Yes, to the uninitiated it's just a bench... but 3 Januarys ago I asked TVGal to marry me on this bench as we were the only people in the Gardens for the Blossoms of Light that night thanks to a very kind Security Guard who let us in and lit the whole place up for us.. my plan was to do it the last day of the Lights but snow that morning closed the Gardens.. after hearing my story on the phone he agreed to be the "ticket taker" that night... TVGal's nieces came by in two minute intervals.. the first spreading rose petals in the snow, the second bringing a basket of cocoa and champagne, the third a basket with the ring... a very nice night...
So, not really "just a bench".. thanks for indulging me...

Dr. Meredith Grey: There comes a point in your life when you're officially an adult. Suddenly you're old enough to vote, to drink and engage in other adult activities. Suddenly people expect you to be responsible, serious, a grown up. We get taller, We get older. But do we ever really grow up?... In some ways we grow up. We have families. We get married. Divorced. But for the most part, we still have the same problems that we had when we were 15. No matter how much we grow taller, grow older, we are still forever stumbling. Forever wondering. Forever young....
