Santa lends a knee for surprise marriage proposal
COSTA MESA, Calif., Mon Dec 20, 10:14 AM

Santa has conspired with a love-struck California man by lending a knee for a surprise marriage proposal.

Jenny Hoang took a friend's boys to see Santa at South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa on Sunday, and she was helping the kids off Santa's lap when Old St. Nick waved her back. Santa told the 27-year-old she's been very good and there's a special gift for her.

Her boyfriend of nine years, Jonathan Nguyen, suddenly emerged, got down on a knee and proposed.

She said yes, then slid off Santa's lap and kneeled down so Jonathan could slip a ring on her finger.

The groom-to-be, who is also 27, told the Orange County Register he secretly enlisted the help of the shopping mall and Santa to pull off the surprise.

Order up! Ohio diner serves up wedding ceremony
MARSHALLVILLE, Ohio, Tue Dec 14, 10:27 AM

Guests sat in booths, not church pews, for a wedding at an Ohio diner where the bride and groom often go for breakfast.

Tim Shoenfelt proposed to Hallie Richwine in March in the parking lot of Deb's Heavenly Hash Diner in Marshallville, 40 miles south of Cleveland. They returned Saturday to exchange vows there.

The new wife tells The Daily Record of Wooster (WU'-stur) the diner seemed like the perfect wedding spot because it's one of their favorite places.

She met her husband 12 years ago at the University of Akron. They left the area for jobs in other states but eventually returned to northeast Ohio and reconnected in 2008.

The diner closed early for the ceremony. Owner Debbie Grayson took breakfast orders from the guests.

Nor but in sleep findeth a cure for care.
Incertainty that once gave scope to dream
Of laughing enterprise and glory untold,
Is now a blackness that no stars redeem.
