Sooo... my girlfriend proposed recently. At a christmas party. In front of all our friends.
I froze up for 10 seconds and cried a little... it was so awkward and embarrassing... My daughter even laughed at me,

3 things you should know before proceeding:

So a few things: Number 1, this is a lesbian marraige. Go yourself if you have a problem with that, it's legal in australia.
Number 2, yes, my shy girlfriend proposed to me because I was way to embarrassed to ever do it.
Number 3, no, you aren't invited.

Mini Update:

This is more of a little update on why I'm not posting much. We're planning a lot for the wedding and we were also on holiday. On top of that my daughter is back at school now, so things have been crazy. So unfortunately no bots for a while, but I appreciate all the ideas on the last suggestions bot, I have a few ideas thanks to them.

STORY OF THE PROPOSAL:

Party. Her family. Our friends. Only my younger brother was there, since my parents don't approve of my relationship since they are against being /lesbian.
Basically, everyone I cared about was there.

I was drinking. A lot, I will admit, but I have a strong alchohol tolerance. Our daughter was hanging out with her cousins. And then right before midnight eveyone just stared at me and my girlfriend and she proposed.
I froze up like a deer in headlights.

Panic. I started hyperventilating, almost crying, and just stood there for 10 seconds super awkwardly before saying "Okay" super quietly.
Then my traitorous daughter spoke up and said "Are you crying?"
Everyone laughed.

Now there is a 20 second video of me looking like a moron, half crying, blushing, eyes wide and frozen still.

Moral of the story: Be the one to propose, otherwise you won't be mentally prepared to say a single word in front of everyone you care about.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed the little update I wanted to share this since everyone I already know was actually aware of the proposal before I was, even my daughter.
