Wonderful

Ding Dong
Hi, I'm wondering if you have any bottles that you'd like to donate?
Why? Who are you with?
Well, I'm not really with anyone - you see, I'm a student right now and I've met this girl. I'd like to ask her to marry me, but I don't have enough money to buy her a ring - so I'm seeing if people have any extra bottles that they'd like to donate so I can save some more to buy her a ring.

True story - When Michael and I were dating and he was a student still at Augustana, he didn't have enough money to feed himself barely - not to mention buy a ring so he could ask me to be his wife. So one day he went door to door asking people if he could collect some of their bottles so he could get some more money to save up to buy me a beautiful engagement ring.
What an incredible man - and that's one of hundreds of stories I have of my loving, thoughtful husband.

Michael - I couldn't have asked for anyone better for me than you!
