I just bought an engagement ring...

[vandalroyale]

...and now I'm scared out of my mind

Any advice on

1) How to finally ask?

2) How to relax? :-)

[TheLetGo]

pawn it. and sleep with a hooker.

[vandalroyale]

That just doesn't make any sense

[feigningapology]

You live in Salem? I'm surprised you didn't buy her meth instead. Just call up a fancy restaurant, make an appointment in a semi private booth, tell your gf you want to do a change of pace eating out, order wine, and pop the Q.

[vandalroyale]

I wouldn't mind hearing from some engaged/married people on here...not sure how many there are

Meth would definitely be more accessible and cheaper...and Yes I live in Salem...and I'm choosing to do so as well

[feigningapology]

Ask Drew Beringer, I think he mentioned a long time ago that he's engaged.

You're choosing to live in Salem? May I ask why? I have a friend down there who works for a Wells Fargo financial office (not an actual bank), and got sick of the daily commute to and from Portland.

I'll ask him if I can find him...

I also never would have thought I would have wanted to stay here. I graduated from Willamette and my girlfriend is from Keizer. I enjoy the slower pace things seem to go around here. I guess alot of it is that I hated living in Utah. You can honestly only live there for so long before you start hating people. Although, after hanging out downtown for the 4th of July, I realized just how many sketchy white trash people live here.

Willamette Uni. or Willamette high school in Eugene (I assume in Salem, but you weren't entirely clear)? Did you grow up in Utah, mormon, etc? I don't see what's so bad about there other than being the butt end of jokes. Yeah, there's a lot of white trash, and then lots of poor Mexican immigrant farming families (nothing against them)...the area just seems depressed economically in my mind as a reason to why I wouldn't want to live there by choice.

[tambam]

I don't know anything about how to propose, but congratulations and good luck. :-)

Sorry I wasn't too clear. I went to Willamette University. I also grew up in Utah but wasn't Mormon so that made (makes) things hard sometimes. A lot of the time it's fine, but it gets really old fast. And I know what you mean about the immigrant families. I don't necessarily want to live here for an extended period of time (although I wouldn't mind Portland and surrounding areas). I just pay dirt cheap rent (250/month) and until I actually take the next step, any money I can save is awesome.

[vandalroyale]

I don't know anything about how to propose, but congratulations and good luck. :-)

Thanks a lot-- i appreciate it

[vandalroyale]

anyone else?

[Melissa Johnson]

Drew's not engaged yet. Sometime in the next year or so he plans to be. PM the user "unwritten" - he just got engaged to his girlfriend. Oh, and pics of the ring plz.

I personally am not a huge fan of the Emerald cut, but she loves em. And who am I to tell her different? She's the one that has to wear it...

[vandalroyale]

it's not the exact ring, but its damn near identical

[vandalroyale]

It's also not from Walmart (where the picture is taken from) :-)

[feigningapology]

Hmm, I really thought was already engaged...weird on my part. There has to be more than 1 person other than slade or a S username that's in the gen. forum that's engaged.

[allamrikanrejct]

How to ask? Get creative with it! What are her favorite things do? Don't do something so cliche like a fancy restaurant!

[12:46AM]

man, i gotta start saving up for one of these. stupid money.

[Of Dust and Nations]

man, i gotta start saving up for one of these. stupid money.

haha, same here.

good luck to you, thread starter.

[ForeverInADay]

"So uh, you just want to like, fucking get married or something? Here."

[HangsLikeHeaven]

Hope all goes well.

LMFAO

[vandalroyale]

She would know something was up if I took her to a really fancy restaurant... I wouldn't do that anyways

[vandalroyale]

haha, same here.

good luck to you, thread starter.

Thanks alot

[vandalroyale]

"So uh, you just want to like, fucking get married or something? Here."

That's pretty much what my dad did...He said he wouldn't recommend it

Hope all goes well.

Thanks... I appreciate it

[vandalroyale]

If anyone else has any input, or is just bored from a slow news day- let me know your thoughts...

[l3m]

niiicee ring! When you pop that she'll definitely be yours. Like someone else said, don;t make it obvious. I don't know if practicing in the mirror would be any help?

[melvicious]

I think it should be personal and not in a big open public setting.

I'd never wanna be asked while tons of people watched

[feigningapology]

pop the question in bed, get champagne with a homemade dinner and pop the ring in her glass, take her to the coast and propose on the beach (can't be too out of the ordinary since Salem/Dallas is like 20 minutes away from the beach for a nice sunny day), spend a day in portland shopping afterwhich go to dinner to do it, do the rose petals up the stairs with you waiting upstairs in the bedroom on one knee. Do something creative, something she won't forgot and she won't say no to.

[myantiyou]

"So uh, you just want to like, fucking get married or something? Here."

hahahahahahahahahaha.



