Bob Emerman notes:

I am a devotee of the New York Times crossword and have been doing them everyday for decades. I don't always solve them completely but most of the time. We moved to Denver after living on Long Island for 25 years and have the Times delivered daily. Even though I have the app I much prefer doing the puzzle in the actual paper.

Our son Matthew had told us he was working on proposing to his girlfriend Rhea and was thinking of doing it before her mid December birthday in Curaçao. On December 8th we received a call from him from NYC. He had decided that he would propose to her on Wednesday December 9. They had met in New York and it felt right to him. We were very excited.

On Wednesday morning I retrieved the Times from our front porch and read through it with breakfast. As is my routine I then started to solve the puzzle. When I answered 22 down with "RHEA" I thought it was very neat that her name was an answer on the day Matt was going to ask her to marry him. When I got back to solving 14 down and it was "MATTHEW" I was blown away! (I did solve the whole puzzle that day.) To have both of their names in the puzzle and close together on the day they became engaged is absolutely amazing. We have already framed the puzzle and will be giving it to them.
