And not because of the romantic horse-and-carriage ride in downtown Annapolis, either.
At the end of the couple's ride, the carriage pulled up to a crowd of family and friends.
Cobb helped his beloved down from the carriage, got down on one knee, and asked her to be his wife.

"But next time, tuck in your shirt and don't wear jeans. Other than that, well played."

Just a little proposal advice. Yes, you have it almost all right. Horses, Annapolis, friends, family. You were on the right track. And she did say yes, right?

First of all...congrats to both of you.
My husband and I also meet at what was called A&P back then in 1978. He worked in produce and I was a cashier. We've been together ever since.
