As some of you guys may know, I've been planning on proposing to my girlfriend for awhile. Well, Monday night, I popped the question (and she said yes.)
There's a Celtics-related twist here, so bear with me. The original plan was to have a nice dinner (Top of the Hub), followed by us going over to Faneuil Hall and getting a horse-drawn carriage. Small problem: apparently, on week nights during the winter (or at least this week), the horses / buggies aren't running. Oops. (I thought I'd verified that, but oh well.)
So, I was stuck, since I really hadn't thought of a fallback plan. So, I went and sat next to Red (the statute), and thought about how to go about it. There were all kinds of trees lined with white Christmas lights, with a huge Christmas tree in the middle. I decided to ask her there. That's right: I proposed maybe 10 feet from the Red statute.
(For those who don't know what the statute looks like, here's a generic picture):
Hopefully, Red blesses this marriage. I can't go wrong, right?
