Once upon a time, there lived, in the middle of nowhere, a young lady with no aspirations for marriage, her name was Allie. One day, at institute, she met the nicest, most attractive guy she'd ever encountered, his name was Chris. After talking for awhile, he asked for her number. Throughout the next week, they had the opportunity to talk a few nights, staying up as late as one or two in the morning. Soon, she accepted an offer of a date, not thinking it would lead to anything more than - well - just a date. Little did she know what it would actually lead to another date, which lead to another, and another, and another, and that lead to hanging out on Halloween, going to Thanksgiving with his family, and spending Christmas together. They even got a fake tattoo together. Life was pretty fantastic whenever Allie was with Chris, doing something adventurous.
One day, Chris asked Allie if she could be to his house on a Friday afternoon by 5:00 PM. When she said yes, he told her to dress warm, and that she would be home by Sunday night. Any other details, he refused to tell her - despite her many protests. When that Friday night came, Chris and Allie arrived at the Albuquerque International Airport, with Allie still not knowing where they were going. As they approached security, Chris gave Allie her ticket to New York City. After a red eye flight, public buses, and the subway, they arrived in Manhattan, where he took her to the top of the Empire State Building. It was here that he leaned close to her ear, and said, "Do you want to be embarrassed?" To the shake of her head, he then said, "Allie, will you marry me?" She, of course, said yes - how could she refuse after such a proposal?? Besides the Empire State building, the couple explored the subway system, rode the ferry past The Statue of Liberty, enjoyed New York Cheesecake, pizza, and street vendor food, and nearly got lost in Central Park.
