yesterday on the London Eye i was stood next to a couple when the boy proposed to the girl.
he said 'i've been winking and moaning about this for a while... will you marry me?'
i felt a bit bad for earwigging and went away.
anyway, a load of their friends were on there too, and they all came over to congratulate them... i assume she said yes.
anyway, we thought it a bit 'meh' as well... he could have splashed out and hired the whole capsule or... maybe not done it somewhere so public? i don't know.
how would you do it or want it to be done to you?????
Gah.
What an arsehole. How's the girl supposed to refuse without feeling like a right cow if it's in front of all their friends? I was proposed to once. Christmas Day at his parents' house. It wasn't in front of them but still, I felt very manipulated. Strangely enough, that relationship didn't last for very long afterwards.
Your profile picture: have you just been bitch slapped?
Mad Caps!
wanking and moaning about it?
bit weird.
HAHA
that is weird especially infront of their friends in a london eye capsule
I'd want it done
yeah, not in public, or maybe in public with just the other person after having a mediocre day. But in private is better. and not down on one knee or anything. The ad for a vibrating cock ring on tv has probably ruined the whole ring-in-box thing for anyone who's seen it...
this isn't
the one, but is even worse. Chk it out:

.
HA!
I'm not sure
I'm hoping i'll be allowed to be spontaneous.. I don't think I'm the type to book a weekend away with the intention of proposing.
Ideally- i'd kind of have a moment where i know it'd be right...
This scares me :(
I'm bad enough asking girls out for a date.
Assuming I have to do this one day, I know I'll probably goof it up! Then again, if it really is to the right girl, and the time is right, then I guess I'll feel more comfortable.
Ha
Like Mark from Peep Show, look how that turned out!!
...
It's a bit cheesy to do the whole proposal on a weekend for two in Paris backgrounded by a sunset at the Sacre Coeur, I think.
you'd be expecting at ever single
possible opportunity that he would get down on one knee. How dull.
my brother in law
proposed to my sister at the alhambra! http://tinyurl.com/22q78g
Cheese central! Quite sweet though I guess.
I'd like to think I'd come up with some good way of doing it
But then, what woman would want me...?
on the doorstep of a vegas elvis chapel
drunk
im glad im not the only one to have done that!
phew!
I'm going to propose in the KFC
on Bournemouth's glamorous Winton High Street.
I've got a contact in the day shift there who'll be able to slip Elizabeth Duke's finest into the lucky lady's Zinger Tower Burger...I reckon it would be best to just wedge it between the cheese and the hash brown otherwise it'll get covered in salsa.
In a funny sort of way,
i miss Winton.
As for proposing...well. i'm awkward enough just talking out loud, let alone asking the one person i really truly love and want to spend the rest of my life with whether she feels the same way. So i am worrying about it. Plus whether it would be insulting or not to ask the father's permission first, as i don't believe in the marriage ceremony being the passing of female 'property' to another family as that is just utterly, utterly depressing. But i don't want to make my girlfriend's family hate me either, so. Hmm. It's worrying me.
This year is a leap year though...
a marriage ceremony is actually...
Marriage sometimes:
establishes the legal father of a woman's child;
establishes the legal mother of a man's child;
this one>>>>>>>gives the husband or his family control over the wife's sexual services, labor, and/or property;
gives the wife or her family control over the husband's sexual services, labor, and/or property;
establishes a joint fund of property for the benefit of children;
or establishes a relationship between the families of the husband and wife.
and
Conversely, a marriage is commonly held to require a sexual relationship, and non-consummation (that is, failure to engage in sex) may be held grounds for an annulment
yes but
that at least shows that the two people in the relationship are becoming the property of each other. So it's at least reasonably equal. That's fine.
sexual property
although it is reassuring to know I can wake up my husband at 3.35 in the morning and demand sex. I used to think it was just on the womans side.
i know, sexual property.
i want to be the sexual property of my wife. i didn't think that was unusual.
I would drive outside her office
inside a Monster Truck, and propose to her using a megaphone.
yes!
yes yes yes!
im a man, but... that's perfect.
It would give me a chance to wear that
Evel Knieval outfit as well.
I'd pull out every cliché in the book
Bended knee, expensive weekend away, blah blah.
Still... not gonna happen.
I'd pull out my cliché.
A couple we know where in the upstairs of our bar tonight.
His parents, her parents up from Kent. We assume that it was to discuss nuptuals.
And there was me thinking...
wouldn't it have been great
if she'd said something like "no fucking chance"?! haha.
When I proposed
we were in bed and I said 'maybe we should get married.' and she laughed for 10 minutes.
^ and then what?
then he put his pants back on.
ZINGLOL
^ half true
i only ever ask girls to marry me when i'm getting head
and so far it's 7/7 for being dumped within a week
Someone (Dan) proposed to his
girlfriend (Celia) at our Christmas Day dinner party at the pub. It was ace. She was all weepy, and then all the other girls got weepy, and then some of the boys got weepy. It was a massive weep fest. Then we stopped weeping and someone played Creedence Clearwater Revival and lit cigars. Good times.
that sounds like the greatest christmas ever
I had an amazing Christmas Day.
Truth.
with me and mr.strawberry
it was a "hmm maybe we should get married?" from a week after we met for about a year and a half. defo no bended knee stuff or tears :(
Why didn't you just punch him in the crotch?
He'd have gone down on one knee and cried for sure.
I've been proposed to by three different guys:
when I was 18, when I was 26, and when I was 31.
My experience is that marriage proposals can be whimsical - I wasn't left impressed by any of them because I knew deep down that the heart wasn't in it from either side, even though at
I don't think it is so much about the act, and how it's done - it's very much about the meaning behind it... and whether the passion and love is there. The most recent proposals used to happen every week... so the impact on them is kind of lost.
I think when there is ignition on both sides, it would be spectacular for both people involved.
But I'm a mushy romantic and romance, to me, does not equate with money at all. Nor grandiose gestures.
**I'm also a big believer in that old Irish proverb of 'True Love happens after the first grandchild' because I look at my parents who are still blissfully happy and in love after over 55 years of marriage... and am fucking envious as hell.
^^ tangent alert.
Three times?!?
I'm doing something wrong!
Actually, if you examine my track record closely, it's me who is doing something wrong ;-)
How's life Copenhagen??!
How many grandchildren do your parents have?
Mine are on zero and this is probably why my mother has taken to feeding the nieghbourhood cats.
they have five grand kids.
I was fifteen when the first one came along and actually remember watching my parents fall in love again. It was very sweet to watch. My parents are the best people on the planet. Seriously.
Wrong.
That is MY parents.
my girlfriend runs a knitting group...
I'd probably knit her a ring one time in her company and just blurt it. No need for expenditures!
