Hey guys,
A few months ago, I posted a thread as Secret Poster about wanting to propose to my SO. Surprise, it was me!
Now, before you all think I'm crazy, let me explain my reasoning:
My SO and I have been talking extensively about our future the last few months. We're not sure who will be the one to move, TBH, but we both want to be with each other. We know that the "easiest" way to do this would be to marry and get a green card, although I know from many experienced LFADers that even this option isn't exactly easy. However, Despite the 6,000 mile distance between us, and despite the fact that we only see each other twice a year, he is the love of my life, and there's no one else I'd rather spend mine with!

He's mentioned that he wants to propose, but he doesn't feel that it would be right at the moment because he currently has no job prospects in the US, and he wants to be assured that he can support me. I've told him that doesn't matter to me, but I suppose it's a guy mentality. So, I've decided to take matters into my own hands and show him how much I want to be with him. I'm planning on proposing to him on Tuesday when he gets home from work! I will propose to him at this park near his apartment: http://www.potsdam-park-sanssouci.de/home.html

I'm planning a sort of fun treasure hunt for him. When he gets home, he'll find a letter telling him to walk to the park. The letter will give him clues as to where he can find the first "treasure", which I'll hide inside an Easter egg. Inside the egg will be a candy and a note which will lead him to the next clue. I'm going to hide 8 eggs throughout the park, which will eventually lead him to me Once he gets to me, I'll have a final egg for him with his name written on it in Georgian. (My SO is half German, half Georgian). Inside will be a final note that says in German, "Will you marry me?"
I'm not planning on getting him a ring, or getting down on one knee. I'm just going to tell him how much I love him and want to be with him, and ask him to marry me. I do want to get him a nice gift, though. I would get him a nice watch, but I already bought him one a few years ago, so I feel that would be redundant. I'm thinking of an engraved money clip, perhaps. Or, maybe someone on here has other ideas?

Of course, I'm nervous as hell about this! Not because I feel like I'm making a mistake, but because it's such a life changing moment. I also haven't told anyone about this- not my friends or my family. I'd be lying if I said it doesn't make me nervous to tell them, because I'm wondering what they will think of this, even though they all love my SO. But, I'm trying to remember that this is about me and my SO above all

Well, if you made it through this novel- thank you
Wish me luck, dear friends!
