5.

6.

Confusion - OH MY GOD - THIS IS SOOOO COMPLICATED!

7.

Wait for the ring to come in the mail. If I update the FedEx web page every 5 seconds will the ring get here faster?!?!

Come up with the perfect plan to propose in a way that is guaranteed to bring tears (the ones of joy silly!).

(This is the stage I'm at now - the rest I can only guess but...)
