"There isn't a mandolin in here, there is just a ring"

I’m Emgaged, clif asked me July 25th, in St johns az how it happen:
We were in St. Johns for the 24th of july celebration (pioneer days) and Larry Heap (my sister n law Lisa’s dad) has a wagon pull by his mules, that he has in the parade every year. Clif had asked if he can ride in it after the parade, so my brother John took us to the end of the parade, and Larry took us for a ride on the wagon. Normally every year the mandolin club riding with him, this year he didn’t. He had church leaders of St. Johns, so I asked Larry about that, why they didn’t play this year. But Bev’s (Lisa’s mom) mandolin was under the seat. So I asked why her mandolin was there. Larry explained that it was for the church leaders they, if they wanted to play and the parade route. Clif asked if that was a mandolin and if he could play it. So Clif asked me to get it out for him. I opened up the case and said there is nothing in here there is just a ring. And I don’t know what I was thinking but I was confused. And clif had to tell me that it was my ring, then asked me to marry him. I said yes of course.
We are getting married November 14th 2009, at the Mesa, Az temple
