Neither the question nor the answer should ever be a surprise.
The time, and location of proposal are the surprise.
When I asked my now wife, I knew for sure she was going to say yes, and I knew she would want a simple ring with her birth stone instead of a diamond.
She had no idea I was going to ask her in the manner I did while we were out camping. that was the surprise for her. Not the question itself.
I work for company A. Company A is based in Florida, USA. I work in a warehouse owned by Company X, and staffed by Company Z.
As an employee of Company A, I do have my own conduct rules.
That said, when working in Company X's warehouse with Company Z's people, I have a different set of conduct rules, some of which conflict with Company A's rules. But since I'm currently on contract with and on the premises of Company X and Z, their rules take precedent. Company A understands this and is okay with it. I will not be fired.
I am not being condescending, and genuinely hope this helps it click for you.
My dog: STICK! CHOMP
He excitedly murdered my first maple when we planted one out front.
The replacement is doing quite well, though!

follow their instructions
I'm white.
I have been stopped, at gunpoint, by cops who were both screaming different things ranging from "get off the bike" to "get on the ground", "turn around", "face us and walk forward with your hands out", and "drop your bag" which for the record was strapped to my back with a waist belt on.
Luckily another car rolled up seconds later and when one of the cops inside ran over to them they exchanged a few sentences and then the ones that were pointing guns at me seconds before, one says "you're good to go." and the first two leave like nothing happened. The ones that came up a minute behind came over and told me someone was purse-snatched at a specific shoe store across town and fled on a green bicycle 10 minutes beforehand. I was about 6 miles away, and riding a red bike
I fully believe that if the first cops had stopped someone who wasn't white, or if I had tried reaching for my waist buckle on my bag, they would have opened fire.
LMAO "just follow their orders" what a fucking joke.
When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
And cops are the biggest tools out there.
When people start seeing huge rises in their electric bill, don't be surprised to see normal everyday people trying to burn down datacenters.
I really want someone to press one of these people on camera.
"Donald Trump has promised at multiple rallies to end the democratic process by eliminating the need to vote, and this is extremely dangerous to our democracy, therefore it is an official act of the office e of the president to order a hit on DJT, Seal teams 3 and 5 are en-route now. Such an act is official, and necessary for the country to survive therefore Joe Biden is completely immune from any prosecution."
I just want to know for sure what the reaction would be. I'm sure pearl clutching indignation (because someone thought of their idea but flipped the victims around)
He chose it because if you add his 111 years to Frodo's 33, you get 144 or "one gross dozen" although to refer to the gathered hobits as a "gross" would be rude indeed! (more book references for those who haven't read them)
No joke, I just got to the part in the Andy Serkis narrated audiobook where Gandalf returns to toss the ring into the fire(place).
Bilbo even comes out to announce that the dragon means supper is being served and the 144 people that get to sit inside the big tent should come on in.
The first time I interacted with water and it did something in response instead of being static blew my mind.
Seeing my own reflection in a game hurt my brain.
I'm confused as to how it would even be illegal....
Are we sure we don't want to implement mandatory cognitive tests for the presidency?
