I have to talk about proposals for a quick minute. I just have to.
For the past three days, people on my Facebook have been submitting their marriage proposal stories to a website for a competition. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for your typical romantic/cheesy/over-the-top proposal, but some of these tales have been quite amusing to me. Dear Future husband-to-be, please do not take me out into a field or in the middle of the woods and have a pre-set dinner waiting for me where you proceed to ask me to dance and/or serenade me with a tune. I have always dreamed of my proposal being over-the-top, I can admit that. I like the idea of my fiance having put a lot of thought and effort into proposing. Still yet, I want to be surprised. I don’t want to be mid-hike through the forest or mid-ride in a horse-drawn carriage when I realize what is about to go down. I would prefer the proposal to take me by complete surprise, when I’m least expecting it. Does that mean I want to merely be out to dinner and him pop the question across the table? No, absolutely not, I’d definitely be disappointed if that were the case. All I’m saying is, guys, in your attempt to create this grand situation, don’t make it blatantly obvious what is about to happen. Take her breath away instead of taking the surprise away.
