It was June 28th, a steamy hot day with not a cloud in the sky. Wanting to impress to the max, Greg took Michelle to Morimoto (the Iron Chef's restaurant). Greg suggested that we take a walk through the Rittenhouse Square park to pass the time. We hailed a taxi and headed to the park. As we walked into the entrance of the park, Michelle jested "too bad I don't have my MP3 player." But Greg was prepared, pulled one out of his pocket, and had it loaded up with Norah Jones songs. They walked towards the Children with Sunflowers statue at the northeast corner of the park, shared the ear buds of the MP3 player, and slow danced to several songs. After the song Come Away With Me, Greg got down on one knee, pulled out a beautiful diamond ring and asked Michelle to marry him.
Come Away with Me is a very special song to both of us. On our third date, Michelle took Greg to the Rittenhouse park where we stood near the gazebo and the water fountain. Michelle pulled out her mp3 player and struggled to find an unoffensive waltz so she could give Greg a waltz lesson. Although Greg objected, Norah Jones' Come Away With Me was all she could find. We shared the ear buds of the MP3 player as we danced together for the first time. As this song was so special to us, Greg couldn't think of any better way to propose then to dance away before doing so. He is looking forward to spending a lifetime of dancing with Michelle.
She said yes, and shortly after many of our friends started to appear in the park. We later went to the Continental to toast with Champagne!
