Why am I pieing my wife?
You may be asking yourself: why would Tim want to pie his wife in the summer of 2010? (Unless you know me personally)

The simple answer? To be a good husband.

You see, there is a saying "the sweet isn't as sweet without the sour".

Well, I dish out a lot of sweet. Therefore, every now and then I have to serve up a little sour. Like the time that I dressed like a home invader, broke into our house, and chased Andrea around the bedroom.

Sure, she was a little upset at first. But, at the same time she sure had a new appreciation for the protection that having a husband around provides.

A new film that will undoubtedly titillate the scenesters and counter-culture enthusiasts.

In reality, it looks like "Borat meets the Graffiti artist".

Of course, I'll reserve final judgment until I check out this rebellious picture... brought to you by one of the largest, corporate studios in Hollywood.

The key to a memorable marriage proposal is to utilize the element of surprise. This can be easily accomplished through patience and careful planning.

If you are interested in proposing, I strongly suggest that you take a moment to review the following steps:

1. Anti-Marriage campaign

  • Immediately upon making your decision to propose, you must initiate your anti-marriage campaign. This is where you convince your future fiancée that you no longer believe in marriage. Your goal is to break your partner's spirit.

  • It's good to occasionally drop phrases like:
    - "I don't need a piece of paper to tell you that I love you."
    - "Most marriages end in divorce."
    - "Weddings are stupid"
    - "Why buy the milk when you can get the cow for free?"




2. Special Occasions.

  • Most proposals happen during special occasions like birthdays, Christmas and Valentine's Day. Let at least three cycles of these occasions pass without a mention of marriage (unless you intend to drop the awesome spirit breaking phrases listed above).

  • After around the fourth year, pick a special occasion. At least one week prior to the occasion, start acting overly sweet to your partner. Introduce the idea that you are eager to give a "special" present this year.

  • You'll know that you're doing well if your partner starts calling friends and family.

  • Once this occasion rolls around, give your partner something that you want, like a big screen TV or a motorcycle.

  • After your partner has to spend the next few humiliating days taking calls from friends and family who were expecting a proposal, you be sure that everyone has given up on
    you proposing.



3. The Age-Old Tradition of Getting the Father's Permission.

  • You now have little time to act. Your broken hearted partner is visiting 'Plenty of Fish' behind your back so you better work quickly.

  • Face it, you don't have time to get the dad's permission. Half-heartedly try a few times but be a coward and chicken out. (Just think of it this way, the more people you involve in your master plan, the more chance there is for failure.)


4. At last, the time has come.

  • Get your partner drunk and let them pass out.
  • First thing in the morning, kick your partner relatively hard to get them to wake up. Since they are hung over, they are cranky and they will not appreciate being kicked awake first thing in the morning.
  • When they ask "Why are you kicking me?", before they are fully able to get to their senses, pop the ring out and ask them to marry you.
  • Of course, they won't be coherent enough to understand what is going on. Gently take your time to explain to them that you want to marry them.


5. The aftermath

  • Once they realize that you are serious, enjoy basking in an overwhelming series of screams, tears, kisses and hugs.
  • Make tender love to your partner.
  • Be sure to leave the room and give your partner some privacy as it is certain that they will want to call their parents and friends to share the good news.
  • Listen closely through the door. Once your partner has gone through three or four phone calls, burst through the door and shout nervously "You haven't said anything to anyone have you?" tell your partner that you were just joking around and assure her that both the ring and the proposal were part of a prank that you were playing.


If she begins to cry, you can be proud that you successfully executed a surprise marriage proposal.

This is the first in a series of posts leading to my upcoming wedding. As it turns out, I'm pretty bad at keeping in touch with family and friends. This will be my lame attempt to keep those interested updated.

To begin, an explanation of how we got to where we are:


  1. Met a girl much hotter than I am at the only event where such a feat could be pulled off... my own birthday party.

  2. Convinced her to date me exclusively by bringing her coloring books and crayons on our third date.

  3. Made her fall in love with the help of this video:


  4. Over the course of several years, I kept the relationship exciting by constantly sneaking up behind her and startling her.

  5. Tested her toughness by dragging her out of heavenly Vancouver and forsake her to Northern Alberta in the middle of winter time.



Thus, I decided to propose.
