Out For The Day

If someone you’re romantically interested in and have been dating proposed to you with a cheese wheel instead of traditional proposal jewelry, would you still accept the proposal?

prev tags: #yes because I was proposed to with my own ring which he stole and gave back to me in a box he’d made#and then we went and bought a ring I liked together#if I wanted the person enough I would accept a courtship gift of cheese as I believe the ritual and contract of engagement is separate from#the VERY REAL consideration of a token of that engagement which you may well keep permanently for a good deal of your life.#in fact I think a cheese wheel proposal followed by a thoughtful visit to the used jewelry shop ticks all the boxes for a proposal.#it must indeed be a CORRECT wheel of cheese. I submit a Parmesan for reasons that will be clear in a moment.#this indicates your desirability as a mate and the resources you promise to provide.#you then purchase reasonably priced token(s) of permanent commitment together as it is generally a strange idea to surprise someone with a#permanent token and the implied test of ‘knowing them well enough to pick what they’d like’ is a little bit absurd tbh!!#then. At the wedding. you share out the cheese. this is why i suggest a Parmesan. it keeps well#and you could include it in the meal.#this concludes my suggestion for an effective new ritual that allows everyone the pleasure of pondering proposal cheeses#and working out how to hide a really big cheese and conceal it for a surprise proposal#which I think you’ll agree is much better and funnier than many current traditions around the world#I think there are some cultures that do this or something similar but my vision here is an absolute 1:1 replacement of the ring idea#go down on one knee and heft a cheese.#people in Gloucestershire: do NOT do this near a hill.#obviously the most correct proposal is one where both of you pull out a cheese
