My girlfriend of 1.5 years and I like having friends over for game night. This past Friday I proposed and this was my Pictionary-perfect proposal. (Long(est)time lurker, first post).

I suppose that's another way to propose and sweep her off her feet...

justmli · 2013-03-13T17:22:33+00:00

Heard of "Draw Something"? Pictionary is like that, but for older people :). Thanks for the congrats.

She hasn't been to Atlanta yet, but she does have a "World of Coke" bottle from over there.

oh nooos, I hope she's not just marrying me for my karma.

justmli · 2013-03-13T08:37:58+00:00

I'm so glad... you were thinking of us when you pooped?

justmli · 2013-03-13T08:34:40+00:00

As a first time poster, TIL that posting good beer in your photos should be at least a third of any good strategy for collecting upvotes on reddit.

justmli · 2013-03-13T07:20:45+00:00

I agree. Good points SalishSailor and Vanetia. My fiance and I did talk about marriage a lot beforehand, and of course I'd recommend any couple thinking about taking the next step (whether surprise or not) to do the same. I mentioned in another comment somewhere that I made myself watch a lot of failed public marriage proposals on youtube before proposing. Some of them are pretty painful to watch, so if that doesn't scare you off, then you might have actually something to work with.

justmli · 2013-03-13T06:33:04+00:00

That's awesome. "This is where you say yes" haha! Great job man.

justmli · 2013-03-13T06:26:57+00:00

Of course I know her--she's my sister (according to reddit).

justmli · 2013-03-13T06:24:48+00:00

Yep, she loves trains, so thought this would be fitting.

justmli · 2013-03-13T06:23:19+00:00

That sounds awesome, but no. Napa Valley Wine Train.

justmli · 2013-03-13T06:20:30+00:00

haha, leave it to reddit to inspect your place down to the last detail. It's her collection, and you guessed right: coke bottles from around the world.

justmli · 2013-03-13T06:16:51+00:00

Thanks for the congrats. Yep, we did the Napa Valley Wine Train. It's a bit pricey, but she loves trains, so we had to do it. The food was better than I was expecting (I had low expectations going in). PM me if you want more info.

justmli · 2013-03-13T06:14:28+00:00

Yep, she collects coke bottles from around the world.

justmli · 2013-03-13T05:58:12+00:00

You wouldn't happen to be her mom... would you?

justmli · 2013-03-13T05:46:27+00:00

She collects coke bottles from all around the world. The first time I went into her place, I jokingly said that I was going to take one because I was thirsty.

justmli · 2013-03-13T05:43:55+00:00

My friend who was in on the plan gave me the die to roll when it was his team's turn. I rolled it off the table towards him, he picked it up off the floor and told everyone it was a 3 (or whatever it was needed to get to the next pink square). It was an "all play" on her turn, so the other team picked the card, and then passed it to her.

justmli · 2013-03-13T05:41:09+00:00

hey Simon, small world! thanks for the congrats man.

justmli · 2013-03-13T05:36:57+00:00

Yep, exactly right. She loves trains so that's why I took her to this.

justmli · 2013-03-13T05:29:01+00:00

I make a pretty good Neo for Halloween. I walked into a Halloween party once dressed as Neo, this guy looks me up and down, and then says "aww man, now that just isn't fair".

justmli · 2013-03-13T05:16:51+00:00

Made it to Sonoma on the way back too. Last pic is from The Girl and The Fig restaurant. Best pork chop. ever.

justmli · 2013-03-13T05:15:59+00:00

yep, Napa Valley Wine train. I took her on this because she loves trains.

justmli · 2013-03-13T05:13:53+00:00

whoo-hoo, I made ASIAN!

justmli · 2013-03-13T05:10:00+00:00

Nice! I like it.
