Proposing With A Puppy

Postby Osiris » Sun Dec 11, 2011 10:05 pm

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: http://coolbyintent.com/engagement-ring

Feel free to read about how nervous I was, "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.

Congrats!

Your fiance looks like someone I went to college with (I know its not her) so I am guessing she might be Scandinavian. If so welcome to the tribe!

She 100% Swedish. Occasionally I get Swedish babble in my ear and have no idea what she's talking about.
