Disclaimer: I don't own any ideas or the like. The late, and great, Jonathan Larson does.

April, you know we've only been going out for seven months, but I've made up my mind already. I love you. I know I'll take a while to reach that small house in the country, with a picket fence and maybe a dog, but I want to try. Will you marry me?
