My husband proposed to me when I was in the hospital. We had been together for about a year, and I had been really healthy during that time (I have Crohn's Disease). I got really sick, and I told him that since I didn't know what my future would bring, I would understand if he wanted to walk away. He told me not to be silly, and the next evening he came to the hospital to visit me and proposed. Twenty years (and 4 surgeries) later, we're still happily married!
