It was Friday night before Valentines Day on Sunday.  We had planned on going out to dinner on Sunday, but we were waffling on whether to go out Saturday or Friday instead.  Chantal must have changed her mind 4 times on the issue, and she had NO IDEA Jim was going to propose.  Jim wanted it to be a surprise, so he lackadaisically let Chantal plan the dinner.  

Jim had enough of the waffling!  Chantal finally decided to put it off until Saturday night... but Jim was having none of it.  "We HAVE to go out tonight babe," he said "it's a CELEBRATION!!".  "Celebration for what?"  Chantal said.  However, rather than staying sitting on the couch, she got up and started walking towards Jim.  Thus, instead of romantically proposing on the couch, he ended up on one knee... right next to the trash can.

"Will you marry me" Jim proposed.  Chantal, almost irritated looking, replied "Is this serious... is this a joke?".  "No!" Jim exclaimed still holding out the ring... "That would be a really expensive joke" he awkwardly and nervously choked out.  Chantal began to cry, and finally held out her hand.  Jim slid the ring on her finger and kissed her, still super nervously... "Could you please say 'yes' now babe?" he asked.  "Yes Babe, of course YES!!"
