I got a walkie talkie set as a Christmas present when I was 8. Which was kind of an evil thing to do given I had no siblings or friends to play with. One day I turned one set on and listened for a while and I thought I heard someone talking behind all the static noise. So I said something and was shocked to hear the voice talking back to me. Fast forward a few decades, next week is my wedding and that voice on the other side of the radio is my best man.

Congrats! That's such a cool story!

I think I've seen too many rom-coms because I was sure this sentence going to end with "my fiance." : )

Ten years ago I proposed to my best friend.

She said no.

Does a hollywood movie with that plot exist?

Sorry to hear that.

Are you willing to say what happened afterwards?