Uh, on a more serious note, just go with the flow and wing it. Thats what I'd do. Just don't ask her on a bus or something, like my dad.

Pretty ring, by the way. Good on you.

[rerelease_]

i hope it all turns out well

[konstantine94]

Good luck. That ring is freaking gorgeous. Lucky girl! I think every girl knows what kind of engagement ring and wedding dress she wants, haha. My friend and I were just discussing this earlier tonight.

[vandalroyale]

Thanks for the kind words

[vandalroyale]

Yeah, she said I better not because she would get so embarassed and awkward...which oddly makes me want to do it

I kinda like that idea...it has been nice at the beach and that definately is something we do on occasion...I'll tuck it away ... thanks

dude, i want to get proposed to on stage in front of a sold out show. haha.

[stacymichelle]

i say either re-live the first date/first kiss spot... you know, the "this is how it started...this is how i want it to be forever"

or
put the ring in like. a fortune cookie. or if she likes barbies, one of my friend's now fiance got her a wedding barbie, and put the ring on the fake cake thing and got down on one knee.

any other ideas, PM me, i'll do my best to help

We first met at Applebee's and then went to a Honky Tonk dance club...I'm not sure either of those places are the most romantic...and our first kiss was on my old apartment's couch...ha

[chcougar1]

YES. My ex girlfriend recently got engaged and this is what the guy did.

He took her to the place they had their first date and first kiss and all that good stuff (which happens to be on the waterfront here in Portland. It was on her birthday....he took her there, it was pouring down rain and he asked her to stand looking away from him for 60 seconds.....he wrote Will You Marry Me in pink chalk and was on his knee with the ring when he told her to turn around.....

I guess she dropped everything she was carrying and she said yes (she thinks lol) and he picked her up over his shoulder screaming she said yes!!!! and twirling her around in circles......

I thought it was pretty decent haha

[chcougar1]

Also...here's her ring


http://www.dimendscaasi.com/images/products/large/ten04C_large.jpg

[fueledbyiz]

my sister's boyfriend lives out in albany, ny (we live in beaverton, or). he flys out here once a month and sometimes she goes out there, but he came here for her birthday and went ring shopping with my other sister while she was out with one of her friends. then he spent all afternoon in a room with me and my other sister brainstorming ways to propose. he ended up wrapping it up in a napkin and then proposing at her birthday dinner after a few drinks. it was kind of lame, tbh, but everyone got to see so i guess that was pretty cool.

another sister of mine's husband drove them out to sunriver and rented out a vacation house or something. she woke up one morning and he was gone, but he left a bouquet of roses and info on a spa appointment he had made for her for that day. so she spent all day at the spa and then he came by to pick her up and they went home and ate some fancy dinner and he had gone out to buy a banana split from whatever joint makes really good banana splits in sunriver, which he gave to her with the ring on top in the hot tub. unfortunately it had started to melt and he had to dig the ring out of the ice cream before she ate it.

good luck :D

[Melissa Johnson]

Thanks Melissa. I'll PM him right now. How would you want to be asked? Anything I should consider or avoid?

I've already told Jason no sporting events or resturants - sort of like Phoebe's rules in Friends. Oh and no to any AP news / gen forum posts either..and no zoos too. (He knows a couple who got engaged at the zoo.)

And I've told him no gold and that I prefer princess cut. Those are pretty much my only guidelines.

[houstoncalls!]

Obviously there's not too much advice I can give haha, but I hope everything goes well for you man.. I'm sure it will :-)

[Nudge]

I'm married.
First my husband took my to my favorite japanesse resturant, but since they only sat in tables of 8 he said we should go (I knew something was up)

Then, he said that he was going to take me somewhere else, we drove to downtown charlotte, and he did it in this little place in downtown with waterfalls and fountains. He said he had no plan B and just saw it and went with it (you might want one). He said he had a big speech planned, but in the end he just got on one knee and asked and I said yes, and we lived happily ever after....

No way you can avoid being nervious, that is part of it.

Also, he asked my father for permission, which got him lots of brownie points in my parents eyes.

An AP Engagement Sticky would be awesome- what are you talking about?? :-)

She also said no baseball games and not at a concert...which i don't really have a problem with...I just don't wanna screw up the asking...

Yeah- I am definitely going to ask her dad for permission...although I don't really know the etiquitte behind that-- did he do it very formal? or was it like a half hour conversation and that was it?

Her parents are going out of town in August and I think we are supposed to pick them up when they get back to the airport. I was thinking of bringing the ring and when she goes to give her parents a welcome home hug, I get on my knees so when she turns around I ask her... I dunno... thats all that has come to mind so far

Obviously there's not too much advice I can give haha, but I hope everything goes well for you man.. I'm sure it will :-)

He just stopped by a week before and asked my dad. It was short, they prob have a good idea of what type of guy you are - a long discussion would seem awkward. My dad thought that he was going to ask to borrow money or his truck, which he would have said no to, but said yes to him marring me.

