Sen. Elizabeth Warren celebrated her wedding anniversary with a heartfelt post on Facebook, sharing the story of how she proposed to her husband.
“I proposed to Bruce in a classroom,” the Massachusetts Democrat wrote. “It was the first time I’d seen him teach, and I was already in love with him, but watching him teach let me see one more thing about him — and that was it.”
She said she waited for him to finish teaching and for the students to leave the room.
{mosads}Warren said that Mann “came up to me and asked, somewhat hesitantly, “Uh, what did you think?,”
She responded: “What can I say? Will you marry me?”
Warren has been married to Harvard Law professor Bruce Mann for 36 years.
“We got married 36 years ago today. It made no sense at all, but maybe that’s how love works,” she wrote. “All I know is that I’m sure glad I asked — and sure glad he said yes.”
