Nicholas Cage - Weird things we did not know...

He Proposed to Patricia Arquette the Day they Met The story goes that Nic told Patricia on the day they met that he loved her and was going to marry her. She then gave him a scavenger hunt list of impossible tasks to prove his love. When he returned with several of the items (including reclusive author J. D. Salinger's autograph) Arquette ran away frightened by his over-enthusiasm. It wasn't until they met again eight years later that they fell in love and wed. Guess Patricia should have listened to her gut the first time. The couple separated after nine months, though the divorce was not finalized for another four years.

This is either really strange and weird or high romantic!! You be the judge..although we tend to wish romantic..sigh...
