I had been dating Marie at college for the fall semester. We went home to Duchesne for Christmas and I had decided to propose during the break. I was also working for Dad at the schools delivering groceries. I went to Roosevelt one day and picked up some roses for Marie and when I got off work I went to her home to give them to her and in reality was testing the waters for what I wanted to do later in the evening. We had planned to go with Ann and a couple of her college friends out caroling. We had taken them sleigh riding earlier in the weekend and now it was time to go caroling. So we went caroling and when we got back to Marie's home I was stuck with a small problem of getting Marsha away while I popped the question. Finally I got her to go in and look at the new pool table dad had bought for their Christmas. Then I quickly pulled the ring from my pocket and hugged Marie. I had her arms wrapped around her back so I could pull off her glove and slide the ring on her finger. Oops I got the wrong finger and for the longest time she wouldn't bring her hands around to see them. Finally she did and I asked if she would marry me and she didn't really answer for some time before finally saying yes. We then went into the house and she told everyone about it. That's how I remember it at least.
