Wow! When I proposed to my wife (we were 21 years old), I did not use the morse. I did not even propose by saying "will you marry me!" . . After watching a movie, I proposed - - "Hey, Let's elope!" And, no kidding, we did! And every year we don't celebrate the day when we wed . . we celebrate that day when we eloped.
