UMW is counting down to Valentine’s Day with a series of Mary Washington love stories.<\/em><\/p>

A traditional proposal. An untraditional route to love and marriage. Forty-six years later, President and Mrs. Hurley have no regrets.<\/p>

\"President
President and Mrs. Hurley<\/figcaption><\/figure>

How did it start?<\/em><\/p>

As friends – Rick and Rose attended neighboring New Jersey high schools and met through local high school dances.<\/p>

When did the sparks happen?<\/em><\/p>

At a party – Rose was still in high school and Rick was on leave from his Army tour in Germany. Rose was on a date that night, but that didn’t stop Rick from asking if he could pick her up from school the next day. They spent every day between then and his next tour together.<\/p>

How did he propose?<\/em><\/p>

Rick returned from Vietnam and took Rose out to dinner. The wait staff brought out a heart-shaped cake with sparklers and the ring box on top. Of course she said “yes!” They married seven months later.<\/p>

What do they like doing together?<\/em><\/p>

Boating and cooking. For years, the couple owned a boat and spent time on the water with friends and family. Today, they love being in the kitchen together – cooking everything from chicken potpie to apple strudel.<\/p>

Would they change anything?<\/em><\/p>

Yes – they’d take the traditional route, with a longer engagement and college educations before kids. But, they have no regrets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
