	Details, defronts, desides -- what a package!  O.K., here's the scoop.
Her name is Dorothy.  Wizard of Oz fans can do what they want with that.  
Back when we were first dating, I was in a "competition" of sorts for her 
favors, which, due to my remarkable charms and suavity, I won.  However,
still in the competition, I asked what I could to "influence her opinion
favorably toward me."  She said "oh, just be yourself, take it as it happens,
etc."  Howe'er, when she went home and told her sister my statement, her sister
said, "That was dumb!  You should have told him -- diamonds, furs and cash!"
	Since this has been in the planning stages quite awhile, it was 
hard to make it a big surprise.  Anyways, after a dinner in Chowning's Tavern
in Colonial Williamsburg complete with a strolling violinist playing colonial
ditties, candlelight, etc., I pulled out two penny rolls (she's going what?  
and I explained it was leftovers from buying my house), rabbit fur earmuffs,
and fur-lined leather gloves.  She put on the gloves and found a note that
said "These are kind of tight.  I wonder how they're going to fit over the
ring?".  She naturally says "What ring?"  At which point I unveil the rock
and say "This ring!"  GASP!  I then explain that I'm taking no chances with
the answer to the next question, as I have now offered a diamond, furs, and
cash.  Then I ask her to marry me, and she turned me down flat, and ran
away with the ring.
	NOT!
	She said yes.  Considering we've already booked the church (April
3rd), that was a relief.  Spent the next half-hour gazing on the ring.
	The funny thing was, there was this one single guy there, reading
a book and facing us.  I had to order dessert and eat it slowly -- I didn't
want to make him feel bad!  I am SUCH a nice guy.
	We then spent about an hour smooching, looking forward to the 
honeymoon, and lamenting the fact that we're so disgustingly moral.

	Good idea!  Macy, Macy's, where HAVE I heard that name before?

	"Dot" is out.  HATED IT!  Doefy isn't bad.
Is it the women who's the fiance and the man who's the fiancee, or the 
other way around?
