That is so great I cannot even tell you! "You come, too" is one of the moments in time that helped me to decide that my husband was "the one." I gave him the complete works of Robert Frost as a gift when we were in college and when he said that to me (referencing Robert Frost) it completely melted my heart and that is probably why we have been married as long as we have! Thirty-five years this August. Thanks for mentioning it. Hope the drinks at the pub are memorable ones!
