A Proposal.

With this ring, I thee 'wet.'

Venice, Italy - In a flooded St. Mark's Square this morning, a man suddenly fell to his knee, yelling loudly.

Thrusting his hand toward the heavens, he professed his love in a booming voice that echoed through the archways.

Then, he asked the woman with whom he has shared his life for 45 years to marry him.

She said it was about time.

Venice is, after all, the city of romance.
