On December 23, 1997, after knowing each other a little less than 4 months, Mark took me to a nice dinner in downtown Bethlehem, all lit up for Christmas, and proposed. I can still picture him standing in front of me on the bridge downtown, smiling ear to ear and blushing as he reached into his inside coat pocket and took out the most beautiful piece of jewelry I have ever seen in my life. I was totally in love then. And, I’m totally in love today.
