The ABC's of Proposing

Submitted by: Michael Scott
For my proposal, I made 12 note cards called "The ABC's of Love". Each card was inscribed with a phrase about my love for my soon-to-be wife, each of the 12 phrases beginning with a successive letter of the alphabet (eg, "I Accept you as you are", "I Believe you are valuable"). Each card also had a single, cryptic letter -- the letters were a scrambled "will u marry me".
Then I bought a dozen red roses, and paired each card with a rose, and left them at key spots where Julie would find them. The first i snuck into her car the night before, so she would find it as she left for work. The second was where she worked, and so on.
Several of the card/rose combos were left with clerks at certain mall stores. That evening, I took her to each store, bought her a little gift, and then the clerk would pull out the surprise. This continued on to dinner, where another surprise was waiting at our table when we arrived. Still another card arrived with the check.
By the time we finished dessert, she had 11 cards. I had saved the final card ("I Join as one") for our stroll to a quaint gazebo in the park. I pulled out the final card, and the engagement ring, got down on one knee, and asked this beautiful woman to marry me.
