NOT Coin Related - But I'm EXCITED - I Got Engaged!

I hope the moderators allow this to stay up, as I'd like to share my joy with my "Forum Friends".
My late wonderful wife of 46 years passed away suddenly five years ago with no medical warning. Subsequently, I met a kind, sweet, thoughtful, funny, smart woman.
I'm a BIG Miami Marlins fan, so I arranged with stadium staff for the Spring Training Opening Game this past Saturday for us to get engaged at the stadium. The "trick" they used was to have us picked as the couple to play their "Marlins Trivia Game" between an inning. They said the question would appear on the Big Board, I would read the question, and then we'd answer it.
Seven photos from their cameraman are below, and you can see the pure joy that each of us felt (and the genuine surprise by my fiancé).

Congratulations!
Darn lucky that she said yes, otherwise it might have been a little awkward.
Congratulations first day of the end of your life. 😉
Our favorite Marlin, jazz Chisholm, wears heavy gold chains while he plays. Our seats are right in front, and we kid around with him, so these chains are a little "tease", with us letting him know that ours are bigger than his (gold chains).

Well done, sir!
Congratulations! I like that hat too!
Congratulations!! You both look so happy and I wish you luck in the years to come.
My late wife made that Marlins hat for me in 2003 for when we went to attend the Baseball playoffs and World Series!

Congrats! I was at an NHL game a few weeks ago where they did the same thing with trivia--she went nuts and and the place went nuts. It was a fun moment
Super fun and a hearty congratulations!
Best to you both 👍

Yes, the fans at the stadium went wild too. Our seats are right behind Don Mattingly, the Manager of the Marlins. He pointed at us, and then gave a "Thumbs Up" to the two of us! VERY exciting!

Congratulations! Enjoy the journey.
congratulations!
Now get married there. Walk down the ais... first base line. Two friends I play hockey with recently got married at the Kraken practice facility (wedding on the ice!) and got a note from the team president inviting them to his box for any game they want. Rivalries are fun, but I really like the camaraderie sports bring out.
Congrats Steve,
I'm happy for you
Whens the date?

No date set yet. My guess is in about a year. However, if she gets pregnant, we'll then have to get married right away, so I can make her an honest woman, lol. So yes, in all seriousness, my guess is in about a year.
