Geocaching Proposal

On June 14th, 2008 a plot to surprise my girlfriend came to fruition. After much planning, and with the assistance of her brother (Jack) and sister-in-law (Jen), the day finally arrived when I would ask my girlfriend to marry me.

She was convinced I wouldn't ask until sometime between August '08 and May '09, and I was driven to make sure I did it before then.

The plan went off without a hitch:
A week prior, I scouted some locations, and chose a quaint little park in Nahant, called Marjoram Park. Using my GPS, I got the coordinates of the spot, and gave them to Jack, who is usually the planner of our geocaching trips.

The morning of the proposal day, Jen took Wendy to a yoga class so I could go over to her house and ask her parents' blessing, which they happily gave.

After yoga, Wendy and Jen returned home, and I was already there. We were told 10:30 am would be the start time. I showed up "late" but they got back from the class later. After Wendy and Jen got changed, we left to have some lunch, and start what Wendy thought would be a day filled with geocaching...

***For those that don't know, geocaching is sort of like scavenger hunting with the use of a GPS.

Damn she must really love him, how sweet :]

[charliew77]

@MelissaMees That she does. That she does.

I plan on doing this, except ring will be in the geocache container and she will be using the GPS to find it.

@iamthelazerviking I thought of doing that as well. I won't try to talk you out of it, but the cons far out weighted the pros. In doing that. Plus I just felt better knowing the ring was kept safe. If you happen to record it, be sure to come back and link to it!

"I can't even see." Those tears of joy must really have clouded her vision. Congratulations!

[charliew77]

@dewerk Thanks! She said that as soon as I got down on my knee, tears started shooting out of her eyes. Projectile crying exists, apparently.
