Make a Scrapbook With a Secret Code Proposal
by Oliver
(Portland)
Does your partner like crosswords and puzzles?
...Make her a scrapbook or zine of your dating history (ticket stubs, pictures, memories you write down) and create a secret code for her along the bottom of the page.
Give her the book as the "first present" and tell her that she'll get a second present when she cracks the code.
Be ready with the ring or whatever you're giving her for the engagement gift and have the code spell out "Will you marry me."
This gift can be very personal and intimate, it can be done in a special place or at home alone together.
It would fit in well with a more elaborate plan but is sweet in it's own simplicity.
Good Luck!
