***For Andy's proposal I pictured somehow everyone crashes the quiet dinner he 
planned and there's a noisy party going on.  Andy would try to take Helen aside 
to propose, but she can't hear him so he shouts "Helen, please marry me?" just 
about the time the music goes off and everyone quiets down.  Then when she said 
yes, they lean into kiss and everyone would jump between them with hugs, back 
pats and handshakes.***
 
I thought about that too.  The only thing I would add is, Andy apologizes to 
Helen at some point and says this isn't what he had in mind, he wanted a quiet 
evening, just the two of them.  Helen says she understands, but says "Then 
again, look around," and everyone is having the time of their lives.  Aunt Bee 
is serving pie, Howard is amazing Floyd (or Emmett) with some story, someone's 
playing a musical instrument, perhaps Goober is cracking people up with an 
imitation...Then Helen says ""I almost think I wouldn't have it any other way." 
 The message would be clear: she's not just marrying Andy, she's marrying the 
town, because Andy belongs to them as well.
