I absolutely ADORE this story, just shared with me by my friend John. It's perfect for Valentines Day. From a 2005 article in The New York Times regarding how people ask their loves to share their lives:
When John Higgins took Robert Montagnese to see the singer Nancy LaMott perform at the Russian Tea Room a few years ago, he thought he would quietly ask for his boyfriend's hand during a song he had requested. After she finished "Listen to My Heart," Ms. LaMott silenced the room and boomed "Well?" into the microphone. "He said yes," came the response, and Ms. LaMott said, "Ladies and gentleman, yet another gay couple providing an example for how straight men should behave."
For the record, that was over 16 years ago and John and Robert are currently in the midst of building their dreamhouse weekend home. They've become my new heroes.
