No, but I can tell what the news is by just the look on her face. All right. Oh, I know what it is now. What happened? What happened? What are you talking about? Tell us what happened drastically in your life. What happened to rescue the last night in my life? Wouldn't you? Uh-oh. How about you, Wendy? No, no, me, but now I can I can kind of figure it out. I was like, man, there's, there's a little jam. Was it you? Not me. Well, me, Jeff, is it you? No, I warmed up, but I think we all did that. So that doesn't

2:06make sense. We thought out. Linda, why don't you go ahead, grab a mic, produce your lendle. I already. I got a new piece of jewelry last night. Oh, look at everything. That's all I got. Congratulations. Yeah. You cannot ever play poker by the way. I really did at it. I'd be a lot of people. No, you're standing over there as soon as this bird said the tease. I looked at your face and you were like glowing. Congratulations. She popped her hand on my desk this morning and I plopped my hand on top of her. He didn't even notice. And I didn't even notice. How did you like the ring? It's beautiful. Thank you. How did he ask you? He did a really good job. You guys get drunk and he just spit it out. Oh, yeah, all the time. Woman's in us, right? He did a really good job. Today's our three-year anniversary. And I kind of forgot. So last night. Are you like the dude in this relationship? And he's more like the chick? I'm just curious. Well, I don't think so, but normally we've

3:08never really made a big deal of anniversaries and celebrated them. So I remembered like towards the end of the evening, right before he asked, but totally forgot and had no idea what he was doing. But basically he he counts the first time we kissed as like the beginning of us being like boyfriend and girlfriend. Okay. So that's cute. Anyways, we dated forever. She is. We dated for a couple of weeks beforehand and he basically last night took like some memorable moments from like an experience as places we gone from or stuff we'd done from the first two weeks, I guess, to like put him into last night. So I was supposed to make dinner and then he goes, no, let's go out and I was like, well, I just bought all the groceries over to do this and I was like, okay, fine, whatever. So it takes us to I hop, which is totally not like romantic setting. I was in like sweatpants, hoodie, like I'm not. Is it what it's any springs? Yes, it is. That's a romantic one. It is so definitely good vibe there. And at this point, you're totally and completely clueless. Oh, yeah. I hop it's open. It's 10. We have to get dinner or whatever.

4:10So we do that and then we go back to his place and he just pops in a movie and he put it on him. He has a projector and so he angled it to like one of his rooms in his house has like vaulted kind of weird ceilings so you can lay on the floor on a bed and like kind of look at the movie up on the ceiling. And he put in the goonies, which I was like, oh, fun movie, whatever, totally not thinking, but that was one of the movies. Another romantic movie. It was the movie that we watched the night we kissed and the night we went to I hop, we just like the originally would be sat there for hours, hours, hours, and just talked. And so he took me to I hop and we watched the movie and I was not he was recreating that and I had no idea. I was like, oh, this is fun. And I was so tired because it was like a midnight at this point and I work here at five o'clock in the morning. Our job is not romantic. No, no, no. But so we were watching the movie and he kept panicking and had just getting up and like sitting back down and going and I was just like, okay, whatever. I'll just stay here and watch the movie. And in the end, he went out of the room and came back in and he got he has two cats and he brought one of them over and he's like, oh,

5:14you know, Jack wants to play with you. And I was like, I'm tired and he's tired. He just wants to sit so I padded his head for a little bit and didn't realize it. But he put the ring around Jack's collar. And so when I was padding him that I was like, oh, my gosh. And he asked me, really, marry me. Of course, I said yes. So you realize it one. Okay. He is a brave man putting a ring on a cat because that cat could randomly decide that it wants to be under the porch or outside. And you could never see that ring again. Seriously. He did like kind of lecture me before like the evening and started and was like, do not let the cats outside tonight. And I was, you know, wondering why he was, it's just really cold. Don't let him out. It's like, okay. But he remembered what you did the first night you kissed and recreated that. I mean, that deserves a ton of credit. I was totally oblivious. And I didn't think until it was almost midnight, but he kept looking over at the clock. And I was like, oh, yeah, tomorrow's our anniversary. And we watched goonies the night before. I was like, oh, that's kind of fun. Totally oblivious. And no point did you think, oh, my God, I think maybe a proposal is coming because I was in like sweatpants. That's so cute. Now that's going to

6:19rest on it was just totally us. And it was perfect for like us. Now you're a cool chick. So that's fine. But I guarantee you that there are women who are to this day pissed because their boyfriend proposed to them while they were in sweatpants or they didn't have their hair did or they were like, their nails were all chipped or they were had a cold or something like that. To this day, yeah, he couldn't even wait for me. He wouldn't even let me get dressed up. I mean, I knew we were only gonna eye-op, but he couldn't leave to me to put on something nice. Yeah, who's listening right now? That will come on the Voice Disguiser and say, yeah, I'm really disappointed by the way I was proposed to. It was just the wrong timing. It wasn't the way I had anticipated opinion at all. I think the ones I'm specifically looking for are the people where the guy should have somehow warned her. Did we do a list before where one of the charming things or one of the real things about it is if you are not all dressed up when you get proposed to? I remember a long time ago because the do's and don'ts and don't do it in public, don't it in front of the family. But one of the things that I don't know, I vaguely remember it's

