A Thanksgiving proposal
Assemblyman Lloyd Levine, D- Van Nuys, has found a special meaning for Thanksgiving. It was the day he proposed marriage to Edie Lambert, a Sacramento television reporter, the Sacramento Bee reports.
Levine aides said he proposed to Lambert on Thursday.
"They're engaged and they're incredibly happy," said Alex Traverso, Levine's spokesman.
No date for the wedding was announced.
Thanksgiving carries a special significance for the couple -- and apparently always will.
Exactly two years ago, Levine and Lambert met in a chance encounter, hundreds of miles from home, inside a Seattle airport during a Thanksgiving Day visit to relatives.
Upon meeting, they began talking casually, one passenger to another, and each apologized because neither recognized the other, Levine recalled in an interview last spring.
"We've been dating ever since," Levine, 38, said at the time. "She's absolutely wonderful."
