It was 38-years ago on St. Patrick’s Day that I gave the prettiest girl I know a diamond ring and asked her to share my life.
The romantic devil I was in my younger life, I had picked St. Patrick Day for the several reasons.
Sara’s maiden name is Reid, she has red hair and a demeanor to match an Irish reputation. My favorite color is green.
Come on! If you have to find a reasons to give a girl a ring, I guess you should not be doing it. But then again, if you are hopelessly in love, any reason is a good excuse.
