Aww, "I'd ring the Moon with the Sun for you."

Also, that "Sun paper" crafting idea is pretty neat, using only wax paper, shaving cream, red and yellow food coloring, toothpicks, a ruler and a piece of paper:


You could even add blue and green to simulate images of the Sun in other wavelengths.

Image Eclipse Rings

Explanation: She knew everything but the question. She was well aware that there would be a complete annular eclipse of the Sun visible from their driving destination: Lake Abert in Oregon. She knew that the next ring-of-fire eclipse would occur in the USA only in 16 more years, making this a rare photographic opportunity. She was comfortable with the plan: that she and her boyfriend would appear in front of the eclipse in silhouette, sometimes alone, and sometimes together. She knew that the annular phase of this eclipse would last only a few minutes and she helped in the many hours of planning. She could see their friend who set up the camera about 400 meters away at the bottom of a ridge. What she didn't know was the question she would be asked. But she did know the answer: "yes".
