Same boat here, buddy. She was born in '90, myself in '86, and she's also wasted a lot of college time because she changed majors....
We're planning on attempting to make the whole family thing happen around college for her, because I really don't want to wait until I'm 30 to be married, settled, and starting the creation of bebbes, I grew up with a pretty old dad, and I've seen other friends do it, and we all agree it pretty much sucks, you see these kids with their dads in their 40s and still in good shape with no health problems, able to do all that "family stuff."
I don't want to be my dad, no offense to him, my dad's great, but ever since I was in 6th grade his health has gotten continually worse and I never got to do much with him after awhile.
Anyways, waitin' on the ring now, gonna propose on or around our anniversary on June 2nd. >_>;
Her cousin already proposed to his (now wife) in the way I wanted to, just casually going "Hey, marry me, here's a ring" and tossing it at her. =\ He didn't plan it that way, but she wasn't paying attention and so he just threw it at her, I thought it was funny.
Either way, our engagement will be a pretty long one, not really worried about that.
