So i've decided to start writing this, mainly for myself (i doubt anyone else will read this), because boredom is a horrible thing.
Awhile ago, 2 friends and I started collecting things to write in a book. Initially we were going to do "things we learnt the hard way", but then we read this awesome series by Erynn Mangum in which the girl is proposed to with oreos... lets just say, i now have a new dream.
So, in the off chance that someone wishing to become my fiance (or someone else's) is reading this, I shall teach you the proper etiquette of proposing with oreos.
1) Make sure the proposal is slightly unexpected... Don't take her out to a fancy restaurant with the obvious intention of proposing. It's cliched. Instead, take her for a picnic, ice skating, to your backyard... anywhere which is romantic, but not obvious. Oreos should not be out of place where you take her, either.
2) Present the oreos as a snack... Again, this comes under the surprise part. Don't just start babbling and hand her a packet of chocolate goodness, it'd be awkward. Breath, and hand her the packet. Also, it's a good idea if you pretend to open them for her... otherwise she may become suspicious that the packet is already open, which it will have to be, because...
3) The ring/ring box should be in the middle of the packet... take out as many oreos as necessary and place in the ring/box. Placing the box in is what i'd do, but be careful to get a small enough box that it'll fit inside the packet. If you can see the corners through the packaging, it's a bit of a give away.
4) When she gets to the ring, get down on one knee (or up, if you were sitting...) and ask her to marry you.
Follow these rules, and with a little bit of luck she'll say yes before you could say "oreos are little pieces of chocolate goodness".
Good luck ;)
