Smart, talented, great scientist has his own way to show his love.
As a great scientist of the 20th century, Thomas Edison (1847-1931) is known for his convenient inventions that serve human life. Smart, talented, he is also a loyal and loving man.
At the age of 24, Thomas Edison was the owner of a rather famous enterprise. So he is very busy. The way he proposed to his first wife after 2 months of meeting also shows how busy he is. One day, he came in front of his 16-year-old secretary, Mary, and whispered:
- Ma'am, I don't want to waste time in vain. Let me ask you a very short and clear question: Would you like to be my wife?
Edison then received silence because Mary was very surprised.
- What do you mean, do you accept me? I ask you to think for five minutes. Edison repeated.
- Five minutes? That's too long! Yes, I accept - Mary agreed immediately.
Their wedding then took place quickly after a quick, neat, quick marriage proposal. The two later had three children together. Unfortunately, however, Marry passed away in 1884. Edison was deeply saddened and missed his late wife. He had to go to Boston and stay at a friend's house named Gilliard to have someone to talk to to ease his sadness.
One day, Gilliard's house held a party, and Mina Miller, an 18-year-old girl who was a pianist and vocalist, was invited to the party. Mina's appearance made Edison's heart flutter again.
They love each other but they do not choose the usual language to convey information. Edison taught Mina how to use Morse code to make their relationship more private.
One day, he sent a text message proposing to his other half: .– — .- .-. -. -.– — .- — .- .-. .-. -.– — . Mina did not hesitate to answer: -.– . …
Thomas Edison's marriage proposal.
Their subsequent marriage was held on February 24, 1886, in the presence of many famous friends of the two sides. Thomas Edison died at the age of 84, the last words he said to his wife were: 'It's so beautiful out there'. Their relationship has always been strong. To this day, their graves are placed side by side in the memorial garden behind their home.
