Sheesh, getting engaged is alot of work....

[buck]

So I did the hard part, saved up and bought the engagement ring. Now I have to keep my mouth shut and pretend everything is normal until mid April. Meanwhile I have to drive 5 hours (each way) to go see her dad and formally ask him (it?s his only daughter). I have absolutely no friggen clue as to how to bring it up and talk about it. We have reservations at this bed and breakfast for a three day weekend the middle of next month. I have never been to this island and have no idea where to take her or how to ask.....

Yes i know i am being a wuss, but I love this girl and she means the world to me.

Unfortunately, the proposal ideas link on this page is the only one that costs. But maybe you could take some of the other stories and adapt them to your needs. Text

Congrats and good luck!

[LordSnailz]

you'll be fine ... at least the engagement is wayyyyy easier than planning the day of

 

[EagleKeeper]

Engagement is the easy part.

Living up to the committment afterwards becomes the rough part (and also the best)

 

[YJK76]

Use a line from a YouTube 'I love my gf' video. Like "The spaces between my fingers are for your hands to fill"

Seriously, best of luck.

I got engaged just after Christmas this past year. Yeah, it's a cinch. I tried coming up with what I was going to say and thought I did alright with it all, but she told me later that once I started and she knew it was coming she was so overwhelmed and wrapped up in the moment she pretty much ignored what I was saying and can't remember what I actually said anymore

I guess she knew when to say yes though.

I didn't ask her dad before. I knew they liked me fine.

And yeah, the easy part is almost over for you. I'm trying to plan the day of now and man, what a headache.

Yea, I really dont have to ask the dad, however, its something that I have wanted to do out of respect. Where did you ask your SO if you dont mind me asking?

Spelling.

[Nutdotnet]

Dude...it's easy...just say,

"Sup, you wanna fvck for the rest of our lives or what?"

Preferrably in a loud, smoky bar and you being ******-ass drunk.

Congratulations man! That would be the hardest part for me, keeping my big mouth shut. I give my gf her birthday and xmas presents early just because I cant keep a surprise from her. Good luck with that.

 

[GoingUp]
