"Will you marry me?"
« on: February 19, 2006, 06:09:43 PM »
I met my wife on the internet, but proposed to her in The Association For Retarded Citizens of Tempe Thrift Store with a $.25 thrift bought ring.
It was one of those "free" diamond rings they give you for some mail away or time share deal. The ring was of course adjustable, had the thinnest layer of one karat gold that it could possibly have, and the diamond was almost microscopic. My fiancee wore it from then on, for about a year until the diamond fell out.
I replaced the ring with my grandmother's engagement ring provided by Mom.
We've been married for 3 years and owe our engagment to a thrift shop. 8)

Congrats on you finding the right lady for you.  And yes ARC is a wonderful organization.  I have a daughter who is mildly so. She is a blessing.  I am new here hope to make some new friends here too. I love Thrift Stores.

What sweet story!  Your spouse cannot complain that you shop to much in thrifts.  She knew beforehand.
