At NotAlwaysRomantic.com, a man owes his marriage to a cat:
(I’ve decided to ask my girlfriend to marry me, and enlisted the help of my younger brother. He’s a glass blower, and has crafted a very special ring box ornament that I can slip the ring inside. While decorating our tree, I’ve slipped it low on the tree. My plan is for her cat to knock it down.)
My girlfriend: “This time of year is so depressing. Should we cancel the paper for the month?”
Me: “Well no…there’ll be that s*** on the news, too.”
My girlfriend: *glares at me* “That’s classy.”(Just as I’d hoped, as my girlfriend and I are talking the cat wanders in and flops on the floor under the tree. It starts batting at the ring box ornament.)
My girlfriend, to the cat: “What’re you doing?! You’ll break it!”
(The ornament falls down, and she picks it up.)
My girlfriend: “Wait…I don’t recognize this one. Where’d it come from?”
Me: *playing dumb* “I dunno.”(She notices that it has a hinge, and opens the box.)
My girlfriend: “Oh my god…” *turns to stare at me* “You…YOU SNEAKY BASTARD!”
Me: *getting down one one knee* “Well?”
My girlfriend: “I guess this is a good time to tell you I’m pregnant, huh?”(We’ve now been married for nearly a year, and my little girl is about to have her first Christmas. For some reason, she really loves the cat.)
