The way I want to propose to Jessie is;
Take her out to a nice restaurant....maybe with a few of her family. Excuse yourself to use the restroom and find an English speaking waiter, get him to find you a flower, any flower will do....but preferably a rose...maybe one of those elegant blue roses that was talked about in these forums....after that, take the ring out of the box and slip it up the stem so the ring rests over the leaves. Make sure the leaves are sturdy enough to hold the ring, of course. After this is done, ask the waiter to bring the flower and a bottle of wine(I don't drink, the wine would be for the rest of the family) to the table, setting the flower directly in front of your lady. As she notices it, get on your knee and tell her how much she means to you in front of her (And soon to be your) family. Remove the ring from the flower stem and place it on her finger as she smiles at you with her eyes and lips, as she says "yes". And then KISS her! haha I wrote that as if this idea was for you, Josh.....but I give you permission to use it. Just don't tell your lady or mine. :icon_rolleyes: If you think it's good enough, please let me know if you use it and how it went. :icon_biggrin:
I wrote this a long long time ago. If you want to use this on your lady, go for it. But don't claim credit for writing it. It's simple prose and maybe even a little cheesy, but I'm sure your lady will like it.
YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING
If there were a day I could say the way i truly feel inside.
Then, that day could I say, having love, when separate minds collide?
Emotions are over coming when you love someone so loving.
Are these real? Will they last? I want to know, of course they will, they'll grow.
Is there another way I can tell you the way it is I feel?
Constant loving feelings, I miss you, want you, I love your appeal.
If there were a way you could stay, hold me then, all night and all day.
That's what I would like, for you to be here and never disappear.
I was looking for love, I found it. Happy I didn't give up.
You are my blood in my veins, sparkle in my eyes, light of my day.
You are my blind spot which I can not see, please remove it for me.
I want to see as much as I can, if not one hundred percent.
You are my everything, my love an offering, my diamond ring.
you are my reasoning, for loving anything, why I'm living.
