A Fake Proposal, a Real Marriage

"At my 25th birthday party, my childhood sweetheart got down on one knee, holding a diamond ring. "Diane, will you marry me?"I nodded, my eyes misty with tears, but just as I reached out, he slipped the ring onto my best friend's finger instead.The room went silent for a beat before erupting in laughter."Just kidding!" Livio Becker laughed. "You didn't take it seriously, did you?"I forced a smile and looked over his shoulder at someone. "I bet he would propose tonight, and I was right. You lost the bet, so tomorrow we're getting married for real.""
