No, not "can i put in the other one?", but "Will you marry me?".

I am posting under an alias as there are a few folk on here who know me and i'd rather they didn't know until my girlfriend tells them!

So, i have the setting, the ring, an idea in my head but a couple of issues to sort out.

Do i have a song playing when i ask her? If so what are your suggestions (Not smack my bh up etc etc), any other nice touches to add? Any advice?

Thanks in advance biggrin

My advice? Don't do it.

But I'm a jaded old cynic, you go for it if it feels right.

Begin by stating that you have reached enlightenment and now understand that it is women that rule the world. All after that will be easy.

Songs are a bit naff. All in my humble opinion, of course.

I can't post where as everyone i know, knows where were going so it would give the game away. It is however a really nice location (secluded, stunning, exclusive and is going to impress!).

It's happening within the next 2 weeks.

The ring is a Platinum solitare which as soon as i saw it, i knew it was the one. It is perfect for her.

We've never really had "A song" even though we've been together for 6 years, we just like a lot of different songs. Saying that she does really like James Morrison - you make it real...

Oi! Stop looking at my history wink

That was a completly unrelated request though...

As for a song being a bit cheesy, i did think this. If it all goes to plan, the setting and the moment won't requre music, i just want to have everything covered.

On reflection, you're right.

The conniving, duplicitous, scheming, two-faced harlots that they all are.

Still, gotta love em.

Oh, sorry, you want the "All Women Are Lovely Fluffy Princesses" forum. Somehow, you've been misdirected to the "Real World" forum.

I think you're right. I am kind of thinking a song may be over the top and shuold just go aling with it as it happens.

So how did everyone do the deed? Any horror stories?
