Only how am I supposed to askMichael whether or not he is planning on asking me? You can't do that.That fully ruins the romance of the thing.

Helen Thermopolis: 'Marryyou.'

Mr Gianini: 'OK.'

HELLO!!!!!!!!! Where is theromance in THAT???? 'Frank, I'm pregnant, let's get married.' 'OK.'AAAAACKKKK!!!!

What about:

Helen Thermopolis: 'Frank, theseed from your loins has sprung to fruition in my womb.'

Mr Gianini: 'Helen,Ihave never heard such joyous news in all of my thirty-nineyears. Will you do me the very

great honour of becoming my bride, mysoul mate, my life partner?'

Helen Thermopolis: 'Yes, my sweetprotector.'

Mr Gianini: 'My life! My hope! Mylove!'

Michael Moscovitz: 'OK.'

NO!!!!!!!!! That will neverwork!!!!!!! Michael has to ask ME. He has to be all:

Michael Moscovitz: 'Mia, the pastfive months have been the most magical of my life. Being with you islike having a
