Ways you have asked someone to marry you

MaD_KiWi · 05-08-2005, 09:59 PM

Just a EOI, how some people have asked there partners if they will marry them, and enjoy a happy life together. Im sure there will be some romantic and funny replies.

Thanks

Simon

As my mum keeps reminding me. I really dont see the point in marriage though. You can be with someone for life without forkin out for a wedding and a piece of paper. And kids are f**kn annoying.

Hank the Deuce · 05-08-2005, 11:42 PM

True. Personally, I'm glad that me and the missus got married...just feels right for us. Ten years ago, if you had've asked me it would've been "I ain't gettin married....". I reckon it's up to the individual, although the women seem to want the whole nine yards.

Same with kids: once you've got them, your life's no longer your own... both mine are under 4 y.o (and #3 due next March), and they are a source of constant amusement and wonder. They're noisy and chaotic, but very special... mind you I can remember my life pre-kids, and I enjoyed it too...

Mind you, I was quite conventional with my proposal too, but it worked: took her away for a dirty weekend at a posh resort

:

: ... bit of tampering in the spa

: ... shout her dinner... get her a wee bit tipsy and giggly

: ... bit more tampering in the spa

: ... stake her out on the workbench and give her a right seeing to

:

: ... pop the question just before the vinegar stroke

:... ahh Hank you silver-tongued devil, gets 'em every time... mind you, when she found out that I'd been hiding her 1/2 carat ring in my socks and jocks drawer for 3 1/2 months

- just to keep her sweating

- she hit the roof!

I wanted to suprise my wife, it was while on a ride day at Phillip Island, i had just come in for lunch, i took her for a walk up the pits to see the podium mighty Mick Doohan had recently stood on, got down on one knee, opened the pocket in my leathers, and produced the $6500.00 sparkler in front of around 80 bikers.
I started cutting some decent laps after lunch, was too nervous before that.
Now whenever watching the awards at a Phillip Island motorsport event, i look at the podium and think, i was a winner standing there once

Wow. That's just wow.

Mitchay, you remind me of a guy at work who is just like you. Not getting married, not having kids (cretins, going by him). He even tells us his G/F doesn't, but to believe that, I'd have to hear it from her mouth.

I'm sure there are many people who are relieved to hear that......

Falcon Coupe, thats special. Nice work

I was proposed to via a mobile phone call from her mum while I was driving down a busy six lane road trying to drink a bogan juice (Farmers Union Iced Coffee), as she was to scared and wanted her mum to ask me there and then! I spilt the drink, said I'd think about it, then said yes. She then got cold feet.......

Now she lives in the UK and we're best friends.

We were at a restaurant and the table cloths had white paper over the top of them. I went to the toilet and came back to writing on the paper. "Will you marry me." with a yes tick box and a no tick box.

Said yes, then we chose the ring and he tried to pick up the ring and surprise me with in on bended knee at another restaurant. Only problem was, one of his best friends arrived at the same restaurant with some of his mates and pulled their table up to ours, so what was supposed to be an intimate proposal ended up being in front of his mates.

Now we're getting divorced. NEVER EVER AGAIN!!!!

XAGSV8 · 06-08-2005, 02:02 PM

14th Feb this year I made a candle lit dinner (I don't cook much) and desert. After that I got down on my knee and did it. It was very nerve racking even though we have been together for 7 years dating back to when we were at school. Getting married in April 06. Funny thing is my longest relationship before this was about 1 week.

Thats what I said when I was 19 but things change. It's not just a piece of paper it is about commitment together.

I think Mark made a very good point, one I'd never thought of before, even though I see nothing wrong with same sex marriages (if that's what you want to do).

My marriage lasted 6 years before the other half decided the grass on the other side was greener, so I sent him off to the greener side and when he wanted to come back he got quite a shock. Why would it be any different in same sex marriages, do gays have some special gene that makes them monogamous or stops them from succumbing to temptation?

Falcon Coupe, you're showing your homophobic side with that remark, it was on topic.

And that is why I am having a commitment ceremony this time around, I don't need a piece of paper to prove that I'm commited to one person.

Umm lets see first off I HATE NETBALL (very relevant...)
I had it all planned out, i was going to take her down the coast for a romantic wekend alone, was going to pop the question on a picnic somewhere by ourselves but then NO netball had to rear its ugly head and she had to go to some carnival thing in sydney so i proposed on the front seat of my car with her on the passenger seat, not very romantic at all

:
still was all good she said yes :evilking:

Erm, It wasn't on topic, let me revisit the topic in the first post:

How is a comment about the posters view of on marriage and relationships on topic? And just to point out, I'm not homophobic so don't try that old chestnut....
I read OMG as a comment at how far off topic do you wanna get?

Bringing things back on topic, I'd just moved to Brisbane, and had left my G/f in adelaide behind (her choice, she "didn't want to leave her family")
Booked a flight down, had bought a ring, was all geared to fly down and pop up at her work, drag her off to a nice lunch, and pop the question when she mentioned she'd started seeing someone else and "hope i was ok with it".
So yeah. didn't get to ask, but it was just going to be the classical proposal when i felt the timing was right during the outing....

Sucks to be me.

Bet you're glad she brought it up rather than after you asked!

Yeah. just wish she'd bought it up before I'd blown the money :(

As you can guess, she's not on my Christmass card list...

ferris01 · 06-08-2005, 05:54 PM

My brother proposed to his then girlfriend in one of those hot air balloons. She said it was the most romantic thing ever.

I'm being taken up in a hot air balloon in a couple of weeks. If he popped the question, I'd jump.
