for the Six Sentence Stories where the given word is Alternative.

I’m about to make the biggest decision of my life so I need a plan of action.

I’ll have to buy a diamond ring, but should it be flashy, sophisticated or understated? 

Then where to do it, should it be in a smart restaurant, somewhere in the countryside or in the pub on a busy night?

The most popular way to propose must be by going down on one knee, but I might have difficulty getting up again so I’ll have to consider some alternative methods. 

As for when, that’s a difficult one and will depend on when I can spare the time.

That just leaves the most important question of all, should the lucky lady be Jane or Mary or Sally or Maggie or … ?

Thanks to GirlieOnTheEdge for hosting.

    Big choices require lots of thought and preparation. Good six.

    Certainly, the character never varies from his trait for being unable to make decisions. LOL
    Excellent Six!

    Jane…Mary…Sally…Maggie.. Sounds like you live in a seniors’ complex. 🙂 Yeah, definitely go easy on the old knees.

    If the choice is difficult, be practical: marry the lady with the most congenial offspring, the ones you want to spend time with.

      Now that’s a very good idea! I’ll interview their families then decide! As for the senior’s complex, how very dare you!

        Whoops! my bad. 😦
        Actually, I’m looking forward to living in a seniors’ complex. I can visit, play Scrabble and do jigsaw puzzles all day. 😉 The stairs are great exercise, too — unless the elevator fails when you have four bags of groceries to carry up. 🙂

        I’ve got 60 steps and no elevator to my flat now, so I do my shopping a bit at a time!

    I like not being able to stand up after getting on one’s knee and not knowing what her name should be.

    My first reaction is “that’s not such a bad a predicament to be in”. But then I realized…yeah it is! lol
    Quick pace sets the reader up nicely for the surprise ending 🙂

    I laughed out loud at your last sentence. This guy definitely has a problem making decisions.

      I’ve not heard that in a while.
      No doubt he’ll keep working his way though his lady-list until one says yes, or not!
