Erin was sure after the first date that Sam was special. After about a month of dating, she decided to make sure Sam felt the same way and asked, "Do you want to be my boyfriend, or what?" Sam, slightly concerned about the meaning of the "or what," agreed. After almost three years of dating, on the day after Christmas, Sam planned a cocktail hour at sunset because he couldn't wait another day to ask Erin, "Do you want to be my wife, or what?" She, of course, said, "Yes."
