Well,, if she's sick she may not get the enjoyment out of it that she would otherwise. If it's a tummy bug it may pass quickly and you could have a romantic breakfast proposal: Honey, I wanted to do this last night, but realized it may not have been the right time for you with you feeling badly. So I decided to wait until today and instead of ending the year on a good note, starting the new year on a high note! Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife? You are already my life's partner, my true love, the other half of my soul. The only thing that could make it better would be the honor of sharing rings for all the world to see. I love you.
