To decide whether Carnival Wedding Proposal has started:

If the suitor has the plastic ring, yes;

if the first wedding proposal is not pending, yes;

no.

Carnival Wedding Proposal begins when Carnival Wedding Proposal has started.

Carnival Wedding Proposal ends when Carnival Wedding Proposal has finished.

Instead of attacking the suitor when the location is Carnival:

say "An expression of absolute shock and terror passed over [The suitor]'s face. Though his expression only lasted for an instant, [we] [know] with a dreadful finality that [we] [can] never forget that expression.[paragraph break]";

say "Mercifully, the carnival faded into nothingness, as [we] [stare] numbly at the plastic ring on [our] hand.";

now the first wedding memory is "I still don't understand why you attacked me that time at the Carnival. I know you apologized later, but it seemed so random, and it stuck with me a long time after that.";

now the first wedding proposal is rejected.

Instead of going nowhere when the location is the Carnival:

say "[The suitor] [notice] [us] walking away. A shocked expression [overcome] him. As he [open] his mouth to say something, he [are] lost amongst the crowds.";

now the first wedding memory is "That night at the Carnival, I was planning on proposing to you. But after you walked away, I just couldn't bring myself to try again for a while.";

now the first wedding proposal is aborted.

Instead of taking the plastic ring when the suitor carries the plastic ring:

say "As [we] [take] [the noun].";

now the first wedding memory is "That night at the carnival, maybe I was just playing, when I offered you that plastic ring. But since you took it, it set me thinking about what might happen if I offered you the real thing.";

now the first wedding proposal is accepted.
