Well, actually, after I'd been hanging out with her for about three or four years I said, in my romantic way, "You'll have to let me know when you want to get married." And she said, "Fine, how about this Fall?" and I said, "Okay, how about October 11?" and she was all for it except that her mother nixed it, saying that I was not going to marry her on her birthday and only buy one present -- so we decided on October 6. And she called my mother with the news and said, "We're going to get married in October" and my mother paused and then yelled to my sister, "Martha! Pat's pregnant!"

She wasn't and we did and we've been living together ever since.
