As I was leaving work one night my friend Pooch called and said she was setting me up with one of her new coworkers. I tried desperately to get out of yet another setup but Pooch would not allow it. She insisted I friend him on Facebook and then he'd call to set up a date. We went out for dinner and ended up shutting down the restaurant. It was the only blind date that ever turned out well!

We went out to dinner to celebrate Ben's promotion. Little did I know that he'd played hooky from work to go ring shopping that morning. He asked me to marry him over chocolate fondue and champagne. Our friend Pooch had brought him the ring (she met him in the men's restroom so I wouldn't see her) and stayed to take pictures...in a wig...so as to not ruin the surprise.
