Walking into a marriage proposal...

Last weekend I ran into a marriage proposal and it was not very fun. The man had gotten down on his knees, and he was staring intently into her eyes. The gentle waterfall in the community pool was making a nice rippling sound and the stars were glittering in the sky. And then I jumped into the pool and ruined the moment. I don't even though if she had said yes to the big question, but I surmised that she had answered affirmatively because they were kissing passionately when I rose from the deep end of the pool.

Marriage proposals are exciting. It was the first marriage proposal I had ever encountered in my life. I didn't intentionally try to ruin their private moment, but I had just played tennis and had wanted to jump into my pool. I know that my splash was louder than normal because I had eaten pizza three days in a row and the crust had gone right to my rear end. I toweled off at the edge of the pool and congratulated the elated couple. They will always remember my whale-like splash as they look back to that special day when they decided to take the plunge into their new life. I was glad to be a part of it, and can't wait until I bump into another tender moment.
