After a round of bowling in our favorite bowling alley (where we had our first date four and a half months earlier) Jamie took me upstairs to play some video games. After a few minutes and 5 quarters, Jamie slapped a twenty in my hand and asked me to go back downstairs to ask the girl at the front desk to rent another lane for some more bowling. I went but the girl said it would be an hour wait. By the time I got back upstairs, Jamie was nowhere to be found! I walked a few feet and came to the door of a little private lounge on a balcony overlooking the bowling lanes below. Jamie had changed into a tuxedo, which he had hidden in his bowling bag. He was down on one knee with a scrabble board in his hands which said “will you marry me Sara”. He asked me aloud when I finally managed a “yes” through my discomposed tears. He then placed the most beautiful ring on my left finger and a kiss that I’ll never forget.
