My wife and I have special dates memorized. When we got together, our first kiss, the day we moved in together, ect ect. One evening I asked her to tell me all the dates cuz I "forgot" some. When she finished I said "what about December 9th?" She was like a deer in the headlights thinking she forgot what happened that day (not realizing that was that days date). So she softly asked me what happened that day almost as if she were embarrassed for forgetting. I got down on both knees (because one is too cliche lol) and said " it's the day I asked you to marry me" with the ring in my hand. She was so blindsided that she just looked at me and said "WHAT?!" and I asked if that was her answer! Thankfully it was yes and this July we will be married 5 years.
