Finalized engagement plan

[diamonewb]

Ok, my plan is a photo story. On the day I decide to do this we are going to plan to go out to eat. Halfway to the restaurant I am going to "forget" my wallet. So when we get back to her house I am going to reach under the car seat and hand her a package. I will tell her its a late V-day gift and to go ahead and open it while I am searching for my wallet.

The photo books first page will have a sticky note that says "Read each page carefully before you get out of the car".

Here is the photo book she will see:

The last page will have a sticky not that says "find me inside....I have a pen and the package"

So what do you think?

Your link said this when it opened:


Sorry, an error has occurred, and the page you were trying to go to is temporarily unavailable.
Please click the ''Back'' button to return to the page you were on before.

Weird, its working for me. Maybe shutterfly had a small hiccup when you tried. Try it again.

Anyone else having issues seeing this?

 

[ILikeBond]

I get the same error... maybe you can post a few of the "highlights" right here in the thread?

 

[diamonewb]

What about this link:

[Maisie]

Yes its working now!! She is going to love it!!!

 

[ILikeBond]

That works - very nice! I''m sure she''ll love the trip down memory lane. Its great how you transition into the "huh, what''s going on?" mode talking about her friend helping you out, your trip to Houston, etc. She''s gonna be mighty curious at that point... Thank god she doesn''t have to wait for the images to load like I did!

I''m not sure if its too late to make any edits - and if it is, these are really no big deal - but the natural grammar policeman in me caught a few typos.

On pg. 2, "talked to much" instead of "talked too much"

On pg. 4, "your stuck" instead of "you''re stuck"

Good luck, man!

 

[ImpatientOne]

Gosh, I just love your plan!!!

Good luck, man!

My spelling and grammar are both horrible, and I am 27 lol.

I think she would find it suspicious that I made zero grammar errors Having the grammar errors in it makes it that more personal hehe.

I''ve got tears in my eyes and I don''t even know you both!
Excellent idea!! Very creative, kinda that same thing I''m giving to my boyfriend for Valentines Day, but without the will you marry me part! lol

Yup, and they're not like you're spelling her name wrong or anything.

I doubt she'll even notice though the tears, etc. FYI, I'm 27 too, and proposing in 2 days (V-day, followed by a surprise 5-day vacation/celebration in Amsterdam

). Good luck!

I''m actually crying....it''s that sweet.
I don''t even know you!
It is hands down one of the best proposals ever.

One thing though...what if she tries to insist that she''ll pay for the meal? I only ask because that''s something I would probably do if my boyfriend forgot his wallet.

 

[Efe]

Incredibly touching and thoughtful. She will never, ever forget that you did this for her. Congratulations.

 

[zoebartlett]

I love it! I love proposal and engagement stories. Congrats to you both!!!

 

[rockzilla]

So sweet! getting teary-eyed just looking at it...

 

[partyjewels]

That is soooooooo sweet!!! I too thought about the her offering to pay, because I''d also do that if it was me and my guy. So if that does happen, just remind her that it''s a hefty ticket if you get pulled over without it! And plus you''ll need it if you want to have a drink with dinner. Tell her you''ll be quick about it and look! here''s this late v-day gift to keep her occupied while you go find it .

Really though, it is sooooooo great! I got tears too looking at it! Perfect!

 

[IrishAngel7982]

That is the cutest proposal ever!!!!!!!!! Seriously. I love that your girlfriend will have a book to keep forever remembering this special time. Congratulations!

 

[Anastasia]

That is so sweet! My eyes are filling up!

I''m sure she will be thrilled.

 

[diamonewb]

Wow, seems like I came up with a great idea Judging by the way everyone is reacting I say this is going to work out really well! Much better then my Scavenger hunt idea

I also thought about her offering to pay, but the drinking thing is a great excuse to turn around and get it. I just hope she opens it while waiting in the car.

 

[NYCsparkle]

Adorable proposal....super sweet

 

[BlackDiamond21]

See things like this restore my faith that men really are imaginative!!!

WOW.. I would say yes.... SOOOOOO What happened??? You engaged or what???

 

[MiniMouse]

You''ve choked me up.... that book is fabulous and what a wonderful keepsake. Go for it, she''s going to love it. Just make sure you come back and tell us how it went. We also want to know about the ring.... please!!!

 

[diamonewb]

Well she said yes last night!

Everything went as plan!! She cried a little

She also couldn''t stop staring at the ring and wanted to bring the book with her everywhere afterward! So I think we can put this idea in the books as a A+ idea!!

 

[gail013]

Congrats the book idea was so great!

 

[aljdewey]

SO CUTE! Love it!

VERY creative having everyone hold the signs.
