YESSSSS omg hahahahah how do you guys find this?

I find it incredible the amount of crap people talk and bring up because you did a good thing for a woman you made your life. Congrats to you for doing anything and everything for your future wife. If everyone stops comparing, you'll notice the amount of originality when asking someone for their hand in marriage is minimal. How many dancing proposals, that bloke with the meme cards, stuff like this... it doesn't even matter really.

It's the main question that counts.

If anything I've learned (an I'm not even remotely close to marriage yet) is what you've done is made the whole experience hers and have done what majority of women want and that's what it ultimately is about.

Congrats again.

Was just looking for this, too. Started reading his story and it sounded quite familiar to something I had read before. Haha.

Regardless, congrats on the engagement.

Just hope your fiancee never finds that story or you might just feel the wrath of a woman who doesn't feel like her engagement was original!

Maybe, instead, the "majority of women" should be concentrating on how to actually make marriages work rather than worrying about the engagement, wedding and honeymoon fairy tales. In my experience weddings that are all about pomp, circumstance and show kinda explain the 40-50% divorce rate.

Bottom line is to use the turtle analogy in keeping the marriage together by keeping her interest level consistently high. Peaks and valleys where too much valleys exist can kill the relationship. Women don't care what you did for her a year ago but how she feels at this very moment with you. Brownie points in this story (in her eyes) is not the stuff that was bought (besides for the diamond) but the time spent to arrange all the settings and family/friends.

Wow congrats OP!

Sounds like a hell of an effort, well done for pulling it off.

You sound very naive when it comes to marriage

You may have what they call "pussy on a pedestal" syndrome

I probably do but when I was talking to a friend of mine who is married, he just put it in a way where an engagement/wedding is basically every girls dream. Maybe I'm wrong, which I probably am since I'm not married.
