Hearty congratulations!
...to Ben and Faith, who apparently got engaged last night. Kudos to both of them (who are so sweet on each other, they routinely give diabetes to hummingbirds when they're together) for remembering that it's not the "romantic setting" that matters, but rather the person you're with.
Quite welcome, and if you like that turn of phrase, feel free to use it. I adapted it from a line I read on a comic strip called "Zits" a few years back.

Oh, and thanks!
