The First Date:
After Josh showed Lainie his new Virtual Reality Headset, they set out to Bar La Grassa for a delicious dinner. Shortly after being seated, Josh asked Lainie if she had a coin in her bag. Lainie found a penny and handed it over to soon be wooed by the magical powers of Joshua the Great. He made the coin DISAPPEAR, only to be pulled out of Lainie's ear a few seconds later. Little did Josh know, Lainie grew up doing magic with her dad. She pulled a candle on the dinner table over, reached inside, and threw a fire ball in the air at the restaurant. Lainie had to make sure Josh knew that she was better.

Meet the Parents:
Josh, living in Minneapolis, MN, had the pleasure of meeting Lainie's parents early on in their relationship. Josh's parents, on the other hand, had to wait a grueling MONTH before they got to meet their son's beautiful, wonderful, very funny and personable girlfriend (Josh totally wrote this).

The Proposal: After much planning, Josh pulled off a beautiful engagement that caught Lainie completely by surprise. On the back deck of the first house they owned together, big marquee letters spelled out "MARRY ME". Lainie could barely see because of the tears that filled her eyes immediately as she realized what was happening. "I know you've been waiting for a long time. You're my best friend, and there's no one else I'd rather spend my life with. Lainie Rose Ribnick, will you marry me?" "YES!"
