So, my partner and I have a lot of big events in February.
Our 3 year anniversary was the 7th. His birthday is the 23rd, mine is the 24th. And Valentine's Day is... well actually, it's today! (Didn't realize that.. xD)
I have a little party/get-together type thing for both our birthdays, and our anniversary. Figured we'd celebrate them all on one day.
I'm inviting my entire family, some of his family, and some close friends. Figured I'd get some bottles of wine, some music, just have a nice time with people we love and care about..
But this is what I was thinking. I will be turning 20 years old. Which is basically an adult. I consider 20 to be officially an adult, because it's no longer in the "teens." i.e: I was just nineTEEN.
I'm very seriously contemplating proposing to my partner at this party. I was planning on getting him some gifts for Valentine's Day, and then was looking at rings. And the idea popped into my head. I figured at a party celebrating big events like this, in the company of our entire family/friends would be a great time to do it. I would also let one person know ahead of time so they could record it.
What do you think?

Meziaster You're going to be twenty... I'm assuming that you're in your sophomore year of college. You still have your education to complete, which is necessary for the financial foundation of a marriage. Have you spoken to your partner about marriage? Marriage is a lifelong decision and commitment, which may seem daunting. You need to envision your future with this person as well. On that note, have you actually considered living with your partner? Some individuals that are engaged might not experience this prior to marriage. It's crucial that you're able to live with each other and know what that feels like since you're going to end up living with them once you're married. It's better to know whether or not you can handle it. Having said that, there are studies conducted that show that HALF of all marriages end in divorce. If you marry between the ages of twenty and twenty-five, your chances of getting divorced are then 60%. However, some couples may propose early on in their relationships and not plan on getting married for three or four years. But remember, the next step after engagement is marriage.
Thanks for the advice! I should have added a little more info though. I'm not in college, and my partner and I have our own apartment. We have lived together for 2 and a half years, so we're experienced in that aspect. I think were fairly financially stable, we both have jobs. but you did make some good points, so thanks!
