Proposal Advice???
Proposal Advice??? Hey guys and ESPECIALLY Gals, just wanted to run something by yah.
I'm asking Jyla to marry me next weekend....I know alot of you are going to be like NOOOOOO don't do it etc etc
But I'm 32 years old never been married and I have no question this is something I want to do with her, definately not rushing into it .... So here is how I was thinking of doing it. Let me know if it sounds HELLA corny or even if you have any other ideas?
Its her Birthday so I got this cake that she loves from this downtown bakery they are putting "Will you marry me!" on it. We are going to beach and after dinner I was going to do the Birthday thing in our Room (nice big room with beach view), But blindfold her. Lite the candles yada yada yada and then ask her to make a wish and take the blindfold off. The cake will be there and I'll have a BIG fat rock on a plantinum bank in hand.
What do you think am I a cornball or what. Incidently is it wrong that as I was buying the ring all that kept going through my mind was a SUPERCHARGER???

Just don't put the ring inside anything edible. I have heard many oops stories about chipped teeth, swallowed ring, etc. You plan sounds like a good one. By the way, there is no wrong way to propose as long as your heart is in it.

Verdad Gallardo LOL I knew I'd get alot of don't do its. Seriously though been with her for 8 years we really might as well be married I never would have bought a house with her if I didn't think it would last.
As far as things changing well then I'll leave, as much as I like my **** I'd give it all up if we were miserable in a second. marraige doesn't scare me its the freaking kids. Once we have those THAT would change things walking away would be impossible...
Nothing edible I'm just going to get down on one knee with the box and open it kind a crap. Not worried about the answer my living room is littered with wedding magazines, I can take a hint

THAT MY FRIEND is a funny story
I know thats what would be going through my head! Everything has a value, and they can all be compared to car parts of equal value. Life is mean!
What do you think am I a cornball or what. Incidently is it wrong that as I was buying the ring all that kept going through my mind was a SUPERCHARGER???

So what if it sounds corny... women dig that kind of stuff.
My proposal was equally corny... I proposed on Christmas Eve, and the way I did it was with two wedding planning books wrapped up as gifts. She opened the gifts, had that "OMG" look on her face, just in time for her to turn around and see me on one knee with her ring.
Corny, yes... but she didn't say no. Of course, she probably would have had she known how much money I'd be spending on my car...

Sounds great to me! As was said, there is no wrong way if it is done with the heart
Huh, come to think of it ... I think Tom's proposal to me was the first baby, the second one represented an engagement ring ... lol
