that was horrible, daveymark.

why not put the ring on a greased pig and tell her to catch it. If she can then she's worth marrying.

I bought the ring sunday,
.7 carat
clarity vs2
premium cut
I color


I'm proposing in may.... where'd you buy the ring and how much?


That's your first mistake..
Ring should be no smaller than 1 carat.
Women likes to show off and compare.. 1 carat is acceptable to most occasions.
If it's less than 1 carat, the often feel inferior to other women..

Women are like that..

My woman's ring had 3 diamonds adding up to one carat I think....I've done well to forget everything involved in wasting a large sum of money on a shiney piece of metal.

If she had said the main diamond isn't big enough, I would have taken the ring back and rescinded my offer. I don't have time for that bullsh|t.

Im not asking if I should get married Im asking if you guys have any clever ideas on how to ask

do you hereby promise to not: nag, be a complete pain in the ass, take all my money/assets, garnish my wages from here to eternity, sleep around, be a complete and utter bitch?

If so then sign on the dotted line of this now legally binding contract and you'll get this lovely ring.

This takes some thought and coordination.
Make reservations at a nice restaurant and tell the hostess what your intentions are.
Before you and her go out that day go buy a dozen roses bring them to the restaurant or i guess you can get them delivered to the restaurant...
When you arrive let them know who you are.
And have waiters and waitresses deliver 1 rose each till 11 of them are in her hands. then get up and go to the bathroom and come back with the 12th rose and get down on 1 knee and pop the ?

Take her home, and do the knee thing.
