Student proposes on
campus bulletin board
Did she say yes? Did she say no?

Most men get on their
knees and ask the
question that would
change everything,
or go through the extreme challenges
of getting their significant other
to say yes by going to great lengths,
such as taking out an advertisement
in the newspaper or hiring an airplane
to fly a banner in the sky.
Giovanni Martinez kept it short
and simple by posting a romantic
proposal on the Valentine’s Day
bulletin board near the Gallery at
North Lake College.
Earlier in the year he had asked
Veronica Lopez how she would picture
the perfect promise of his love
to her. Most women would want the
occasion to fall on their birthday or
Christmas, but Veronica chose not
the day of love – Valentine’s – but
the day after. Little did she know
that she would be taken seriously.
February 15 went by as any day
did and Veronica asked Giovanni in
a panic, “Do you love me?”
She would soon find out what he
meant when he said, “You will find
out when you see what I have written
you on the Valentine’s Day bulletin
board.”
She ran over to the board and
looked frantically for the message,
but it was no where to be found.
Then she lifted up a piece of paper
and there it was: “Veronica, I love
you so much that I just got you this
beautiful ring.”
She didn’t react all girlie and
excited like most women do when
they are asked the ultimate question.
She was shocked. So the question
still remains. Did she or did she
not say yes?
Of course, she said yes. Veronica
is thankful to SPAR for creating
the Valentine’s Day bulletin board
and for making Giovanni’s promise
to her the most original and romantic
ever. |
