Let me start out with yesterday, I told her father that I need to speak with him and his wife privately today. You know, to ask permission and all that jazz. I didnt tell him what I needed to talk to him about, but I believe he has a idea. So tonight is the big night for talking to her parents, wish me luck..lol
As far as the proposal...
The last few weeks my girlfriend has been taking me to see this ring that she wants for her graduation from college present, shes 26. It would be a present/promise ring. I already told her she that I would not be able to afford it until the end of the month, and the she would have to wait till her graduation party for me to give it to her.
This coming up Saturday is the day she graduates, and we are going to do the close family thing afterwards. My immediate family and hers will Im sure be going back to her familys home for presents and coffee, yada yada that evening.
This is where I run into my delima, Im not really sure how to present the ring to her. I want to keep the proposal somewhat private, ie not having it at her graduation party with all of our loud friends around hootin and hollering.
I was thinking about giving her the engagment ring just as I would have given her the promise ring. It would already be a "suprise" to her as she would not be expecting the promise ring for another couple weeks. So her intial thoughts would be "Oh ya! Im getting my ring earlier than he told me..." Which would comepletely throw her off guard b.c if the converation we had yesterday about me being broke and not able to save up money, in turn not being able to get the promise ring "in time" for her graduation day.
I know she would be opening the box expecting the promise ring, yet there would be the engagement ring there, then I would say a couple things and ask her to marry me with family around, and cameras able to catch the action.
Do you think this is a good idea, is there anything I could do to add some more flair to it without her getting any ideas of what I was about to do?
She loves daisys, so I am thinking about at least having a boquet of them on the table or where ever...any help or ideas ya''ll could give me would be great! Sorry for the rambling!
