My boyfriend and I were together for three years when I decided we should go to the next level. I knew we couldn't afford the ring I wanted right now and I wasn't going to settle for anything less. I decided to propose to him. First I asked all of his guy friends if it would be a good idea. They all thought it was awesome. I planned it out for his birthday. I bought the ring and had a special message engraved inside of it. On his birthay I rented a motel room, without him knowing. I blew up a bunch of balloons and put little pieces of paper in them that said..pick a lingerie...I love you.etc. the last one had the room key in it and said to meet me a room 236. He met me and I gave him all of his other presents and the last was the ring. He of course said yes and the rest is history. (Fally)
