Alright guys, it appears the time has come to do the thing I never imagined myself doing (especialy at 27 years old)....proposing to my girlfriend!
Caroline and I have been together just about 3 years and they have been great. We very seldom get into arguments, we give each other the space we need, and I love being with her. She has been such a great help with the house I recently purchased and of course being a wonderful mommy to Rocco. I should be getting the ring this coming weekend, my jeweler is keeping me updated on the progress there. I was thinking of doing it sometime in November to kind of catch her off guard. She has a Bachelor's in Biology and is finishing up her BSN (Nursing) at Rutgers so will be graduating in December. Her birthday falls in December as well. So I think she would be expecting something at that point in time so that is why I'm shooting for Nov. Of course, I have the last obstacle of asking her father, but I'm fairly confident I will get his approval lol.
So the dilemma is this: I want to propose of course in a cute and memorable way, but I want to incorporate Rocco into it somehow. Does anybody have any ideas on how this can be accomplished in a not-so cliche way? Has anybody done something similar to this? If I can't figure it out, I'm going to have to think of something else altogether lol. I'm really open to all ideas but Rocco being invlolved somehow would just be awesome. I feel like I've helped friends brainstorm for clever proposal ideas and now that it's my turn, I can't think of anything! haha
Thanks in advance for any and all help!
