Check out Stephanie Earls from Albany: He did it in Domestics. In front of Bernadine from Housewares and David from Men's Suits, but not Sandi from Candy who had the day off.
He did it there, by the cash register, above the worn industrial tile floor with cracks like a lunar horizon, near the bins piled with 200-thread-count sheet sets and seasonal tablecloths and items being covertly moved in Unadvertised Specials. There, at the Saturday morning pull-together meeting on the sales floor of the Colonie Center Boscov's, a week before Black Friday.
Walter from Men's Furnishings dropped to one knee and asked Diane from Sales Control to be his wife.
To be more specific and Walter Jewell remembers the words verbatim, like the chorus to a favorite song what he said was: "I love you. I want to be with you. Would you do me the honor and marry me?"
When the embarrassment finally turned to tears and the tears finally stopped, Diane Preble said, "Yes."
