<blockquote>A/N: When I first saw the dating challenge prompt, I realized I've written two slash fics recently that specifically dealt with John and Rodney dating. So, I decided to go in the completely opposite directions and approach the Sheppard and McKay friendship and the impacts their het relationships have on it. So even though there is a relationship at the center of the story, that's not really what the story is about. The fic springs from a canon moment in Sunday and goes several years into the future from there. So, you can think of it as a futurefic, a what-if scenario, and if you really, really squint and are so inclined, you can read it as pre-slash. Special thanks as always to Koschka for the beta.
Summary: What if Rodney really did ask Katie Brown to marry him?</blockquote>
