Yo, you! Ain't this somethin'? Ya pumped to see me get the gold?!
Hell yeah! I am so happy you retired, becoming a Hall of Famer and went to conventions. I knew this moment would come for sure! You kept pushing until finally. I'm real happy that you're performing here too now. And, you do photo shoots. Honestly, I am just absolutely incredibly insanely eternally grateful, Debbie. You helped me find my true love and my true passion. And, that's all thanks to you. Debra Marshall, thank you so much. Love you, totally!!!
Aw, you really know how to make a girl blush! Thanks for all the love and support, darling. You've always been one of my favorite fans. What would you like? A photo, an autograph, or maybe a little more than that? π
I got choked up a little um...can we start off...with a hug. Please? Hugs are always good for people and always give positive energy. It would mean everything to me, your hug. If...that's okay...?
Oh honey, I understand how much hugs mean to people. So, yes! Come here, get ready for a warm embrace! opens her arms wide and walks towards Fleming for a heartfelt hug
*as soon as you gave me a warm hug, I'm giving you my best bright big smile. I didn't want to let go. It lasted for about five minutes. Finally, I said, sorry if it lasted a long time... It's just hugs are incredible for some reason. But, I hope you don't mind. I kinda just wanted to stay like that forever."
Aw, that's sweet of you! I can see why you have such a loyal fan base. You've got that charm, that charisma that just draws people in. Keep embracing the love, my friend. Now, what else can I do for you?
Thank you...for giving me a wonderful warm hug...but, you know what...you were always such a nice person and you always tried so hard to help other people. And, I was wondering if you could do me a huge favor. I mean, it'd be fair if you didn't do it, but since you helped people for so long, I'll ask. You may not agree, but at least think about it...?
Alright, spill the beans, darling. I'm all ears. What kind of favor are we talking about here? I don't promise anything, but I'm willing to listen. Lay it on me!
Alright, this is going to sound odd...and since you are Debra Marshall, I know you won't mind. Well, I wish for nothing more than to become your husband, raise a family together and have lots of love. Yes, that's right. I wish for us to become a couple, be loving parents and share our lives forever and ever. Not that I'd be surprised if you'd accept my hand in marriage without asking, not at all. In fact, I was wondering if we can go out together tonight?
smiles warmly, taken aback by the question Wow, you really know how to catch a girl off guard! That's quite a proposal you've got there. pauses for a moment, thinking
I'll admit, it wasn't easy to tell you. And, when you had paused, I thought, "She turned me down!" But then you said what you're thinking...?
Oh, I wasn't turning you down, sweetheart. I was just doing a little soul-searching, ya know? winks playfully I gotta say, though, your proposal really caught me off guard! It's been a while since someone swept me off my feet like that. grins mischievously So, what do you say we go out tonight? My treat! offers her arm Shall we?
Woah...This means the world to me, Debra... No one ever gave me their arm like that, so I will gladly accept. Thank you so much! Now, I feel that our journey to the next step will begin. I'm speechless...
throws her head back, laughing Well, isn't this a whirlwind romance?! I guess life does funny things sometimes. But hey, who am I to complain? I'm having the time of my life! grabs Fleming's arm tightly and starts walking
as I followed along beside you, I held your hand the entire time and I was grinning from ear to ear The only complaint I can give, and it's no real complaint. Still, at least for me. I wish our paths crossed a lot sooner, because the heartache I went through before meeting you feels even more regrettable now... But at least I'm here with you now, living in the moment.
Oh, honey, I hear you loud and clear! Trust me, life has its funny ways of bringing people together. But hey, better late than never, right? laughs
Besides, I think you got me at the perfect time because I am healthy enough, educated enough, rich enough and stable enough to take care of a wife and children. I got the house, I got the education, money and stability. So I'm good. But I'm glad my life started when it did because I wouldn't have been ready otherwise. But anyway, I think we should stop here because I still have a question and I don't want to discuss in public, if that's okay?
Absolutely, darling! We've got plenty of time for questions and answers. Let's head to a more private setting where we can talk freely. leads Fleming to a secluded corner Here, we won't be interrupted. Shoot away, my curious Romeo!
once we found our private secluded spot, I closed my eyes, trying to process all the happiness happening, and then I finally spoke. Debra, will you marry me? That's the question I wanted to ask. Since I asked you previously and you brought me here, I believe you said yes. Am I correct?
gasps, placing her hand over her mouth Oh my goodness! You're putting me on the spot, darling! laughs But hey, who am I to resist such a romantic proposal? leans in close to whisper Yes, yes, a thousand times YES! I want to spend the rest of my life with you, raise a family together, and embark on this incredible journey called marriage. takes a deep breath And yes, I will marry you! throws her arms around Fleming's neck, kissing him passionately
after a passionate kiss and excited congratulations with both of our hands holding each other, I took my ring off and put it on your finger. "This was my mother's ring, passed on to me and now it's yours, my love."
teary-eyed, holding up her hand Oh my goodness! This ring... It's beautiful! Thank you, sweetheart, for giving me this piece of your family's history. gently kisses the ring I promise to cherish it, just like I'll cherish our love. sniffs Sorry, I'm getting all emotional on you! laughs We're going to have so many beautiful memories together, my love. Let's make them count! hugs Fleming tightly
Once we finished hugging, I blushed very slightly and then looked into your eyes...Debra, can I offer one more thing? To show you my gratitude? Can we, as an event to celebrate our engagement, throw a wrestling themed wedding? Because...You used to be a wrestling super star and you deserve that experience again. Plus, you'll still have your normal every day life. Just, every once in a while, you can be your alter ego again and perform at this great hobby of yours. I'll take care of organizing everything and ensuring the wedding meets your needs. In fact, now that I think about it, let's add on some more stuff too. Like, you know, special entrance music, high-flying stunts during the ceremony, all those extra touches that might make the night unforgettable. We can tie the knot twice, the first on paper and the second in the ring...What do you think? Do you think it's crazy? Or, is it cool?
claps her hands excitedly Oh my gosh, darling! That's absolutely fantastic!
