GREAT PROPOSAL IDEAS
Proposing to your sweetheart should be well thought out and planned. It should create
a good story that can be told and re-told to your kids, etc. Keep in mind
your fiance's personality; i.e., if she doesn't like to be embarrassed
then don't put her on the spot; if she's outgoing then something public
might be fun. Traditionally, you should have the ring to do your proposing
with. Whatever you do, make it memorable! And make it "you".
Here's a story of one of our customer's (we'll call him Mr. X) experiences that was not planned
but definitely memorable:
Mr. X had dated this girl pretty seriously (even to the point of looking at rings), but because of
his lack of commitment, they quit dating. Three months went by and Mr. X decided he was a fool not to marry her.
So he came into our store to get the ring they had looked at three months prior. He said he wanted
to buy it and go propose to her. We knew something was very wrong because that very morning, Mr. Y, a suitor,
had been in with Mr. X's girl. They had picked out the same ring, which was now on hold awaiting
an imminent commitment from Mr. Y. We told Mr. X about Mr. Y. Panicked, Mr. X hurried back to campus, went straight
into the middle of her physics class, and proposed on the spot. She looked at him with a mixture of
indignation, frustration, and anger, and said, "Damn you Mr. X!" Within the week Mr. X was happily
engaged to her, and they are married, 25 years!
