Slight derail. In Vegas last September I and George's two sisters had gone to watch the Bellagio fountains at around 10pm. Big crowd, big show, fun for all. As we walked back down to the Strip along the balustraded walkway, this guy standing near us got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend, with a beautiful ring. She said yes, we all cried and I wish, oh how I wish, I'd had the wherewithall to take a photo of the moment to email to them later.
We were there! Nobody else noticed, they were all walking by, but we witnessed that special moment. It was beautiful.
