PDA

View Full Version : Marriage Proposal -- Opinion Needed?!



Liberi Fatali
05-06-2008, 12:16 PM
So I was going to propose to my girlfriend this Saturday, not actually on Mother's Day. May 10th is when my dad was born, so I selected that day -- it just so happens that Mother's Day is the next day. (STONEWALL JACKSON ALSO DIED ON MAY 10TH).

Anyway, since this is her first actual mother's day due to being pregnant, I went a bit overboard and bought her at least 8 different (very) expensive presents.

My idea was this: I'd wrap them in order of size, from largest to smallest -- similar to those dolls that go in one another. You know, the ones where the first one is huge, then you open it and there's a smaller one, and you open that one to find a smaller and smaller one, etc.

Well, the very last box would obviously be the ring, which is the smallest. So there would be 9 wrapped presents total, with the ring at the very end.

How does that sound? Is that unexpected? But do I still have to get down on a knee and say something? Do I even have to be in the room when she does it? I want her not to expect it, and if I'm hovering around her while she's opening, she may catch on.

Any advice, thoughts, suggestions?!

Awww, that's so sweet. Yes you still have to say something, I don't think getting down on a knee is necessary, but at least hold her hand. Yes you have to be in the room, lol. Do you usually leave the room when she opens presents?

Maybe have her open all the other gifts, then tell her there's one more that you want to open for her, then break out the ring box, which I wouldn't wrap, there's no need to.

Eh, gift overkill will be a great story for the kids, but have fun trying to follow that up each anniversary. Nonetheless, just make it about her, and less about the presents themselves. Take her out for a nice dinner, have a friend sneak in and place the gifts however you'd like around your place. Place a rose on the bed, have some candles lit, and when you get back, you'll be all set.

Not that I'm some kind of romantic guru, but the suprise really is everything. Just try to be sure she isn't overwhelmed by the gifts, and keep your eyes on hers. Every time she'll look at you after opening each gift, the eye contact will help her stay focussed on the man who gave them to her, rather than what she'll wear with the gift, or use the gift for, etc.

Box them in reverse size order and have her open the biggest box last. I think she'd catch on to the boxes getting smaller and smaller.

I second Allereli's suggestion to keep the last box hidden. Womenfolk have x-ray vision when it comes to that kind of thing. If there is a tiny box anywhere in sight she is going to know what is up.

Mixing up the order of the boxes might be a good idea as well.

Don't keep the ring in a ring box. Females are trained since birth to recognize jewelery and it's containers.

Wait until she miscarriages, and if not, wire hangers.

You could always do the whole, "Ain't paying for no child support, trick." Make sure you really emphasize the double negative. "Ain't not no" works nicely as well. I should know.

You always have to say something about "Getcho' ass in the car."

And, if you still have valid testicles, you've found yourself a bride. Congratulate yourself, my friend, you have just been laid.

I wouldn't recommend an absentee proposal. Besides, don't you want the memory of her expression when she realizes what's going on?

You should see us when that Tiffany blue gift bag comes out.

Also, eight gifts really is a lot. Maybe save half of them to spread out over Mother's Day, her next bday, and when she comes home from the hospital so it's not ALL about the baby.

Honestly it's all about the surprise, don't make it easilly guessable. For instance when I asked mine if she would I took her to Vegas for our b-day. Later that night I went to take a shower in our room and I yelled out to here hey honey can you bring my boxers in here. I hade writen the proposal on the big room length mirror and had an arrow pointing down to the ring on the counter.

Of course like most women she came in threw them on the counter and started to bitch at me, as I was leaning against the wall sipping a beer and smoking, I just casually pointed behind here at the mirror. She turned around her jaw dropped as she saw the writing on the wall and turned back to me then turned back to the mirror. the gawking and looking back and forth happen for a good 20 seconds. She then snatched the ring up and tackled me.

All in all do something unexpected those kind of things stick into their minds. Sides it makes a funny story now.

Getting frisked is sort of like being laid. At this point in my life. By comparison to my promiscuous sex life as of nearly the last two years. I wonder if Jews can be Catholic priests. I got the pedo' stash. Maybe I'll throw in a landing strip. On two hair fronts.

You're the one who started with the insults. You also messed up the perfectly nice proposal thread too.

To stay on topic...
I agree with whomever stated that you should leave the ring in a separate box for last.

For that matter, I agree with the person who said you should not give her all the gifts at the same time, and instead spread them out for the duration of the pregnancy and at the delivery. She'll want presents for her rather than just the baby.

I do worry about you starting off giving her so many expensive gifts though. As nice as that is, in a few years she'll turn into Dudley and ask why she only got 37 presents.

