Guys Okay With Marriage Proposal Role Reversal

We're coming up on the second anniversary of the day my husband asked me to marry him. On April 20, 2014, Jay asked me to be his wife in an unconventional way.

Jay didn't get down on one knee, or do a fancy dinner or read a speech. He didn't even really ask me to marry him. No, he snuck into my house while I was asleep on Easter morning and hid eggs. I'd casually mentioned that I didn't remember ever going to an Easter egg hunt as a child. And so, he brought one to me.

I collected all the eggs and sat down on the couch to sift through my loot when Jay told me I'd missed an egg between the couch cushions. I opened it and inside I saw Cracker Jack prize wrappers. He told me he got me a cool Cracker Jack prize and when I pulled the stickers a part, out fell an engagement ring. I didn't believe it was real. He told me it was. I laughed and slipped it on. That's when I realized it was very real. Jay asked, "so, is that a yes?" Obviously, the answer was "yes."

Jay said he knew that if he didn't ask me to marry him, that he might have to wait another lifetime because I'm pretty old fashioned and wouldn't have ever proposed to him. Don't get me wrong, I'm really independent, but there are some things that I just can't bring myself to do because of the way I was raised. Proposing is one of those things. But, it looks like I'm in a growing minority with that mindset.

Millennials are proving that they're all about breaking free from old fashioned ideals and doing things their own way and on their own terms. More and more young women are taking the bull by the horn and apparently, younger guys are perfectly fine with it. As a matter of fact, the Telegraph says 94% of unmarried men say they'd be happy to have their girlfriend propose marriage to them.
