have a huge "ring" box, pop the question........open the box to find a big 7 gram nug. (i deff marry you):thumbsup:
side note: hope everything goes well for you Kenn
my wife is going to suffer before she gets spoiled
my final test and way id propose would be extreme
my wife to be and i would have to climb a very difficult mountain peak
im thinking something like aconcagua or kilimanjaro
they are not that difficult where it become impossible
it takes about a few weeks of harsh conditions to summit
hiking big mountains tends to bring out the best and worse in a person
if my lady has enough determination and strength to make it to the top
then for sure i have made the right choice
upon summiting i would drop down on my knee
and ask this woman to spend th erest of her life
being my friend and companion
then id doggy style her on a cliff edge
^giggity :D
well im gonna propose on xmass day and produce an engagement ring 2 my gf. At least that way it saves me money i wont need 2 buy her any xmass presents jus the engagement ring so it`ll save me quite a bit of money in the long run. Who said romance was dead lol
I would wait until you at least in your late 20s.... *Most* kids are not mature enough until then. Been there, done that. Give yourself a chance to live and mature for a while.
Once your married, your options are greatly diminished.....and when children come along, then the rest of your life gets put on hold for the next 20+ years.......again, been there, done that.
Sorry, I don't want to be a buzzkill, but..... we are talking about the voice of experience here.
Steve you bring up a good point. It seems that everyone I know is getting married at around 21-22. Personally, that's just nuts. I hate to say it, but more likely than not, all those early marriages won't end up well. And hey, if they do happen to work out, more power to them. I'm just saying why would you want to rush things along if you're so young ya know?
In either case best wishes man. I'd help you out but only you know what would truly make it special for the two of you. :jointsmile:
Umm yeah, take a look at the "Marriage" thread before popping the ultimate question. You want to have a female companion for the rest of your life and raise children, which is fantastic, but do you have the funds to adequately pull it off? If not, marriage is the WRONG direction.
And a further note Kenn, this world is going to be much different in the future in terms of economy, job markets, etc. Marriage for you may possibly be financial suicide.
I suggest you plan AHEAD, there will be already enough stress on your shoulders as an independent single man. Let's be smart here and take advice from those experienced, not including me, fortunately.
Make the decisions that you know will bring you happiness.
Lol but I mean to be fair, I'm pretty sure Kenn is not one of these young ruffians we speak of...at least I don't think so anyways.
Still though, you ultimately know what you want, so go get it then eh? ;)
First time:
I was 17 she was 15....I turned 18 and she turned pregnant. Proposal: So what do ya think, should we?:wtf:
Second time:
Both in our twenties and wasted after sex.
Proposal: OH POOKY POO....:giggity:
Hoped she forgot but damn! She brought it up when I graduated tech and I said, "You plan it and if I'm not out of town that weekend I'll be there." Should have planned a business trip that time. :wtf4:
So do as you will and good luck on your decision. Be SURE to have a lil' nest egg off to the side just in case though. Better safe than sorry as they say.:thumbsup:
Have a good one!:jointsmile:
im going to hide a ring in the bottom of her copenhagen can...
Well said.Quote:

I was with a girl for almost three years when I was in my late teens/early 20s and I loved her more then I thought any man loved a woman in all of history. But we were young and we both ended up changing.
My suggestion is buy your girl something nice... A diamond necklace or something. But hold off on marriage until you're atleast in your mid to later 20s :twocents:
Okay I am going to be real nice and forgo the usual "What are you thinking!" bit that I would usually give someone.
I am also going to leave out the part about the bank account in the cayman islands and how to hide your assets.
Now say we were smoking a bowl somewhere and talking about this and you asked me this same question. Well after the the bit about being a sucker and hiding assets and prenuptial agreements- So now I am convinced you are serious about being in love and wanting to marry her.
Here is a few things you can try. If she is a sports fan you can always do the Scoreboard "Will you marry me" thing. That is a classic.
Or you could arrange for the bank that you use to put it on there big billboard on a certain date.
On Halloween you could give her her favorite candies in a little trick or treat bag and put the ring in there or wrap it up in a candy wrapper and give it to her. Tell her she has earned a treat!
There are a million ways to do it based on who you are and who she is.
Good luck. Wish you the best!
My husband asked me on Christmas Eve morning in bed when we woke up. I was over at his apartment, and he brought me some coffee and a croissant, and on the little tray there was a ring box. So now we celebrate the proposal at that time of year and he often gives me additional wedding rings (I don't like a single look) at Christmastime to "renew" the decision. I knew something was up. We'd gone out to a romantic dinner the night before and he'd been acting funny and nervous for two days. I think he was planning to ask at dinner the night before but lost his nerve.
Christmas is a good time to ask. For one thing, if there's a ring involved, everyone can look at it at Christmas parties. Jewelry always makes a good Christmas present and engagement makes for good holiday memories. And if you ask around holiday time, it gives you plenty of time to plan a spring or summer wedding.
Speaking as a hopeless romantic.......ROMANTIC! ALL women love romantic no matter what they say. That is, if they have feelings period.
Ur rite its a plant..I aint no young punk im actually 38 and we already have 4 kids ..Weve been together for 13 years ..and because of kids never had the chance to marry ..It just seems it would complete our family if we were married.I cant see it changing our relationship at all we are pretty solid.I just want to do it special not just a another proposal.;)Quote:

When she gets on to the web to serf, that is the first page she will see.
Kenn, don't listen to all the marriage haters. I married my husband on our 20th anniversary together(Our daughter was 18), and it was a great decision. It wont change your relationship after so long. It truly is just a piece of paper! It meant a lot to my husband, not so important to me but I'm glad I did it.:thumbsup:
Thanks happi ..nice story so u married after u had children too ..thats cool ..Im not listenin to the haters .its good to see other peoples point of view but my minds made up I love my babe to death and wether we are married or not that wont change . I just want to give her that special day she dreams of.Quote:

My goodness Kenn, I had no idea you had four children! I never intended to deem you as a young punk, but my concerns for others get the best of me. I praise you and your great soon to be wife and wish for a bright future for your children. Be safe! :thumbsup:Quote:

make your own lines originally is a huge plus....
but like:
<name> i think we're very close, so i now have the confidence for this.... i dream of you almost every night, and th eonly nightmare i ever have is you not in my life.... i want to wake up feeling every morning what i do now, i want to spend my life with you... i love you more then words can express, and material is nothing, the ring is for tradition... the real treasure here is the love and dedication you've given me, will you give me a chance to return it 10 fold as you deserve? will you marry me and love me forever?
