So, on Fri 25 Feb 2011, David and I ate dinner at our favorite Chinese restaurant, Mongolian Bar-B-Q. We had a nice dinner, and then dessert. I grabbed two fortune cookies in the plastic wrapping, and David says, “Oh, no, I saw fresh ones. I’ll go get them.” He brings back two, not in wrappers, looking exactly the same. So we opened them, and this is what mine said, “How long has it been? Almost nine years. It’s time you two got married!” ;o) I looked at it and read it at least five times while he was reading his that said, “If you microwave the fortune cookie for 15 seconds, you can change your fortune.” And I just couldn’t figure out what he was blabbing about….showed him mine…and said, “Is this for real? Are you asking me to marry you?” Of COURSE I said yes! I haven’t laughed so hard in so long…if I didn’t laugh, I was going to cry! Which I did, too.We are going to Boston (just because we want to go to Boston)…very soon.
So…how he did this magical event….he bought cookies at a local Chinese grocery. He heated them in the microwave for 15 seconds (hence, his ‘fortune’) and inserted MY fortune. It couldn’t have been any better, and it was just so ‘David!” He put these in his shirt pockets and had them there the entire time at the restaurant!
So, in short, we both have agreed to say YES!!

Lori– Congratulations from me, Sam and Alex!!!
We all think the fortune cookie idea was fantastic. What a great story that you will always remember! Are you getting married on April Fools Day? What an “unforgettable” anniversary.:-)
We are so happy for you!!!

I’m so happy for you! The first wedding I took Olivia to that she could “remember” last spring she thought the bride was Snow White…and had to have her picture taken with her; which made my husband’s cousin “Prince Charming” (He loved that!). So….don’t be surprised if Olivia mentions that you are “Snow White…Cinderella…or something along those lines”. Best wishes to you both.
