We watched Role Models on our first date. Finding out we have similar senses of humor (childish and in the gutter) was step 1 in realizing she was the one for me.

Sorry for the replies and ratings to days old posts. I haven't had much chance to be online and just catching up.
Also, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom @Cyclones_R_GR8, I dread when that day comes for my parents.

Coming up on 25 for us...we started dating in August, he proposed on Mother's Day...
Lew was splitting logs, discovered that working with cottonwood makes him break out in hives. Any contact with plants you don't normally come in contact with? Any poison ivy/oak in the fields you were harvesting?
Zyrtec (pill) or Benadryl (ointment/cream) help a lot.
About the same timeline for us. We started dating in mid September and I proposed in May. I swore I wouldn't propose on a holiday, but I screwed up and didn't realize it was May Day.
Did you give her a ring in a May Basket and run away so she had to chase you to give you a kiss?
Unfortunately nothing that cool, I flew out to DC where she was working for a couple weeks and proposed at the base of the Washington Monument, her favorite of the structures in DC. I honestly had no idea it was May Day until she reminded me afterwards and ridiculed me for proposing on a holiday.
My wife often thinks of me when she thinks of the Washington Monument.
How is that not cool? Cut yourself some slack.
I don't think May Day counts outside of Iowa or Russia.
Eh, I was being facetious. I was pretty proud of it as it took a considerable amount of planning, and she was genuinely surprised even though we had been talking about it for months by that time.
Well, the "just looking" stage didn't last long. My purchase arrives to the store on Monday. Now the hard part will be not giving it to her until our agreed amount of time has passed. I'm giving it to my mom to hold on to in the meantime because I know I would absolutely give it to her early if I hold on to it.
"Places I never visit for $1,000, Alex"? (referring to your "monument").

Good idea, that thing can eat at you. I was like Gollum from Lord of the Rings after I picked it up. I found myself taking it out and looking at it almost every night until I gave it to her. Partly because I was so excited and partly that I wanted to make sure I didn't lose it or forget where I put it.
Exactly. I picked ours up before we went to Mexico. I pretty much kept it in my pocket and kept a hand on that leg of my shorts until I finally proposed.
