Will You Marry Me

He was a widower and she a widow. They had known each other for a number of years being secondary school classmates and having attended class reunions in the past without fail.

This 60th anniversary of their class, they had a wonderful evening, their spirits high. The widower throwing admiring glances across the table. The widow smiling coyly back at him.

Finally, he picked up the courage to ask her, "Will you marry me?"

After about six seconds of careful consideration, she answered, "Yes,... yes I will!"


He remembered asking the question but for the life of him he could not recall her response. With fear and trepidation, he picked up the phone and called her. First, he explained that he couldn't remember as well as he used to. Then he reviewed the past evening.


"Why you silly man, I said 'Yes. Yes, I will.' And I meant it with all my heart."
