Dwight Lindley:“In my wife’s family, you are expected to get the father’s permission before proposing. I had to labor long and hard to get that permission, and when I finally did, I took her out to hike a small mountain outside Little Rock, Arkansas. Near the top, I knelt down, but because I was higher on the slope than she was, I actually ended up being slightly above her to propose! She said yes. I said, ‘Well, do you like the ring?’ She said, ‘... I could learn to like it.’ So we spent the rest of the day getting a replacement ring.”
