Marina and Bill

I wrote a poem for Bill - which is all very good - but I hadn't the nerve to do anything with it. Then, when his daughter came to visit, he asked her to tell me why we should always be together, and she said because I am good and kind.... and I said "an all-round good guy then!" I then said to Bill, "So does this mean you'll marry me then?" He didn't reply straight away, but a while later, he said that the answer to my question would be yes - if I'd have him! No more was said (due to embarassment/fear of rejection??), but a couple of days later, he said to me, "So, when are you getting married then?" "The funny thing is," I replied, "it takes two!' He then asked how my children felt about it - aged 18, 20 and 23 - and suggested I asked them. To cut a long and boring story short, they were all thrilled, and then we announced it to all and sundry!
