I've decided to ask my Girlfriend to marry me. Thanks to the Maryland Law passing!
We are trying to have a baby.. She is my best friend and was my best friend before dating. She makes me a better person and overall I have never been so content and happy!
I've known her for many years and always thought about her. We both were in relationships, but remained friends. We worked together too. My Girlfriend of 5 years and hers of 6 years broke up with us a month apart for similar reasons. We were there for each other strictly as friends for over a year.. Everyone would make comments of how we were meant for each other and that we needed to give dating a try, etc but she was my best friend.. I never expected to fall in love with her. Finally, we both realized what we wanted and that was each other. It has been amazing since.
At one point she knew I was looking at rings, but I made her believe I couldn't afford one now. I've had the ring and I am just waiting for the perfect time and way.
Any ideas creative people??
We are not into the normal cliche stuff.. No scenic places or fine dining. We are the more fun, humorous type. Nothing public.
Whenever our friends ask when we are getting married we joke that we can't decide who is going to get down on one knee first, so I thought about tying the ring to my shoe and asking her to tie it so she has to get down on one knee. LOL that isn't my favorite idea though..
I thought about tying it to the dog.. A scavenger hunt.. Not exactly what I want..
She is obsessed with DVDs so I also thought about buying her a couple DVDs and inbetween the real ones making a customer DVD cover with the ring inside..
It isn't uncommon for me to leave a paper trail of love notes or graffiti the bathroom mirror with messages.. Or notes with her lunch or work supplies.
Ugh.. Ideas please?
Thanks!