You could start off with the ring and the proposal, which would make the remaining 8 gifts anti-climatic and thereby neutralizing the expectation that you top yourself every Mother's Day with more and more gifts- because honestly you can't top a marriage proposal (except maybe with a divorce notice). I agree with the others about spreading them out. I think it will be more fun for you (and her) if you give her several gifts over the pregnancy.

Uh, I hate jewelry, because I lose it, constantly. I even told my boyfriend I don't want an expensive ring because I can't wear it at work and I know if I had to take it on and off I'd lose it.


Anyway, I think the gift idea is the sweetest thing ever, I'd do what Sylvan Dreams said put it in the biggest box and go small to big, I'd never expect that.

CrystalTears
05-06-2008, 02:22 PM
I hope she isn't the type to celebrate the day you proposed to her. It may wind up being a really long, ass kissing week every year. At least you're not getting married the day before Mother's Day.

I'm just not a fan of planning special events around national holidays. One of the two always gets the short end of the stick.

I would second or third the advice that 8 or 9 gifts is too much. Unless you tell her at the same time that they count for the next 8 or 9 years of your marriage...

But really, it is hard/inappropriate for us to give advice on something to do with two people we don't know. What kinda girl is she? Was she raised on richs, and you feel she will expect all 9 gifts or it won't be enough? Is was she poor? Is she just a normal gal with a normal upbringing?

9 expensive gifts could be taken quite differently from different girls. I am sure they would all be happy, but there is more to it than that.

Some might think your trying too hard (Where are you in the current relationship?, is it a long ongoing thing, you just put the bun in the oven on accident and are doing what you want, or are you doing what you think is right to try and help take care of it...)

Some might very well expect extravagant gifts in the future. You don't want to go too far up front.

Yup, save the rest like others have said. She'll want something for when she gets home from the hospital. Then there will be anniversaries, her birthday, etc. Don't blow your whole load at once, you'll want to spread it out so she isn't always expecting something so extravagant.

You really nitpick some stupid shit, huh? Who really cares in what order he responds to your posts?

I'm not nitpicking your comments. I'm making fun of how dumb you are. Big diff.

I'm sorry did I take them out of order and mess up your master argument?

Nice to see that when you folks can't defend your bullshit you do nothing more than perpetuate it.

I have my female wrapped around my finger and I don't even get her anything for her birthday.

Oh yes, it's a good life.


Yeah. what Rob said, that's kind of a Douche bag thing to not do. You should at least get her something on her birthday. Even if she says "Don't get me anything.", you could get her flowers.

in retrospect, why not combine the two viewpoints. Tell her she doesn't know what the hell she's talking about and that you'll decide what she wants. Then get her a nice gift. She'll fear you and be delighted simultaneously.

So what happened with the proposal? It's been done already, right? You can't leave us hanging.:medieval:

Hah, my apologies -- for some reason or another the last four days or so I haven't been able to log into the PC under my name. I type in my username and then enter my password and it says it's logging me on, but then it just takes me back to enter the username/password again. Weird.

Anyway, the proposal went 'well'. Not 'great', merely 'well'. Unfortunately, last Saturday morning she decided to take the parents and myself to go register at stores for our baby shower. This. Was. Dreadful. We were seriously in stores for about six hours.

Being half-way through pregnancy and having to stand looking at baby items all day would probably put anyone in a sour mood, so needless to say she was exausted and grouchy.

After we masqueraded at the stores we came home and ate lunch. I asked her if she would like to go walk at the park with me and our dog (she loves the dog more than me, so it HAD to be there). She reluctantly said yes.

I brought the wrapped presents (in one big box, mind) and we left them in the car and did the walk first. She whined and moaned the entire time about how tired she was and how sleepy she was getting, so I was opting not to propose at all and just wait.

But, I had to do it that day -- it was the day I was waiting for. So after the walk we went up to a bench they had and I let her open the presents. She was still moaning throughout the first few, but as the presents got smaller (and better), she started to perk up and smile a bit. I have a feeling she was catching on, but I haven't asked her yet. She got to the last box, which was a box that a watch came in that I had bought myself a few years ago.

Ontop of the ring box I put a picture of her dog as a puppy. She assumed that was all that was in the box at first, but then she lifted it up and saw the ring. Unfortunately for me, a car of three old ladies pulled up right as she got to that damn box, so I had to get down on one knee (I wasn't intending to). I asked her if she'd marry me, and she turned to me and said, "Yes, of course", and gave me a smooch.

She's mad at me at the moment, though, because we can't agree on a baby boy name. Haa. She was absolutely thrilled to be showing the ring off to people, though -- typically associated with, "Tabor finally popped the question!"

Congrats!

That said, shame on you for making your pregnant fiance go on a walk after spending 6 hours at the stores. Meanie!
