Perhaps you and your girlfriend started out as penpals. If you met on a dating website such as OKCupid or eHarmony, you’re not alone- many people in today’s modern world have found the love of their life by way of the Internet. You wrote letters back and forth, you looked at each other’s pictures, and you eventually worked up the courage to meet in person… and the rest is history. Now that you’re planning your marriage proposal, maybe it’s time to hark back to your beginnings, and incorporate your internet dating past into your present day proposal. Here are few fun ideas for bring past and present together:

Go Back in Time Together

Suggest that it’s time for a trip down memory lane, and revisit your dating profiles. Talk about what you thought when you were reading the profiles for the first time, remember what made you both willing to start a conversation, reread your first tentative messages to each other, and relive how you felt when you were getting ready for your first date. Let the conversation drift to the future… and then bring out the ring.

Bait and Switch

On the other hand, maybe it’s time to leave the past in the past. Suggest you go back and look at your old profiles, but this time, when you get to yours, something will be different: instead of a page designed to woo strangers, have her find the story of your romance. Remake your old profile into an homage to your lives together, and be sure to upload photos of your happiest memories. You can end the story with the all-important question. Be sure to be on one knee by the time she finishes reading.
