond ring I had spent months designing. I said,”Heidi Arlene Smith, John 15 verse 13 says ‘Greater love has no one than this: that a man would lay down his life for his friend.’ You’re my best friend. I know I am a pain in the butt sometimes, but if you will let me, I promise to lay down my life for you every day, for the rest of my life. I love you, will you marry me?” Heidi was in shock for a moment, and then with tears sliding down her cheeks, and a look of suprised joy on her face she said, “Is it real?”. A few soft words, hugs, and kisses later, I looked down at her and asked, “You did say yes, right?”
