Marriage proposal...the logistics...

[Shakermaker]

You will be fine at the airport, do not worry. Yes, the staff see it a lot. Just make sure that you don't have anything that looks dodgy in your bag.

Also, however, the staff do have to randomly search a proportion of the items which go through the scanners, some do this themselves but the more advanced machines pick out a bag automatically and push it to one side for the staff. Maybe try and go through the scanner before your girlfriend and if you get picked, your bag will be being searched out of the way whilst hopefully she is still putting all her stuff back together and isn't watching too closely at what you have packed.

Good luck to you.

I don't really get the 'next year' thing. If you've decided the you want to marry her, why not ask her now?

We're going to be on the holiday of a lifetime to celebrate 15 years of being together. So I'm doing it on that date.

Fair enough, but if you get married beforehand you can use that as the honeymoon

I got mine clattered one night and then used a borrowed ring sizer on her after she'd passed out

Madness, I need more holidays, not less

Best thing I've read today!
