STAR-CROSS(WORD) LOVERS

"After being together for more than 10 years, my husband wanted to make sure our engagement story was one we could share for a lifetime, and it is almost too good for words. I'm a big nerd who loves to do the daily crossword puzzle in the newspaper. One day my co-workers were really excited to show me the 'new' puzzle they had found in the paper. My guy had created his own crossword puzzle, arranged to have it put in the paper, and used my sneaky co-workers to make sure I saw it. It contained clues all about us—our lives together and love. The star of the puzzle was 'The Big Question.' I had figured out what the puzzle was right away, but everyone made me continue to solve the clues until he appeared around the corner and got down on one knee!" —Ashleigh Arndorfer
