"By now you know how I got engaged (and how I almost got engaged), so I have several ways to fill in this blank. Based on all the times I messed up Paul&amp;amp;#8217;s proposal, I guess I&amp;amp;#8217;d have to finish that sentence with &amp;amp;#8220;at the Eiffel Tower&amp;amp;#8221; (although I&amp;amp;#8217;d probably be okay with it now that Tom and Katie&amp;amp;#8217;s engagement is many years behind us), &amp;amp;#8220;on a carriage ride,&amp;amp;#8221; and &amp;amp;#8220;in the pouring rain.&amp;amp;#8221; I also absolutely wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t have wanted Paul to propose while&amp;amp;#133; &amp;amp;#8220;We&amp;amp;#8217;re having sex.&amp;amp;#8221; I wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t know if he&amp;amp;#8217;s just enjoying himself or if he&amp;amp;#8217;s serious! And what an awkward story to tell people. &amp;amp;#8220;Recovering from oral surgery.&amp;amp;#8221; I know someone who got proposed to right after getting dental work. She seemed to be happy with it, but I don&amp;amp;#8217;t think I would be. &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;amp;#8217;m in the bathroom.&amp;amp;#8221; Just wrong. &amp;amp;#8220;We&amp;amp;#8217;re fighting.&amp;amp;#8221; Even though I&amp;amp;#8217;m sure the argument would end right there and then, I&amp;amp;#8217;d be sad whenever I thought about how angry I was seconds before he popped the question. &amp;amp;#8220;We&amp;amp;#8217;re on a rollercoaster.&amp;amp;#8221; A few reasons for this: I hate scary rides, he wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t be able to get down on one knee (without risking serious injury), and I&amp;amp;#8217;d probably drop the ring. &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;amp;#8217;m eating.&amp;amp;#8221; I was never big on the ring-in-your-meal thing, and I&amp;amp;#8217;d probably choke when he asked me to marry him.
