Proposals and Vows

Does your boyfriend or girlfriend have a favorite hobby that he/she likes and you want to create a unique way to propose? This idea works great for those that can’t muster up enough courage to “pop the question,” but are still looking for a unique way to propose. Sports, animals, titles of books, and other hobbies make excellent resources for this idea, and for our example we will use animals. First, find pictures of different animals with your proposal question. “M-A-R-R-Y M-E” is a good choice, so try to locate the following animals (just for this example, remember to use their favorite interest). For the example, I have chosen the following: M – monkey A – aardvark R – rabbit R – rat Y – yak M – monitor E – eel Now, arrange all of this pictures sequentially so the puzzle can be easily guessed, but don’t write out the “marry me”, as that is how the puzzle is solved. A good way would to have all of the pictures arranged in a left-hand column and have some room to the right of the column for your boyfriend/girlfriend to write what the picture is. At the bottom of the display, put a “?” to let them know it is a question. Also, you will want to explain that this is a puzzle, and the answer is derived from taking a letter from each of the words to make a statement. Also, if you want to be more specific, you could say the first word has 5 letters (and would be the first five animals) and the second word has two letters (and would be the last two animals). If after some time, he/she still needs additional help, you can always mention to try the first letters from each word. This unique idea is very inexpensive, and if shipped to a long-distance girlfriend/boyfriend can be delivered electronically via a PowerPoint presentation.
