of online proposals

[low_delta]

It didn't occur to me until later that people wouldn't realize that Cindy and I were together when I made my proposal. Not that I thought they'd think we were apart - I just hadn't given it any thought at all. We're always together on weekends, unless I'm away for a scout outing or something.

When she was checking her e-mail I was wandering around in the background, trying to keep busy. When she finally went to LJ I was brushing my teeth, so I had to finish that up in a hurry. The hitch came when she took the time to thank me for the ring, rather than clicking on to the next link. that was kind of a "duh" moment. If I had realized that would happen, I'm not sure if I would have gone through with this method of proposal - I can't think of a way around that. She was a bit uncomfortable because she didn't know if it was that sort of ring or not. And of course it fit that finger, but I wasn't saying much of anything. Then she remembered to click the link.

Then I was kneeling next to her. Well, not kneeling like that, but just kneeling on the floor next to her as I often do when she's on the computer. So were together, and I do consider myself to have proposed in person. Besides, even if I had said the words out loud, I still might have read them. I didn't really want to leave them up to chance.

I realize it might not have been the most perfect marriage proposal, but we're both very happy with how it turned out.

Seems pretty damn perfect to me!

And thanks for the explanation. I don't know why, but I had assumed Cyn was at her house and you were at your house when she read your proposal. It makes much more sense that you were with her at the time.

You two are such a great couple. I'm just so glad that I've been privvy to so much of your getting together, from the very start.

I thought it was really cool and romantic. :) I got a little teary when I read it. ;) I'm so much better at expressing myself in written form, I would be likely to do something similar, whether on paper or whatnot.

Thanks for giving us more background on what happened. Congratulations to the both of you, and kudos for choosing such a pretty ring.

You gave her the ring and you asked her, and she said yes. That's the right thing to happen. I like the way you did it, and I hope Cindy does too.

Yeah, that's how I saw it too. :-)

I also wasn't thinking about people thinking you were apart at the time of the proposal. I knew Cindy was at your place that morning. So I pretty much imagined it the way it actually happened.
