They met on a singles cruise.
Ed and Linda met on a singles cruise, and from the moment Ed laid eyes on her during the midnight countdown, he was smitten. When they discovered they lived in the same city, just miles apart, Ed could hardly believe his luck.
As soon as they returned home, Ed eagerly began planning dates. Over the next month, they shared dance clubs, romantic dinners, concerts, movies, and art galleries. Each outing felt like magic, and Ed became convinced that Linda was his soulmate.
Exactly one month after their first dinner on the cruise ship, on New Year’s Eve, Ed planned a special evening. They went to a fine dining restaurant with glittering decorations, champagne on every table, and a countdown clock overhead.
While sipping cocktails and waiting for their appetizers, Ed cleared his throat and said, “Linda, I think it’s pretty obvious—I’m crazy about you. Before we step into the New Year together and I pull out a certain little box from my pocket, I need to be upfront about something. I’m a total golf nut. I play golf, read golf magazines, watch every tournament on TV—you name it. If that’s going to be a dealbreaker, now’s the time to tell me.”
Linda smiled, took a deep breath, and said, “Ed, that won’t be a problem at all. I love you as you are, and I actually love golf too. But since we’re being completely honest, there’s something you should know. For the last five years, I’ve been a hooker.”
Ed’s face lit up in surprise, and with perfect comedic timing, he replied, “Well, Linda, I’ll bet it’s because you’re not keeping your wrists straight when you swing!”
As the crowd began the 10-second countdown to midnight, Ed pulled out a small velvet box, and Linda burst into laughter—her eyes shining with love. The New Year arrived with fireworks, a kiss, and a promise of forever.
