Jon & Rachel- Committment Theory Audio Book
Jon Proposed on 1/28/11
My fiance and I love listening to audio books before bedtime, so my proposal idea was to make up a book about commitment, record 3-4 minutes of it, and insert my proposal into it. And then at the end ask her to marry me. I came up with a book title: "Commitment Theory - What To Do Before You Say I Do".

With LOVE,
