The Young Man Was (somehow) Raised Right
Despite being a lab experiment of young parents, it appears our oldest son turned out to be quite the well-adjusted, romantic man. You may have heard that last week he and his girlfriend went to Disney World where A's intention was to propose marriage. He did...
...in the rose garden of Cinderella's Castle.
She, of course, said "yes". How could she refuse a handsome prince on one knee waiting to slide a shimmering diamond upon her finger in the rose garden of Cinderella's Castle.
They are happy. We (parents) are happy.
All I have to add is he way out did his dad's proposal to me.
Congratulations!
