When I was fourteen, I accepted Larry Bird as my Lord and Savior. Consequently, I think the Messiah from French Lick offers modern American men a useful model for the mechanics of matrimony...
Larry had a longtime girlfriend, Dinah Mattingly. After thirteen years of dating Dinah (and the demise of his cherished Doberman, Klinger...), Larry popped the question to his beloved in a manner that every American male should emulate...
While stopped at a light in downtown French Lick, Larry reached into the glove compartment of his Ford pickup, pulled out a small box, blew the dust off the box, and handed the ring inside the box to Dinah with the tender words, "You can wear this if you want..."
When they eventually tied the knot, the happy couple had their ceremony in the garage of Larry's French Lick, with wedding cake in the backyard, while Larry and the few guests went out and shot hoops.
Frugal AND tasteful...

Sorry Ladies, Lance Romance here is already taken. Hard to believe...But this romantic prince is all mine.
He wanted a pizza party/kegger for our wedding รก la Larry and DInah, but I nixed that idea.