7:20somehow being the fact that it's almost like this real like I love you for who you are kind of I think that everybody needs to get proposed to in a way that means something to them. I'm not the kind of person that needs to go to the fancy restaurant and needs to have the flowers and all that stuff. So it's comfortable for you to do it that way. And if I had been the one that was taken to the fancy restaurant, I would have known something was up. Every girl needs to listen to Lindo right now. Well, I'm curious because I wonder if the question that it guys are listening for right now is because for us, I think the ultimate proposal is a big one, but also one where you're completely surprised. To us, surprise is priority number one. And I would say most women aren't surprised. That's what I'm asking like as a as a woman, is it more important to be surprised or have it perfect? Have it just right and big and grand. I'd rather be surprised. I think you're surprised is better. And honestly, if you're in a relationship to where you know that you can marry just kind of on the horizon, you kind of know that he might ask you, but like the way he does it should be surprised you not to be where you're like, okay, we're at the store and then

8:22he proposes that the store at the joy counter. That's just not. So he would. Yeah, I'm more like Lindo wears symbolic and surprise. Yes. And had both. And had your boyfriend taken you out to a fancy dinner. You would have been completely tipped off. I was just dumb and just not paying attention. Hey, uh, good morning. You're on Q 100. Good morning. How are you doing? I love your show. Um, my proposal for my husband was pretty crappy. Um, I mean, I love my husband. He's wonderful. And I love my mother-in-law, but she didn't want to get out of the car. She wanted to see him propose to me. I was in turning at the public defender's office and his plan was to get out the car. You know, going the middle of the courthouse, get down on one knee and propose to me. But the way that he ended up proposing to me was, you know, we're riding in the car and everything after he picks me up. His mom's driving. I'm sitting in the back seat behind her. Oh, no, talking to her. And then he turns around and says, by the way, will you marry me? Oh, no. He panicked.

9:22I was so upset. I mean, I love him so much. And I was happy. They proposed to me. But to this day, we've been married for three years. And I still rag him about that. I told me he could do a do-over because we're supposed to renew our vows because his mom took over the wedding, too. She even tried to pick up my wedding dress. Oh, geez. Oh, no. You know what I could have told you that was coming the day that if you if you find me, you back then, you told me how he proposed. I could tell you you'd have mother-in-law problems. Yeah. No kidding. Good morning, Amber. Here wants to be on the voice disclosure. Go ahead. Good morning. Good morning. Oh, good morning. On Wednesday, actually, proposed to me hardly at all. We had, he had this one day that he had done this whole huge, you know, proposal day with like the scavenger hunt and the romance and the fun and all of this. And at some point during the day, it fell apart. So this day, I don't know exactly why he decided he couldn't do it. And just kind of like cobb-holding off. And, you know, by that point, I knew what he was doing. So for the next couple of days, I'm thinking it's coming,

10:23it's coming. He's going to make that for. He's going to do something just awesome. Well, it turns out instead. On a Tuesday, I was sitting on my couch with my hair on a towel, watching TV. And I was in a really crappy mood and said, you know, I'm going to watch if I'm going to bed. And so he said, oh, hey, can you do me a favor before you go to bed? And I was like, what? And he said, can you just see if this fit and pulls the ring out? And I was like, really? Really? Is that the way it's going to be done? Right now, this is it. And that was my proposal. And dude, you get one crack at this. One crack at a, be careful with it. Good morning, Lisa. You're on Q100. Hi. Hey there. Hi, you're on the voice, this guy's. Okay, good. I was proposed to naked after sex. So it's not even a story that I could tell anyone. What did you do? Didn't bed? Yeah. Literally, you're laying there on the bed. And he says, hold on,

11:26one second. You rolled over? No, he got down on one knee. But I'm like, are you here? I'm like, I've never told anyone how we got engaged. You have to make up the stuff. Congratulations to you. Congratulations, Linda. Can you say the date yet? I imagine it's next week sometimes. No, we kind of were just, you know, it's kind of exciting. You're just kind of like fast and gloved. Enjoy it. And it's fun telling people and seeing their reactions or hearing them. I had to call my parents last night because I didn't want them to find out this morning, like, at work. So they were half asleep and like, oh, yeah, that's exciting. And they might have gotten a dream because like, did you really get engaged last night? So Linda and her boyfriend are both Mormon. So is the ceremony or is the wedding different in the Mormon religion? In the sense that we would get married in one of the Latter-day Saint temples. And the people that can go inside the temple are those that are members of the church. So like, you find

12:26invited y'all. You guys wouldn't be able to see me get married, but you'd be able to come party at the reception afterwards. That's what we all want to do anyway. Exactly. I love them more than they are really. That is the way to do it right there. Don't bring them young. Hey, the bird show.
