So as most of you know, this past Wednesday evening has become not only one of my most memorable evenings in Italy, but the most memorable moment of my life thusfar....
I was dying to take Dave to the local Ristorante, Il Convento... As everyone knows, I have had some of my best meals here. The house wine is great, the food is great, it's a beautiful romantic restaurant with an outdoor garden seating or intimate indoor seating under an ancient vaulted ceiling... nothing can beat it.
We chose to sit outside, and proceeded to have a great meal. We started with a delicious salad, ravioli in a walnut cream sauce, and Dave had (what he calls) Pork wrapped in Bacon. I wanted the chicken, but they were out...so I ordered what I thought was scallops... but it was scalloped veal! I had to send it back (because I don't eat beef...) but I did get a delicious formaggio sampling to top it off.
Before dessert, Dave ordered 2 glasses of Prosecco (which is sparkling white wine-like Champagne)... and he wanted to toast to us... "To my best friend, whom I love..." I was so touched! I almost cried...But it wasn't over yet...
He proceeded to say how we've been together for a long time, and he was wondering (as he reached into his pocket for a little box) if I would marry him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ring on the table...then on my finger....
As everyone knows, I may be a silly lady at times, but I am no fool, and I agreed.
It was perfection....
