Will You Marry Me Quotes

“Asking her had been the sort of almost-impulsive decision that had characterized a lot of Varney's more terrible life choices -- he'd said it and then been flooded by a vast horrible wave of terror that had tightened his fingers on the wheel and lifted all the little hairs on the back of his neck -- and the moment when she had not said no, where she had -- smiled at Varney, the way she smiled sometimes that made him feel as if all the insides of his bones were glowing warm -- she'd smiled and she'd said yes and that meant, didn't it, that meant that oh God, could this actually happen?

“We got married three years after we first met. I didn’t want to, not really. I agreed only because of pure attrition. John got it into his head that we should get married: he asked me and I said no, why should we what’s the point? Being the obtuse person he was, he then made a point of asking me to marry him at every available opportunity, often several times a day. “Alice, what do you want for dinner, and will you marry me?” he would say, or “What are you up to tomorrow? Why don’t we get married?”, or, whispered, “Alice, it’s your sister on the phone and by the way will you marry me, please?” This went on for months, I think. In the end I just said yes, all right, why not?”
