Read your post of your engagement and it struck me that your husband asked your father's permission to ask your hand in marriage. Both of our son-in-laws did this, and our son did so before he proposed also. There's something very genteel in it, knowing they are asking for our most precious possession, a daughter, that they areGirl Raised in the Southhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589779898471579630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29822720.post-1156128879869937442006-08-20T20:54:00.000-06:002006-08-20T20:54:00.000-06:00What a wonderful story and so very romantic!

It is a shame that the skating rink with its wonderful memories should become a thing of the past. <BR/><BR/>It has been awhile since I skated at a rink.
