OK LADIES AND GENTS! Wedding Bug Going around and I need Advice!

[miaheatlvr]

Well people here in the forum really are getting the wedding bug from what I have read and as you may have know or not by reading a prior forum Im asking my girl to get married on JUNE 8th in front of her whole family at a gathering, talk about ballsy huh? Now I WILL get down on one knee after a short heartfelt speech. Now LADIES should I take the ring out of the BOX or leave it in when I present it to her? And Im not one for schtick like putting it in her drink or something like that unless some ladies here can convince me to try something along those lines. Thanks for reading this!

Check out this baby! 1ct of joyfull bliss and EXTRA big hole in my pocket!

I like the simple proposal, on one knee, holding her hand and you give her the box. She opens it, bursts in tears, kisses, *I do's* and the whole nine yards

isnt' that a very short time to plan a wedding, especially if you haven't asked her yet?

just bring a bull horn, get everyone's attention, then ask her
and hope she likes small bands... that thing is almost invisible!! and, hope it fits!!!

You could write "Will you marry me?" on the back of Dwayne Wade's wheel chair next time he gets a paper cut. Or write it on his full body cast when he stubs his toe. There are a lot of options.

When Dwayne Wade gets a hangnail and goes to the hospital, you could have a sign on the back of the ambulance.

when tobin proposed to me the first time i was so shocked i nearly fell out of bed

jk sort of..... I think its really classy when after the guy makes the speech he pulls the ring box out of wherever and opens it as he asks will you marry me and presents her with the ring in the open box....it also looks good in pictures (since the whole family will be there)

 

[crimzy]

You could write "Will you marry me?" in ice cream. Just don't let Dwayne Wade have any because if brain freeze sets in he'll have to go get his stomach pumped.

OK, I may be done now...

So Jenny, you think leave it closed and let her open it? OR open it in front of her? But NOT take it out and hold it with my bare hands?

Proposal doesn't have to be anything fancy. The way you propose doesn't make your marriage last any longer than it would otherwise.

Leave it in the box and possibly open it while you are kneeled down. The ring will look the best in the box instead of in your hands.

 

[jennythebugg]

i think you should present her with the open box- reason why is that by this time aunt mable is going to have her camera phone out and mom will have sent dad to go get the camera and you will have a beautiful pic of you down on one knee with your lovely woman gazing down at you and said ring with tears in her eyes and a huge smile on her face it will make a great pic something for the wedding album

agree

Actually, on a serious note, when I proposed to my wife, I took her to a great dinner. When she got up to go to the bathroom I had the waitress bring out the ring and the red roses that I'd dropped off at the restaurant earlier. She came back to the table and the ring box was open and the roses were on the table.
We left the restaurant and went out to celebrate with friends and family. It was a pretty simple proposal but it worked out perfect.... it was a surprise, romantic, memorable. I'm glad we did this and wouldn't have changed a thing. People get too crazy about being creative... putting the ring in food, champagne, in a fishtank.... give it to her in a nice box, clean and brand new. JMO

I agree with the simple "down on one knee, open ring box, profess your love and propose" and once she accepts, take the ring out and place it on her finger.
My brother proposed to his fiancee on NYE by putting the ring in a glass of champagne. The glasses were filled half way and my brother made a speech to her, something about his life being like the glass of champagne... only half full... until she came along, and then he empties her champagne into his glass and says that with her in his life, his glass is now full and he presented the glass to her and she sees the ring at the bottom and freaks. Then he proposed to her. I know I didn't get all the details right, or what he actually said, but it was something like that!

Good luck to you!~

Can't believe your team is gonna get Derrick Rose after tanking the second half the season

I asked my wife while I was cooking dinner....Hamberger helper I think...

 

[reefforbrains]

Nice ring....
Almost looks real...
OK OK OK Its beautiful. I agree it presents better in the box but perhaps change out the box for something slimline so she wont accuse you of smoking thinking its a pack of cigarettes.
Its one of lifes moments to remember. Having the nervous sweat hands and checking its still in your pocket every 30 seconds throught any time you have it on you before you propose.

lol you guys are harsh. You have more guts than me and I knew she would say yes. Open box. Dang it you reminded me I have to write my vows.

 

[reefforbrains]

HAHAHA yes but thats what we are here for. Its a life changing event that will be special no matter HOW he delivers it. Its our duty to rib him and amp up his impending doom as much as possible.........see, it shows how much we love the guy.
Just thinking,....what if she WANTS to marry you but because your a die hard fan of such losers she refuses?
Not being negative, but it could happen. They really do suck ya know. Nevermind...Your a sharp guy you have already thought of this though many times I am sure....Like for instance every year during the playoffs and they arent playing.
HAHAHAH ok OKOK OK im just being punchy. I really am thrilled for ya and look forward to hearing how everything goes with your proposal.

Dude this is the easy part. Buy her a $5K - $10K ring and then go get her a wedding ring. Buy yourself a $200.00 wedding ring cause you're a guy. During the engagement you are the VIP to her and her family.
What you really have to worry about is... THE MARRIAGE.
