‘She comes out for our ten year anniversary … we had this elaborate picnic out on the Point. I got down on bended knee and I said, “We’ve been together for ten years. Will you marry me?” And she said, “Ten years? We’ve only been together for nine.” And I said, “No, it’s ten, and is that a yes?” And she looks at me incredulously and says, “I guess so.” It was really deflating and unsatisfying.

I had to go shoot that day, and when I came back to the Inn where we were staying … She slipped a ring on my finger. And I was like, aww, that’s so sweet! While we were shooting, she went out and got a ring for me! … But what actually happened was .., She had been making me a ring - and I’d beat her to the punch by one day, so she was like ”Grrr!” But she had made this ring - which I’ve now lost - that had nine holes. One for each year we’d been together. So when she found out it was actually ten, she was like, “Oh no!”’
