This must be a first !?

Stephan appeared and asked to interrupt the proceedings for a special announcment. He picked up the microphone and asked a woman who's name I didn't catch to come forward. Sure enough, a tall young blonde woman came to the front, looking nonplussed. After a brief pause, a young man wearing a suit came loping down the aisle and in a moment he was facing the woman and making a declaration of some kind in Dutch. She looked pretty nervous and, not knowing where this was all going, we started feeling a bit anxious too. Until he dropped to one knee and assumed the international marriage proposal position. Then we really started to worry, because here was a situation that could only end really well, or really badly. The woman was crying (uh oh) and smiling (whew!), and then nodding her head, and to everyone's relief, we had a happy betrothal. The couple bounded up the steps to a nice round of applause, and Richard and I tried to remember what it was we'd been talking about. |
