My daughter and I discussed this unique way to ask for someone's hand in marriage...
DAUGHTER: "What if the skywriter wrote, 'MARRY ME, PATTY', and there were like ten 'Patty's' that saw the message; and maybe three of the 'Patty's' were in a serious relationship, and each thought they were the one being asked...how awkward would that be?"
ME: "That's an interesting question. But wouldn't the one doing the asking be right there on bended knee with ring outstretched when it happened?"
DAUGHTER: "But what if one of the other Patty's was with her boyfriend waiting for him to pull out a ring and he's standing there looking stupid and pulls lint out of his pocket all apologetic and pitiful?"
ME: "Okay, you have a point...that would be quite awkward. Hopefully the skywriter will spell out the last name, too."
DAUGHTER: "Not if they charge by the letter! He better spend that money on the diamond."
ME: "That's my girl!"
This is making me rethink my whole idea about being proposed to via sky-writing NOTE TO SELF: Cancel airplane
