As I briefly mentioned in Lord of Midgard's "What Would You Like For Christmas?" thread, I'm hoping/planning to pop the "big question" to my girlfriend at Christmas. I'm certain she'll say "Yes", given the conversations we've had about that recently.
Those of my friends here who know anything about my relationship know just how well it's all going, and though the time we've been together may still be relatively short from other peoples' perspectives, I just know that now's the time to do it.
Here's a link to my "My Weekend..." thread, which details some of it (WARNING: some heavy reading involved).
Anyway, what convinces me now's the opportune time for it, is that there's no apprehension or anything on my part. I'm 100% absolutely confident of it. I simply feel it in my bones, and I believe this is one of those times I should just go with my gut instinct.
I've been looking for an ideal ring, and found a couple ones that could "fit the bill", as it were, one of which I plan on picking up this Thursday (my next day off). Just trying to figure out how to creatively "pop the question" to her. I want it to be different, and therefore memorable.
I was thinking of hanging the ring on the tree like a Christmas ornament, and though kinda cheesy, I wrote a simple little poem for this special occasion. As I'm working on a limited budget, it's nothing extravagant or anything, but I'd like to think it could work for a memorable proposal.
It would also make for one helluva memorable first Christmas together, lol.
So, what are your thoughts, my friends? Comments and suggestions are welcome :cool
