She proposed to me on Feb 29th, took me mildy by suprise, but hey ho, 16 years later we are still happily married.
i didn't get a no from mrs starry but i did what i thought was the honourable thing (flew for a day to ireland) and went to her dad and asked him if i could marry his daughter first and he told me he didn't think i was right, miserable irish fecker.
we went to ingleton and i asked her to marry me there, she said yes right away. that was about thirteen years ago i think.
about seven years after we got married her dad told me he had been wrong in thinking i wasn't right. he is such a grumpy sod.
