Take a knee

For all you youngsters out there that need to still acquire some life skills...here's a good one.

Marriage Proposal: With proper planning and execution this can be both romantic (which she will like) and memorable (which she will like).

Case in Point - My stepson Ian: Yesterday he proposed to his girlfriend, Jill in the shopping mall where he first met her. At first take, that may not sound too romantic. But, he did it in exactly the same place inside the same mall. This earns bonus points. Secondly, he chose the classic "one knee" proposal position. When you do this in a public place, it is worth tons of extra credit. Thirdly, he had a ring...in a box...with a hinge. Good call. It was also a surprise to her, and all of us parents came out of the woodwork at the appropriate time.

We all went out for dinner and it was a very nice evening.

All I can say is, "Well done".
