I'm also of the opinion that a marriage proposal shouldn't come as a shock to you. I mean, you can be surprised at the timing of it, or how it was executed, but you shouldn't be blind-sighted by being proposed to. If you're completely surprised by the proposal, then maybe you haven't talked/thought enough about the future with your boyfriend/girlfriend in order to make that kind of commitment.

And sheesh, you people. Most girls aren't asking for huge diamond rings and rose petals everywhere and a saxophone player in the background. Most girls just want something significant and thoughtful. Shlup should post how BJ proposed to her cause the way he did it was simple and sweet and thoughtful but not crazy elaborate.
