I have loved you since the moment I clamped eyes on you. What could be more reasonable than to marry you?

What it means
Our interpretation.
A proposal delivered as if it were plain logic: I fell for you at first sight, so of course marriage is the sensible next step. The playful phrase "clamped eyes" adds a sudden, almost comical intensity, treating love as an argument that needs no more proof.
