Well, I have the ring and it''s time to come up with a proposal scheme. My GF and I have been together from almost 3 years, 2.5 of those years have been spent with her not-so-patiently waiting for this moment.
I''ve had the ring for almost two weeks now, and it''s driving me mad! Unfortunately, I had to go out of town for business last week, so I I wanted to wait until I got back. March 17th will be an anniversary for us, and I was trying to come up with something for that date. Now, I''m not really the "grande gesture" type, and to be honest she''d see it coming a mile away if I did something elaborate. So here''s what I was thinking.....
About 2 years ago, my GF bought this hardcover book with blank pages to use as a sort of a "diary" of our relationship. The idea was for us to occassionally write a little something in it, share romantic or funny stories, use it as a scrapbook and put tickets, brochures, memorobilia stuff in it. However, me being the not-so-romantic type, I haven''t exactly lived up to my end of the bargain. She does occassionally write in it. I have still NEVER written in it. She gets on me once in awhile about writing something, but I always forget about it.
Anyway, I was thinking I''d be waiting for her when she gets home from work with a nice dinner, some flowers, and a Happy Anniversary card of some sort. I''d play it off as if I were just suprising her for our anniversary and say "I even wrote in our journal!" and have it lying on the table. I figured I could write some personal, romantic stuff in there and cut it off at the end of the page, so she''d have to turn the page. On that page I''d attatch a picture of the engagment ring with the words "Will You Marry Me". When she turns the page that''ll be my cue to drop to my knee with ring in hand and make it official! Does that sound too hokey?? I want it to be romantic, yet laid-back which suits our personalities better I think.
So whadya think? Any criticism, suggestions, improvements, etc. are welcome! Thanks!!
