So there we were, minding our own business…
January 7th 2008 -
Veronica and I had an unusual experience at the movies on Sunday afternoon. We’d gone in for a session of the film “Into The Wild” at the Chauvel cinema and were watching the ads before the film, when a rather startling ad showed. Veronica was in it! And then the ad said “Veronica Luke, will you marry me?”. Fortunately, I just so happened to have a ring in my pocket, so I quickly seized the initiative and proposed to her, and she said yes, and we exited the cinema (to a big round of applause). Phew! You’ve really got to be prepared for this kind of thing nowadays.
Veronica wasn’t, though. :-)
And all of today, I’ve been in a haze of happiness. Hooray for the magic of cinema advertising! Hooray for the Chauvel cinema! Hooray for Veronica! (And yes, the “spending more time with Veronica” thing in the last post was a hint…)

Oh my, sounds like congratulations are in order! I was hoping to get your opinion on the movie though, guess I’ll have to go and see for myself.

Congratulations and nice job!
Does “Into the wild” represent your vision of marriage?

Thanks everyone! The Chauvel cinema people were great – not only did they not charge me anything, but they also gave us champagne, *and* gave us a voucher to come and see the film again when we’re not so distracted.
They only had a couple of films showing on Sunday, but I’m pretty pleased that the session was “Into the Wild” – more as a part of the story though, rather than my attitude towards marriage!
