The Engagement

There was very little that was normal about Sean and Margaret's first days together.

They had been on the same team at work, but barely knew each other. Then one day she overheard him complaining about his mug getting stolen (back then he complained to everyone about his mug being stolen). Margaret had a mug identical to the one he had lost, and offered to give it to him.

This led to a number of increasingly flirtatious conversations, and finally Margaret looking up Sean's phone number (in the white pages) and giving him a call. She asked him out to a church dance on the 16th of February 2001. He agreed, but then turned around and showed up at work on Valentines day and asked her out for that night.

On the 18th she proposed and he accepted.
