How should I ask her to marry me?

[Hotfoot]

Okay Ladies. Give him some ideas.


I took my Lady to Savannah for Labor day weekend. Our first trip away together, we had only been dating for 11 weeks but I knew her for about 3 years. She knew something was up. We went to a nice expensive dinner and ordered the house wine. We had just taken a sip and it tasted like vinegar! We were about to send it back when a bottle of Poulliy Vusey (not spelled right) arrived along with Peg says congratulations (my mom had sent a bottle to us!)

I didn't say anything other than "That was nice."

After dinner we changed clothes and I proceeded to walk her through Savannah from the river to Forsyth Park. (about 1 1/2 miles!) We sat on a bench and talked or a few minutes. Told her I wanted to spend my life with her, she said the same so I got down on one knee (landed on an acorn which hurt like hell) and said the magic words.

She says she doesn't remember the walk back to the room!

Had our 11th anniversary this past March and we have 2 wonderful little girls.

Thank You for your ideas.

I am glad someone mentioned getting down on a knee. Wiki didnt have that. The ring is claer and big and she will like it. It was my Mothers.

I think I will try to find something that will be in Cincinnati still in 50 years and just get down and cry in front of her.

I cry at Lovey stuff.

In 50 years I will bring her back.

A tree in Eden Park maybe? William Henry Harrisons Statue Downtown?

Hire an actor and dress him up in a Jason Voorhees costume.
You let him enter the house, armed with a machete, and burst through her bedroom door. Just as he is about to decapitate her, you run in and blast him with a volley of your Uzi machine gun (firing blanks). Blood bags burst open all over him, and he falls dead on the ground. Covered in blood, you grab her arm and say: "Michael Meyers is just down the hall, come with me if you want to live!"
You both go through the window, head for the car and drive off, while Leatherface chases you with a chainsaw.

If she doesn't marry you after all that, I don't know....

PS: just as she has accepted your proposal, Freddy Krueger jumps up from the back seat shouting: "Mind if I cut in, lovebirds?"

I hope that isnt the way you proposed!

[AAAAA]

Just show up at her door and give her the ring ,will you marry me!

[TrueDave]

I know the place.

I know what to do ( thanks folks)

I just need the right moment. Guess this is where I start carrying the ring and waiting for the right moment.

. . .ulp . . I think I need to throw up.

I hope that isnt the way you proposed!

No. That would have been too simple....
What I did was this:
I rigged my body with an Alien chestburster puppet.
My right arm was a fake one, while my real arm went into the chestburster, to animate it like a sock puppet.
As we were eating dinner, I suddenly started coughing.
I fell on the table, blood gushing out my chest, and the alien burst out, holding a ring between its teeth.
I then did my best ventriloquist act, making it say in a gravely voice: "Marry me...."

What do you think? Should I become a wedding planner?


And now the real story: plain and simple. I proposed in bed, holding her in my arms. But that wouldn't make such an exciting story, right?

Good luck, man. I can totally vouch for marriage being a great thing!

[TrueDave]

She said "yes " today!

[toystalker]

I took her to dinner with some friends. I excused myself after dinner, and changed into a suit of armor. I came back in, dropped down on one knee in front of the whole resaurant, told her she was my queen, would she be my wife. She said yes, and we went downtown for a carriage ride. It was nice.
I picked out the diamond I wanted to give her and the jeweler put it in a genric engagement setting, and we went in and let her pick the ring she wanted and they put the diamond I bought in it for her. I've tried to upgrade it for her over the years but she refuses. My wife rocks....15 years this June, and two fantastic kids.

I wish I had been in that restaurant that night! This sounds hilariously cool!

She said "yes " today!

Congratulations!

So... TrueDave... Don't leave us hanging!

[Bizarro Amy]

Congrats!

Nate let it slip one day while ranting about the horrible day he had. Among other things, the ring he bought couldn't be resized and he wouldn't have another one in time to propose at the Pittsburgh Comicon. I was stunned, and told him he could do it anyway...but I wouldn't tell him what the answer would be until he actually proposed. He did so at the Comicon and presented me with a plastic Green Lantern ring.

Congrats Dave.

I actually proposed on Christmas morning. Worst freakin' Christmas eve of my LIFE. I tossed and turned. Woke up in cold sweats. My mind raced. I think my then-girlfriend, thought I was out of my mind. Try and sleep with a big reveal like THAT on your mind. After she accepted it, cried, and said "yes" I sat down and said, "I will never do that again." She says, "You better not have to!" In retrospect it's been great, but that night was sheer h*ll. I would rather eat White Castles with my butt stitched shut, then to pull that again.

Do it Urban Cowboy style like Bud and Sissy, just throw her up in the truck and say You wanna git murri'd!!!! LOL I just told my wife how I felt about her and we just kinda knew so I did the whole bended knee thing and she said Yeah!!! I'm happy for you Dave awesome!

[mrwisker]
