It just wouldn't come. And it wouldn't come. And then it came from Iowa.
With a 16x20-inch framed photograph we've dotingly dubbed "The Ransom Note,'' Dan proposed to me on June 1, 2006. The photo arrived via USPS from a woman in Centerville, Iowa. Iowa?! Using individual letters he photographed from signs around town, he spelled out the words, "Will You Marry Me?'' Duh. I kissed him, accepted and immediately called the Hotel del Coronado. He laughed at my forethought. He hasn't seen anything yet.
Oh...Iowa...he gave the cardboard-wrapped photograph to his friend, Jeff's girlfriend, who traveled to Iowa to visit her grandparents. In Centerville.
