Sometimes you have to read into the words that are written and use them in the context of the sentence around them. I think to break it down for you what he is saying is that it might have cost a lot of money to get out of the marriage, but it was all worth it in the end, because it wasn't all bad times. Am I close, Rocky?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Billie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 26th 2010 10:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The $10,000 Proposal Martini]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/01/24/the-10-000-proposal-martini/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/01/24/the-10-000-proposal-martini/</guid><description><![CDATA[Billie is close to being right, thanks for looking a little deeper for understanding. <br>The two martinis led to a successful relationship (no marriage), at the close an event occurred that cost me $100,000, no foul on either part.<br><br>I do have funnier martini stories including a recent one from the Sea Horse Lounge at Caesars Palace. <br><br>I am new to this site and look forward to future civil joust. ;-) ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rockymet]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 27th 2010 12:12AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The $10,000 Proposal Martini]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/01/24/the-10-000-proposal-martini/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/01/24/the-10-000-proposal-martini/</guid><description><![CDATA[Realize how dated this idea is?<BR><BR>The Oak Bar in Boston has done this for a MINIMUM of 10 years - $10k engagement martini. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Oh Please]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 25th 2010 8:47AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The $10,000 Proposal Martini]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/01/24/the-10-000-proposal-martini/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/01/24/the-10-000-proposal-martini/</guid><description><![CDATA[this website you have posted is a trajan horse - DON"T OPEN HIS WEB SITE!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[xantoz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 25th 2010 3:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The $10,000 Proposal Martini]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/01/24/the-10-000-proposal-martini/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/01/24/the-10-000-proposal-martini/</guid><description><![CDATA[All that classy razz-ma-tazz, but who wants to fish a ring out of a drink then put it on?

Our first date was on the 3rd of July.  I had secretly opened a box of cracker jacks and made a wrapper that looked real with an engagement ring I picked out for her tucked inside.  We went out to watch the fireworks out by the falls (Canada was celebrating their day on the 3rd).  That when i handed her the cracker jacks and she found the prize asked if i wanted it and insisted she opened it just as she did i got down on one knee and "popped" the question.   To this day she says it was the best proposal she could have dreamed of.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[miroda]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 26th 2010 9:31AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The $10,000 Proposal Martini]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/01/24/the-10-000-proposal-martini/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/01/24/the-10-000-proposal-martini/</guid><description><![CDATA[But how much do you have to pay to get good service at the Algonquin bar? The waiters in the lobby are notorious for bad service along with their bad attitudes. The rest of the staff at the Algonquin are first-rate, but the waiters act as if your mere presence is a major annoyance.  Note to anyone planning to propose on bended knee--don't move the chairs. God forbid if you move a chair out of its assigned location.<br>Love the hotel, love the ambiance of the lobby, but someone should remind the waiters that they are in a service industry.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sherlockia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 26th 2010 9:33AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The $10,000 Proposal Martini]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/01/24/the-10-000-proposal-martini/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/01/24/the-10-000-proposal-martini/</guid><description><![CDATA[Limited ENGAGEMENT 4WE Know each Other Very Well.....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ADMR]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 26th 2010 9:48AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The $10,000 Proposal Martini]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/01/24/the-10-000-proposal-martini/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/01/24/the-10-000-proposal-martini/</guid><description><![CDATA[My husband  presented me with a 4 carat Emerald cut ring, which had been placed on top of a hot fudge Sundae, on Christmas Eve, 18 years ago.
