Propose on my Graduation?

[gatrejo]

So I am graduating this weekend. I already have the ring, and I''m ready. I invited her family and friends along with my family and friends for a graduation dinner. Would it be selfish of me to propose on my own graduation? Or should I wait for another opportunity?

It would be, however, a complete surprise to everyone.

Feeling hesitant, need reassurance....

Gatrejo,

I think that proposing on your graduation is a great idea. Not selfish at all. It is a new phase in your life and it would be an appropriate way to show her that she is an important part of that new phase.

One thought, however, is that life is pretty hectic post-graduation (I worked for many years before pursuing grad-school). You might consider waiting for things to settle down after you graduate and then popping the Q. This would allow you to adjust to post-school life. It might also give you something to break up the monotony of the day-to-day grind.

Just a thought. You choose.

As a female I really like the idea. Both his and my family were there when we got engaged and it was really nice to share the occasion with them....also if you let someone know whats going to happen you will have some great pics you can always remember the moment by.
