So... how did you propose to your fiance/spouse?

At the stroke of midnight on December 31, 1999 at 11:59 PM PST it was already January 1, 2000 at 6:59 PM in Australia ... proposed over the phone.

(still gets butterflies in his stomach remembering that moment)
 
Go take her to a nice Chinese or Asian Resturant but before then, get a ring and bake it in a fortune cookie with a slip saying "will you marry me". While having dinner (towards the end), ask a waitress or waiter to give her your fortune cookie with the ring. Tell her something like it's a special fortune cookie...

Then she will cry and everyone will look you guys and she will have to say yes...

<< rossman isn't it somewhat lame to propose over the phone? shouldn't you be in person? >>



Yes but she was in Australia, I was in Portland, Oregon, had no vacation time nor money to travel over there.

So under the circumstances I'm sure she didn't mind the "lameness" factor of my proposal 😀

Thats a good idea mate. Very sweet indeed.

::remembers for future reference😀::
 
My wife accually asked me to marry her!

I weighed the pro and cons (I was anti Mairrage) and decided "what the hell"

6 year later I haven't regretted it for more that a few days at a time!
 
i wish i had an adventurous story, but the best i can say is that i caught her completely off guard. we were going to out to eat at a nice restaurant and i popped the question between ordering and eating. she freaked and we were married 6 months later. 😀

That was in a movie, I forgot which one though.
 
Have to have one damn trustworthy waiter/waitress for that.. besides... I don't think I'd let them walk off to the kitchen with my ring... even if they don't take it, they could lose it... or someone else could take it. In my possession, then hers, at all times.. 🙂 I'm not spending that much money on it otherwise! 🙂

Do you guys always go for the platinum band? Some people say friends (etc.) don't look at the band, just the diamond... what did you spend the money on?
 
I proposed to my fiance at the beach. We went on vacation, and while she went to get some wine with a friend, I arranged a trail of sea shells to the balcony where I then proposed to her. She was very surprised! We are getting married in less than two weeks.🙂
 


<< Mongo smash!
Mongo hit girl on head
Mongo pull hair and drag back to cave
Mongo married

*ugh grunt* >>


Now you see why I had to civilize him before taking him into public with me. 🙂
