-Andrew: You know what? Actually, Margret loves telling this story... So I'm just gonna let her go ahead and do that. Because I think we should just sit in rapture.
-Margret: Huh! Wow, ok. Wow, where to begin this story. Ok, well, um, Andrew and I...Andrew and I were about to celebrate our first anniversary together. And I knew that he'd been itching to ask me to marry him. And he was scared, like a little tiny bird. So I started leaving him little hints here and there because I knew he wouldn't have the guts to ask, but...
-Andrew: That's not exactly how it happened. I mean, I picked up on all her little hints. This woman's about as subtle as a gun. What I was worried about was that she might find this little box...
-Margret: Oh! The decoupage box that he made, where he'd taken the time to cut out,tiny, little pictures of himself. Yes. Just pasted all over the box. Oh, so beautiful. So I opened that beautiful, little decoupage, and out fluttered these tiny, little hand-cut heart confetti’s. And once they cleared, I looked down, and I saw the most beautiful, big...
-Andrew: Fat nothing. No ring. No, but inside that box... Underneath all that crap there was a little handwritten note... With the address to a hotel, date, and time. Real Humphrey Bogart-type stuff.
-Margret: I thought he was seeing someone else. It was a terrible time for me, but I went to that hotel anyway. I went there and I pounded on the door,but the door was already unlocked. And as swung open that door, there he was...
-Andrew: Standing.
-Margret: Kneeling.
-Andrew: Like a man.
-Margret: On a bed of rose petals, in a tuxedo. Your son. Your son. And he was choking back soft, soft sobs. And when he held back the tears and finally caught his breath. He said to me...
-Andrew: Margaret, will you marry me? And she said, "yep" the end.
Margret和Andrew一起参加Andrew奶奶的90大寿，并在欢迎会上宣布了他们将要结婚的事实，大家都非常震惊，但更想知道的是Andrew是怎么追到Margret的，又是怎么求婚成功的。在没有准备的情况下，两人被逼无奈一起编造了这么一个生动的故事，在捏造故事的同时还在暗中较劲呢~~（小编偷笑ing~~）

-Grace: So here we are. This is your bedroom.
-Margret: Wow, this is, um... Beautiful, and the view.
-Annie: And here's the bed.
-Margret: Wow! Exquisite bed. Exquisite. So... Where is Andrew’s room?
-Grace: Oh, sweetie, we're not under any illusions that you two don't sleep in the same bed. He'll sleep in here with you.
-Margret: Oh, great, 'cause we love to snuggle.
-Annie: And if you get chilly tonight... Use this. It has special powers.
-Margret: Oh, what kind of special powers?
-Annie: I call it the baby maker.
-Margret: Ok, well. Then I guess we...gonna be super careful with that one.
-Grace: We'd better turn in. It's been quite an evening. So good night, everybody.
Andrew的奶奶虽然年纪大了，但却是一个老顽童，十分的亲切可爱。她安排了房间让两人同住，还附赠了一条“送子毯”，这可让两人尴尬的要死啊~~他们会怎么处理呢？又是如何假装亲密，骗过家人的呢？
