Six-Word Memoirs with SMITH Mag

Pork loin, engagement ring, I did.

Backstory

My husband cooked a Valentine's dinner for me. It was a special feast of pork loin with all the trimmings. He was so excited to propose that he couldn't wait until the end of dinner. Needless to say, we never finished dinner! He asked, I said "yes" and we both said "I do". Now, we have pork loin every year for Valentine's Day dinner.
