Dr. Seuss is not just for children. These classic stories are ones that can speak to everyone. This is probably why Oh, The Places You’ll Go! is often shared when you graduate high school– and grade school, and college, and just about any opportunity. So why not use these classic books to inspire a proposal– especially to someone who may be a true Seuss fan?

1. Green Eggs and Ham. Put your culinary skills to the task of making this dish for your sweetie for breakfast in bed or a special dinner– however you please. Visit Seussville.com for a number of recipes on how to do this. Or write your own version of this tale but instead of “green eggs and ham” write it about marriage.
“And I would marry you on a train, I would marry you in the rain.”

2. Cat in the Hat. I would not suggest going over to her house and making an awful mess. I would suggest, if she’s a cat person, presenting her with a kitten in the classic hat and bow-tie with the ring on it. You could add to this by actually cleaning her house before the proposal.

3. Oh, the Places We’ll Go. Make a scrapbook of all the adventures you have taken together, and include in the book things you’ve talked a bout doing together as well. End it with a page with your proposal or a simple, “Look up!” Make sure you’re waiting on one knee either way you end it.