By the way, how long have you guys been together? Just wondering.

[kevincollateral]

my wife and i used to go look at christmas lights ever year as a tradition..so when i proposed i took her on a carriage ride to look at christmas lights and asked on the carriage...she said yes, so thats always good.

Aww that's so cute! Chris, when we get married, propose to me that way, k? Just kidding, lolz. But you'll be at my wedding for sure.

[pshh]

make a scavenger hunt haha

[kevincollateral]

make a scavenger hunt haha

my friend did that. he was going to school at MIT and his girlfriend was here in texas at the time...well he sent her on this crazy scravenger hunt all over town getting clues at every stop...and it finally led her to this really nice spa where she was supposed to get all the spa treatment done. well when they pulled the curtain to lead her to her room he was there with flowers on his knee (she thought he was still up in boston) and asked her.

i thought it was pretty darn good.


my brother wrote (well my sister and i helped him) will you marry me HUGGGE in the sand for his ex wife when we were at our beach house in florida..so in the morning she went out to have a cigarette on the balcony (7 stories up) she saw it..plan as day i might add....it took forever

[chcougar1]

Aww that's so cute! Chris, when we get married, propose to me that way, k? Just kidding, lolz. But you'll be at my wedding for sure.

Haha. Yeah right...no one wants to marry me;)

Good stuff...hope you had a good time downtown the other day!

[vandalroyale]

Ok so I finally asked her parents for their permission to marry her tonight...that was the most nervous I'd been in a while

[Anthony Lutz]

I take it they said yes? If so, congrats!

[vandalroyale]

I take it they said yes? If so, congrats!

Ha...yes they did...I had no doubts they would, but it was still stressful

[xvszero]

I don't even get the concept of popping the question without already knowing the answer.

I'd think most couples near that point would have already talked about it?

[vandalroyale]

I don't even get the concept of popping the question without already knowing the answer.

I'd think most couples near that point would have already talked about it?

Yeah, me neither...We have talked about it on numerous occasions...I've never understood why a guy would ask a girl to marry her unless they had talked about it and agreed they both wanted to do it...

[Fallinto_rhythm]

I say you should bring her to the place you met and then pop the question. You're so young to be tying the knot, but I wish you the best of luck.

[Gumbyjag]

as far as relaxing while you ask her goes, you're definitely gonna be nervous as fuck but you just gotta remind yourself why you love the girl so much and how much you want to spend the rest of your life with her it'll come out easier.

I've never understood why a guy would ask a girl to marry her unless they had talked about it and agreed they both wanted to do it...

sometimes it just happens that way. one or the other is just ready. communication problems, i guess.

[maiabean]

I dunno if this would help or not, but this is how my step-dad proposed to my mom:

When they were "dating" for a while (maybe about 2 years or so), they were in the mall, and he went to one of those 25 cent machines, and got one of those plastic rings, and asked her to marry him with that. They giggled about it and that was the end of it. A few years later (Christmas '05), they went out one night to go look at the Christmas lights in our downtown harbor area. He pulled the same plastic ring out, and asked her again. She laughed and said, "Didn't you already try this once?" But then he got down on one knee and pulled out a box, opened it and it lit up, shining on the ring. He asked her to marry him, and she said yes. They had a beautiful wedding June of '06. The end.

I'm sure my version of the story is missing intricate details, but I wasn't there.

Either way, good luck to you. Hope you get it all figured out.

P.S. There's a show on Style Network called I Propose. Maybe check that out for some ideas if you don't think that would be too homo (since, ya know, it's generally a girl-channel).

[vandalroyale]

The only thing is we first met at Applebee's and then went to a Honky Tonk dance club with a bunch of friends...not exactly the most romantic places

pawn it. and sleep with a hooker.


that was hilarious

Congrats, man.

I was engaged for about a year two years ago. The minute I turned 18, I bought the ring. It didn't last and lead to the eventual demise of the relationship. Just make sure it's what you truly want. Good luck.

Yeah, it's gonna be near impossible to relax...I was debating taking her to the beach and doing it at sunset-- but that kinda sounds cliche

cliche is good! sometimes. in this case it is i think. make it a surprise trip or something and like kidnap her and take her. hahaa.

Thanks for the congrats...I did make sure it was what I wanted...I've been with her over a year and a half and she's everything that I want... I thought I knew what love was at 18, but I wasn't anywhere close

Yeah, I just wish the Oregon Coast had more reliable weather...85 % of the time it just seems to be 62 degrees and overcast...wish I could predict a 72 degree day with no clouds...
