Yes, it is true, except i think it was the late 1980's. Nic met Patricia in Canters Deli, a restaurant in Los Angeles one night. As the story has it, when he approached her to talk to her, he told her that she was going to be his wife. that scared her because it was strange and different. He also asked her out, in order to avoid going out with him, she made a list of sseveral things he had to do first, all of them being outrageous, almost imposible things. this was her attempt to avoid dating. When he actually did all of the things on her list, which were very difficult things to get, she had to go out on a date with him she felt. Story has it that they went on date and then became somewhat of friends ONLY for several years and didn't date again and they both had other relationships during those years. supposedly,They ran into each other occasionally but not often. Then one night in 2005, many years after she first met him at Canter's, Patricia called Nic out of the blue and asked him to marry her. He said yes. Story has it that At the time he had a girlfriend named Kristen Zang that he was with for over two years. Kristen claimed that Nic and her were engaged and that she even had a ring and that he called her on the phone to break up with her and tell her he was marrying someone else and that he did that hours before he got married to Patricia. The wedding of Nic and Patricia was in Carmel, Ca. near the ocean. Later Kristen Zang went on to date Leonardo DiCaprio.
"Proposed to Patricia Arquette on the day he met her in the early 80s. Arquette thought he was a bit strange but played along with his antics by creating a list of things Cage would have to fulfil to win her. When he started to work his way through the list, Arquette got scared and avoided him. They met again many years later and later went on to marry."
If so, wow, how would you feel if a guy did that when he met you? A bit creepy if it wasn't Nic but if it was, what a turn on! I also found out there that Nic was born the same year as me and that his son Weston, is two days younger than mine!
