Elizabeth Warren shares the precious story of how she proposed to her husband

As "the plainspoken voice of people," Sen. Elizabeth Warren is used to schooling politicians. So, it only makes sense that the only man to make the grade with her was a law professor.

On Tuesday, the "hard-charging, go-to-the-mat-for-whatever-you-believe" senator celebrated her 36th anniversary with the "scholarly, camping-out-in-the-archives-poring-over-an-old-legal-manuscript" Harvard instructor, Bruce Mann. Warren previously revealed that she was the steward of the power couple's union but now, the senator is sharing just how she did it — and it's perhaps the sweetest story you'll read all day.

"I proposed to Bruce in a classroom," Warren wrote on Facebook. "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. When class was over and the students had cleared out, he came up to me and asked, somewhat hesitantly, 'Uh, what did you think?' 'What can I say? Will you marry me?'" 

"It made no sense at all," she continued. "Bruce was teaching in Connecticut, and I was teaching in Houston. And besides, there was the small matter of the fact that I had a complicated life: two children, both of my parents and my Aunt Bee popping in and out all day, a red station wagon and a mean little dog that bit people. Bruce had lived with none of the above — children, seniors, station wagons or dogs — but he never hesitated. We got married 36 years ago today. It made no sense at all, but maybe that's how love works. All I know is that I'm sure glad I asked — and sure glad he said yes. Happy anniversary, Sweetie! I love you."
