Conversation hearts: anyone ever propose with one?

We love those conversation hearts from Necco
(and, what the heck, the knockoffs too, whether they be bitter or sweet or plain obnoxious). When I was a
little girl whose head was filled with images of princess hats, men on white horses, and endless gifts of Whitman's
Samplers and sugary candy and roses for Valentine's Day, I imagined the time when my sweetheart would express his love
with those sweet, sweet hearts.
But it's never really happened as in my dream. When my husband proposed? It
wasn't by handing me a candy heart imprinted in pink smudged block letters with "MARRY ME."
Has
that ever happened, to you or someone you know? Please do share.
