Craig and Nicole had been together for three years when he decided to pop the question. To do it, he opted to recreate their first date.

So on a Saturday afternoon, Craig picked Nicole up at her apartment and took her to a nice park for a romantic picnic lunch. He had filled his picnic basket with gourmet sandwiches and a bottle of wine.

They sat on a blanket and enjoyed their surroundings —  the green grass, the blue sky and crisp clouds floating by.

“This is so romantic,” Nicole said.

“I know,” Craig said. “Just like our first date.”

Nicole raised her eyebrows.

“Not exactly,” she said.

This didn’t phase Craig.

“Yeah, it’s a much nicer day than it was back then,” he said, looking up at the sky.

The two continued eating and finally it was time for Craig to propose.

“Nicole,” he said mustering up the courage. “I brought you here for a reason. I’ve loved you ever since our first date. That’s why I brought you on this picnic… to recreate our first date. And now I’d like to know, if you’ll be my wife?”

He pulled the ring box out of his pocket and held it out for her.

Nicole was speechless.

“Um,” Nicole said after a long beat of silence. “Craig, I love you too. But I have to tell you something. This is not where we had our first date.”

“What? Yeah it is,” he insisted.

“No, it isn’t. We went to dinner at a seafood restaurant and I ended up with food poisoning.”

Craig scratched his head with a confused look.

“But, I could have sworn…” he said racking his brain trying to remember.

“Nope. I’ve never been here before.”

It was then that Craig remembered that this wasn’t the location of their first date after all. It was actually the location of the first date he had with his previous girlfriend, Monica.

Embarrassment overcame him. Nicole recognized that look.

“What? Wait, don’t tell me. This is where you took Monica on your first date?”

“Um, yeah,” he admitted sheepishly.

“I can’t believe this,” Nicole replied.

What do you think? Should Nicole forgive him or is this mistake inexcusable?
