It's corny but it's true, when you know, you know.

這很老套，但卻是真的，當你知道時，你就知道了。

And in a lot of ways I knew right away on the first evening that we met.

在很多方面，我們見面的第一個晚上我就知道了。

And I also remember the moment when I knew that I wanted to ask her to marry me.

我還記得，當我知道我想向她求婚的那一刻。

It was not something that I knew I was going to do on the day that it happened.

事情發生的當天，我並不知道自己要做什麼。

I was thinking about how much Ariel meant to me and how we had grown so close and my feelings for her.

我在想艾莉兒對我有多重要，我們是如何變得如此親密，以及我對她的感情。

And I just had this moment that I realized that if I got hit by a bus tomorrow, I would want her to know how I felt today.

我突然意識到，如果我明天被公車撞了，我也想讓她知道我今天的感受。

Once you know that, you're like, why would I wait a year or six months or even a day?

一旦你知道了這一點，你就會想，我為什麼要等一年、半年甚至一天呢？

I was at work, I texted my boss saying like, I got a family emergency.

我當時在上班，給老闆發了條簡訊，說家裡有急事。

And I left work, I got a haircut, put on a suit, I got some flowers, I went to a ring store.

下班後，我理了發，穿上西裝，買了花，還去了戒指店。

It felt weird, it didn't feel right, didn't feel right.

感覺很奇怪，感覺不對，感覺不對。

So I left the ring store, got a placeholder, wrote her a tear stained note, reread it, realized it was kind of incoherent, so I rewrote it.

於是我離開了戒指店，找了個佔位符，給她寫了一張沾滿淚水的紙條，重讀後發現有點語無倫次，於是又重寫了一遍。

然後我在她的辦公室給了她一個驚喜。

She knew that we had a plan for a date night that night.

她知道那天晚上我們有個約會計劃。

So she was like expecting me, but also she's like, wait, why are you in a suit?

所以她就像在等我一樣，但她又想，等等，你為什麼要穿西裝？

I was barely keeping it together at this point.

Like seriously, I was like trying to focus on the asphalt because if I just thought about how I felt about Ariel, I was gonna like start crying or something.

說真的，我試著把注意力集中在瀝青上 因為如果我一想到我對艾瑞兒的感覺 我就會哭出來什麼的

So I got down on one knee and I asked her to marry me.

And then she said, of course I'll marry you.

We both were very moved and held each other for a while and started calling our family and got married a year and a half later.

我們都非常感動，抱在一起哭了一會兒，然後開始給家人打電話，一年半後就結婚了。

And I've been married five years to this day.

Some people date for 10 years before they know that they want to spend the rest of their lives with them.

有些人約會 10 年後，才知道自己想與對方共度餘生。

Some people date for a long time and never really know, and that's okay.

有些人約會了很久，卻從來沒有真正瞭解過，這沒關係。

Other people know like the minute you see them, how you know, like you just know.

別人一看到你就知道你是怎麼知道的，就像你就是知道一樣。
