Awww, what a sweet story, Laura! Here's mine: Clement and I had been together for 7 years, knew we would get married, but both wanted to finish college first. He had been studying abroad in Taiwan for 6 months; I traveled with my brother to meet him in Bali for vacation. We all went to a hole in the wall Chinese place for dinner, but my brother kept trying to leave us, which confused me (well, now I know why...he was trying to give us some privacy!) Back in our room, Clement randomly pulled out a fortune cookie and asked if I wanted dessert - bizzare, because I hadn't seen any on the table at the restaurant (because they were invented in the US - they don't have them in Asia). I cracked the cookie open and the ring was inside with a fortune: "Clementious says 'Will you marry me?'" He had gotten his brother to send a box of cookies to Taiwan so that he could practice getting the ring inside without breaking it. Best month old cookie I ever tasted. wink LOL Still don't understand how literally everyone knew he was going to do it except me!
