Proposal To Mary
For a long time I have tried to find a special way to propose marriage to my girlfriend Mary, whom I know for five years now. I wanted it very special, romantic and memorable, something our grandchildren would still remember.
The Idea
And here is my idea: I will send out the proposal to Mary to 50 complete strangers, people I don't know – hoping, that they will forward my proposal to as many people as possible, which in turn forward it etc. And some day, I hope, it will reach Mary, after it has travelled a very long way. I know, it will take a long time and I am quite nervous…
From the poem my Mary will know immediately that the proposal is for her.
Will Mary say "YES"?
Once the proposal has reached Mary, I will put a note on these pages. Also I will publish here how many people have read the proposal so that everybody can see how far it has spread and that it is getting closer to Mary (have a look at the news section).
And of course you will find here what I am waiting for most: Mary's answer! I can't tell you, how nervous I am… Will she accept my proposal? Will she like the unusual way how she got it, through the hands of thousands of messengers all over the world?
Help me to reach Mary!
Please cross your fingers for me!
And please – also help me by sending the mail to as many people as possible, to help it spread, so that it eventually reaches Mary. The full text of the mail can be found here.
Also please leave a few greetings for Mary in the guestbook. I will later print it for her so she can keep it as a memory. It will show how many people were involved and how everything happened…
