Lisa and I had been dating over 4 years and she was like part of my family. Everyone loved her and was thrilled when I said that I was going to pop the question at Christmas. Our family tradition was to open our gifts on Christmas Eve with Lisa and her parents here with us. My mother and I were talking and we came up with an idea on how I would propose. Mom knits beautiful sweaters. She said she would knit me one that said ‘Will You Marry Me Lisa?’ on the back.
On Christmas Eve, we had opened most of the gifts when my mom gave me my gift from her. It was the special sweater, which I put on and then turned around. Lisa read the back of the sweater and started to cry. After getting down on one knee, she made me the luckiest man in the world by saying yes.
