"   A proposal that gives you chocolate AND a toy? SATSG LAURA says yes... One of the most important things to do when you&amp;#039;re single - and especially when you write about being single - is smash all hell out of the stupid myths that surround us not-currently-coupled types, so people can stop making annoying assumptions about you and maybe have a look at their own life actually? You know - that we&amp;#039;re all desperately unhappy, or just want a (any) boyfriend, or aren&amp;#039;t living a life of exciting adventure, where awesome sex is just around the corner and we don&amp;#039;t have to put up with dreadful shoes or a love of psy-trance. And one of the most important myths to hammer into tiny pieces, grind into dust, hoover up, then extravagantly throw the hoover away, is that we can&amp;#039;t be happy for other couples. Because we really can. For a start we&amp;#039;ve been one of those couples before. And while it might have been a while, we&amp;#039;re pretty keen to experience it again. And hope that, should eventuality occur, other people would be happy for us in the constant snogging, endless sex-having, &amp;#039;that couple&amp;#039; disgustingness of it all. BECAUSE IT&amp;#039;S THE BEST FEELING EVER. Anyway, I was reminded of this exact sitch last week when I read about the FRANKLY AMAZING PROPOSAL that New York blogger Lori Richmond received from her now husband and all round unquestionably awesome dude Matthew nine years ago. Rather than write it on the sky with an aeroplane (cliched), or assemble a 100 strong serenading dance troupe of friends and family (annoying) to pop the question, Matthew took the much more creative and super personal route of Kinder Surprising her with a specially made proposal egg, because it was something the couple often bought each other. And it wasn&amp;#039;t just a case of hiding a ring in there - Matthew created an entirely bespoke, buildable &amp;#039;Matthew&amp;#039; toy to hold the actual engagement ring, complete with Kinder style instructions and his head photoshopped in throughout. It&amp;#039;s like LITERALLY THE BEST PROPOSAL EVER! Firstly it involves Kinder - which is both chocolate and a surprise - so massive win right there. Secondly it&amp;#039;s super personal, and so cute/thoughtful/lovely/quirky NO ONE - even the most curmudgeonly non romantic - could fail to find this sweet. Thirdly - he did a brilliant job. Like if I got this toy in a Kinder Egg - even without the diamond ring, which might not prove cost effective for Kinder overall - I&amp;#039;d be seriously happy. So basically Matthew - BIG FAT AWESOME PROPOSAL HIGH FIVE. And Lori - BIG FAT AWESOME FIANC\u00C9 HIGH FIVE. Hell, I&amp;#039;ll even throw proposals a BIG FAT AWESOME EXISTING HIGH FIVE for simply enabling this to happen. In the mean time, if someone just gave me a normally Kinder Surprise I&amp;#039;d be well pleased. What do you think of Matthew&amp;#039;s proposal?
