Have you ever had a fairy-tale romance?

A nurse was in line ahead of me at a hot dog stand at 1 AM. We chatted a bit, then took our hot dogs out to the picnic table and ate and talked. I asked her if she wanted to go for a drink. She said that she would love to but never went into bars in her nurses uniform and suggested Sat. nite. I picked her up around 7 PM. We had so much fun that I didn't take her home until 11 PM Sun nite. We started dating hot and heavy, 6-7 times per week. She proposed to me after dating 5 weeks. We got married 2 days later, on North Ave. Beach in Chicago, at sunrise, with our friends, flowers, and a jug of Ripple wine. Wedding breakfast at Wafflehouse where they brought out a basketball sized cinnamon roll covered with white icing and a sparkler in the top. That was almost 44 yrs ago. We are still together, 2 kids, 4 grandkids, still love each other dearly, and she still makes me laugh.
