Dude don't let these old guys get to you... There is nothing better than being in love with an amazing beautiful woman. I am marrying one in 18 days. I proposed on a boat at sunset with our song playing in the background... That will always be our spot on the lake.
I feel I should offer some sage advice. Don't make the proposal a big deal. Its all downhill from there anyway, but if you go all out for the proposal, then that hill gets longer and steeper.
Don't listen to, Vito. Go all out. Women would never expect you to put forth the same level of creativity for every special date. They are all completely rational and understanding beings.
Take her up in a balloon ride,If she says no well.... toss her overboard or if she says yes you jump.:p In a few weeks i will be celebrating my 21st year of marriage. so other then sarcasm i will give you some good advice. dont go to bed mad and dont sweat the small stuff there will be plenty of big things over the years. Best of luck.
You know, I already had a response in my head to combat your obvious inexperience at being married. Then I got to the last sentence and lost it.
Nothing extravagant here. We went down to our college homecoming in 2000, we became mildly intoxicated, and then I led her to one of the more romantic spots in the US to propose....the Crim Dell at the College of William and Mary. Simple, did not cost a cent, and we have been married for 10 years!
Late at night, casual walk on the beach while on vacation... stopped by the bottom of the pier, went for my camera and pulled out a ring... I'm a dang sweetheart.
Listen to Vito !! Competely rational and understanding ?? If that was the case... they wouldn't want anything to do with us at all !!! :p Keep it simple. Save the creativity and romance for when you really need it. Getting out of trouble. Buying something expensive you really don't need. Did I mention getting out of trouble. Been working for me for 23 years. Seriously... communicate with them. Ask her how her day went... before you tell her how good or bad your day went. Flowers, jewlery and romance are nice but it will not make a marriage. Communicating makes a great marraige. She is not only the love of your life but the most important person in your life who you rely on the most. Never let her think you've forgotten that. Remind her every day. Tim
New Years Eve.... Calloway Gardens, Georgia, 1971. My mouth opened and she said yes. That's about all I remember. LOL I had to do it. She was costing me too much to date. Dinner out every night and all that. It was getting expensive.LOL
I got married on May 28th of this year to my girl of 8 years. When I asked her we were at her apt. and I made deer steak kabobs and wild rice mac and cheese, with corn on the cob. I had a note taped to the bottom of the plate and had her do a little scavenger hunt threw the house. When she got the last clue it said ask me what is in my pocket. she came out and said Jake what the Fuk is in your pocket and Thats how it happen. True story
Thanks for all the responses guys. I asked her tonight. I left notes, professing my love for her, all over the house this morning for her to find when she woke up. When I got off work, at 5, I welcomed her with flowers then swept her up for a Italian dinner in a great little restaurant. Once finished with dinner I drove her up on a secluded hill above town where we could look at our little town and watch the sun drop. I dropped to one knee and the rest is history!
Over dinner was the way for me! Four kids combined by both of us so really tough to get away or do anything that the cat would not come out of the bag!
Congrats buddy! Now we want to see wedding pictures and for gods sake dont let her plan the wedding during deer season! Mine tried but that did not work! LOL Ours was Sept 25th!
Best way to go about it? Pawn the ring and continue dating, all the while using the money for concert tickets and a new bow. Gotta work with what you got, lol.
Tim I couldnt have said it any better!! Mine actually gets PISSED if I buy sinceless cards or flowers that get shoved in the drawer or die!! Money wasted $$, There are other ways to acomplish the same things that mean more!! , Iw we go out to eat and spend more than a $50, she will freak out,,,I love cheap women :p
