I got engaged last Saturday, and I asked her in a jumble. (if you don't know what a jumble is, it's a word puzzle where you unscramble letters to form words. You can find it alongside the comics in the Daily News)
Anyway I thought it was a pretty cool way of doing the deed and thought you creative types might appreciate it.
Check out the first 3 pics on my blog to see what I am talking about.

haha, nice.
So you called up the paper and arranged this? Does she do the jumble daily, or were you like, "Yo, do this jumble!"

I scanned in the jumble from the paper, and recreated my own. Bought real newspaper (different then newsprint) and with the help of the studio at work printed the front and back of the spread with the jumble on it.
I brought home like 5 papers on Friday night since she likes to do the jumble, I told her I saved them for her and we can do them in the morning. That morning after breakfast we went through the papers one by one until we got to the "special" paper which I threw my fake spread into. She was so involved in jumble land from the first 4 papers we did that she took it hook line and sinker.
The "S" in "yous" was some artistic license cause I needed an "S" for the final answer which of course is "YES". It worked out
because it threw her off which caused her to fill out the last two words and then look at the bottom line where yesterdays answers usually appear. Instead of yesterdays answers it said "Yes Lauren I am asking you to marry me" . She started crying (happy tears I think:)
and I pulled out a box with the ring in it from the couch where I hid it the night before and opened it and in front of the real ring was a paper cut out of the diamond ring in the jumble.
