A Gail Simone Inspired Marriage Proposal? Love Is In The Air At C2E2 '16

So, yesterday, the COOLEST, scariest thing happened in my signing line.

A very nice guy named Kyle said his girlfriend loves my writing, and he wants to propose to her and he wanted me to help.

So the plan was, she would bring comics for me to sign, her favorite book of mine is Clean Room, and I would give her a copy, but…

…I would write, WILL YOU MARRY ME? on the cover, and give her the beautiful ring he bought for her (with her favorite stone, sapphire!).

Normally, I would be a little leery because I wouldn't want to put added pressure on anyone but this was all so sincere and adorable…

So he gave the ring to my hubby for safekeeping, he was going to come back in the afternoon with his girlfriend…

And we all got so nervous about it we forgot to get his contact number and were terrified, what if we couldn't make it back to the table?

Anyway, she shows up in line, they are adorable together, she's an @lcsvalkkyrie, so I already love her…she gives me comics to sign…

Hubby slips me the ring, I write "WILL YOU MARRY ME" on the cover and slide the ring over…she looks completely baffled. :)

Then she looks over at Kyle and asks if this is from HIM, and says YES and the whole line starts hooting and shouting and it was awesome. :)
