How he asked…
For Delia the fourth of July weekend is like Christmas, perhaps it is her favorite holiday. Knowing this, Sam decided he would trek for the extended weekend and spend some time with her and the family. After a long weekend filled with fireworks, family BBQ’s, a parade, and lots of hot weather, Tuesday evening rolled around and Sam and Delia went out for Pizza. Sam brought his camera along and after pizza they went out to the park in Ridgewood to take some pictures. Since you can only take so many different posses they decided to walk down to Starbucks and get some drinks. Sitting outside enjoying the nice HOT weather they talked about how great the weekend had been and how sad they were that Sam was going home soon. Walking back toward the park, Delia asked if they could go to the train tracks and take some pictures. Sam said “Sure, but lets stop in the park for a couple more pictures there.” Though the sun was setting, Delia decided a few more pictures in the park wouldn’t hurt. Setting up the tripod once again, Sam began to ask Delia when she thought he should propose. “Tomorrow!” she exclaimed. Sam gave her a look and asked what would happen if he waited till the end of the month. To this Delia showed her dismay and pouted at the camera as Sam snapped another shot. “But that is so far away and it will leave me no time to plan.” Delia continued to pout. “Well,” Sam said “what if I proposed right now?” Delia laughed and mocked him. As Sam got down on his knee Delia began to panic. Speechless she began to show her disbelief. Her eyes welled up with tears as Sam asked, “Delia… will you marry me?” Fumbling for the ring in his pocket Delia still doubted that this moment she had waited for was finally here. Placing the ring on her finger she stumbled over her words still trying to put together what was happening. After a moment to remove all doubt she confirmed to Sam, “Yes of course I’ll marry you.” They sat on the bench for a while longer talking and letting the moment set in. Delia was so surprised her face gleamed with excitement… and that is how he asked.
