It's the end of simply getting down on one knee it seems!

This creative boyfriend came up with a really lovely way to propose to his unsuspecting other half.

He wrote and illustrated a children’s book and made sure that his girlfriend stumbled across it while at the library. She read it aloud and at the right moment he dropped down on one knee and popped the question.

She said “yes!”

Here’s the story he wrote for his bride-to-be:

A Tall Tale

There once was a gorilla That fell for a giraffe. She surprised him by how much She could make him laugh.

The two, you see, Were from different worlds Their first date, so nervous,
He’d certainly hurl.

In spite of their differences,
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.

There were simply no words For how lucky he’d gotten. Without her by his side Life would surely be rotten.

It’s hard to believe Just how happy they were. He could not imagine Even one day without her.

So he got on one knee And uttered the plea: “My dearest giraffe, Will you marry me?”

He felt his heart beating 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!
