Title: How did you propose?
Post by: swoslover on July 13, 2008, 08:11:39 PM
Lol just looking for some ideas.

My gf is away not back for a couple of weeks.  I bought the ring today but looking for a nice way to ask the q.

I know I'll get flamed for asking on the net!!

Batter the ring and deep fat fry it... That should do the trick... 'tis the Scotish way ;-)

You remind me of Alan Partridge.

Cholesterol its something they eat in scotland.

I may be paraphrasing there.

As an aside she is Chinese and hasn't developed a liking for deep fried mars bars; yet.

Ahhh I understand! Then she needs educating in the ways of the Scot!

Spend the next week sleeping on a park bench, drinking nothing but special Special Brew... Avoid washing, naturally, and upon her return, turn up at the airport drunk covered I'm vomit and tell her how much you love her and that you want to marry, and that you've pawned the ring to buy a can of Tenants Super... Offer her a sip and to highten the effect, try soiling yourself durning the more elucid moments of the proposal...

If she says yes after that, I'd say you're on a winner!

Speak from the heart. Tell her why you need her in your life and why you want her to be your wife. That way if she doesn't say yes, you will at least know you were honest ;-)

Hm, so I'm too late with giving the hint to make her good Tiramisu.

I spent five months working with a jeweler on sourcing a stone (she wanted a radiant cut canary yellow diamond) and designing the ring. By the time that was done, I was so excited I plopped down on one knee and asked her amidst the dust bunnies on her apartment floor while she was packing an overnight bag. She passed her PhD qualifying exam the same day, so I think it was a bit too much to take in all at once.

Anyhow, we're getting married in October. :-) If I could do it over, I'd ask on the beach at sunset. I'm in sunny (when not cloudy, smoggy, or smokey) California, though, where beaches and sunsets are plentiful. Symbolically, a sunrise might make more sense, but that calls for Yosemite Valley or somewhere equally majestic. She prefers the beach.
