Happy news, need help on how to propose!

Ok i did it, i finally going to get the ring on friday. I dunno how to give it to my girlfriend though. Damn ring cost a small fortune for me about 6 gs. So no H22a on the old CL. Now I need some opinions how you guys think i should do it. I am in the NYC area and it should be affordable. Thanks oh

BTW please no comments like PIITB lol.

Oh forgot to mention, we don't have my own places and we don't live together.

Congrats! As a MA boy, I am not sure what you mean...or perhaps I am just dumb?!!?!! Personally, I gave it to a girl in Acaidia National Park....it was cliche' but it worked better than doing it when she was comfortable!

heres and idea...

tell her to pack her clothes for 1 week. tell her she will need suntan oil (spring break good excuse)

fly down somewheres exotic

get a shanty by the water nice view preferred

go have a blast there that week

one morning wake up early and make her breakfast in bed

wake her up time it to where the sun is about to rise.

tell her how last night you got restless and went on a walk on the beach and thought about somthing serious etc etc... how you cant live without her and how happy she makes you...tell her you went to a little shop that was still open last night and got her a gift. blah blah as the sun is comming up.. tell her youve made up your mind, just like the sun comming up right now to start a new day i want to start a new day with you, i dont ever want to spend another day watchign another sunrise without you etc etc... give her the ring box..and do the deed!

something along those lines would be cool

or..... hire a private gourmet cook and waiter for the night....

have them set up a table in a nice park or landmark area.

have her dress up really nice

pick her up in a limo you wearing a tux of course

get to the park candle lite table waiting of course

have them do cook/serve your meal there

take her somewhere nice/upscale for after dinner something like a live show

talk to the owner or whoever is running the show before hand of course.

have them call you up there and say you won a prize or something... go up there and talk about how happy you are to win the prize etc then shift the focus on your girl being your prize etc and ask her to marry you right there.

i got another one! lol...


do a scavenger hunt of sorts!

start off with a we need to have a serious talk meet me here at 9 o clock... lol (rhymes)


at the first stop make sure she finds something that means something to the both of you.. or just to her or just to you. with another note to go somewheres else
(video tapes with someting she can watch it on, pictures, love notes, souvineers from trips etc.)

at the end of the chase have her go back to her place or you place.

when she opens the door

candles everywhere lit up with a note that says go to the bathroom.

have a hot bubblebath waiting with a bottle of wine in a bucket of ice with a note go ahead ill join you shortly.

when you make your way in there give her your prepared speech about how all those things remind me of you or remind you of the both of you and how well you fit etc etc and how you want to make more memories like that for the rest of your life and do the deed.

Ok i did it, of course it seems like no matter how much i plan it will get messed up. I was planning to do it earlier after dinner in a nice park area. But that got messed up. The restaurant had a party that was hold up my table. The people eating there was there for over two hours and delayed me more than 30 mins. Then it was raining really hard. Ended up in the car under the pouring rain all wet. Oh well the ring was big enough so I think she didn't care anymore.

awesome dude and congrats. I proposed on my birthday when my wife took me out to dinner. She didn't expect it at all. Oh and at that point I ended up paying for dinner.

Kevin, you romantic you!

Hells no man. Get what you can afford and be comfortable with. If a bitch is so caught up in the 2 times a month salary thing or how big the ring is you are finding out all you need to know.

haha, no, she's not into that at all. We've been common-law for 7 years and she's now at the point where she'd rather see the coin go towards a paved driveway and some landscaping! But.... she has these friends who are very into rings, and I don't want her (or me) to feel like a cheapskate whe she's around them.

I hate the fact that all the diamonds come from like 2 companies and its a virtual monopoly price game you have to play. For that reason alone, we may go with a ring that is specifically not a diamond.

2 months salary... net or gross?? CRikey, either way, thats a lot!
