Listen to the tape again to get further understanding of the text

We only lived about eight kilometers from each other. Your grandfather was a minister in the church, three villages away.

We were having dinner in a restaurant one evening, and we were talking about people getting married, and so on. We talked about all kinds of different people, sometimes families we both knew. We were having a very enjoyable conversation and laughed a lot.

I asked him, " And will you marry me?" He went a little red in the face, and couldn't say anything for a few minutes. He looked rather surprised. Finally, he said, " Well, this is very sudden and unexpected!"

So I laughed and said "No! What I mean is, when I get married in church, will you be the minister who marries me and my husband?" He laughed, and seemed to feel much better after I had said that.

our talk put an intersting idea into his head. He considered what I had said and realised that he had always loved me.

So, a few days later he came to visit me at home. It was then that he asked me to marry him. This time it was my turn to feel honoured. But I immediately accepted!
