In an incredible display of adorable creativity, redditor ppaul9 wrote a children’s book about his relationship with his girlfriend in order to propose to her. After having it illustrated and printed, he worked with a covert photographer who stuck the book in the kids section of their local library and then waited behind some shelves to document the proposal. While they were on a date, the couple stopped at the library to return some books and check out some more for the girlfriend’s nieces and nephews. The boyfriend pulled out his book, told her it looked like a good one, and asked her to read it to him.
When she got to the page in the story about the gorilla proposing to the giraffe in a library, he got down on one knee and replicated the scene in real life.
The Story
There once was a gorilla
That fell for a giraffe.
She surprised him by how much
She could make him laugh.
That fell for a giraffe.
She surprised him by how much
She could make him laugh.
In spite of their differences,
It was love at first sight.
His feelings grew quickly,
His heart took to flight.
It was love at first sight.
His feelings grew quickly,
His heart took to flight.
The gorilla, his life,
Unpolished and scattered
Now refined and focused
On those things that matter.
Unpolished and scattered
Now refined and focused
On those things that matter.
There were simply no words
For how lucky he’d gotten.
Without her by his side
Life would surely be rotten.
For how lucky he’d gotten.
Without her by his side
Life would surely be rotten.
He felt his heart beating
Right out of his chest.
He could do nothing but wait
And hope she’d say YES.
Right out of his chest.
He could do nothing but wait
And hope she’d say YES.
When she finally answered
He could not stop grinning
Because he knew, in his heart,
This was just The Beginning!
He could not stop grinning
Because he knew, in his heart,
This was just The Beginning!
