I didn't know where else to post this, but I feel it's announcement worthy. Yesterday I proposed to my girlfriend of 5 years.
The story and cute pictures can be found here:

A thousand questions went through my head - what if the dog bites her? what if she comes in and says, ‘”why the hell is there a dog in the house?” what if she’s having a terrible day? what if I’m not wearing the right clothes? what if she runs into the bathroom the second she gets in the door and left I’m sitting here like a chump, twiddling my thumbs while this dog falls asleep? what if the dog pukes on her or something awful? what if what if what if!" and mock accordingly.
Protip: Taking a shot before proposing is recommended, just to relieve some of the tension. Hindsight is 20/20.
