Where to Propose!!!

So she wants a European passport then :D

While I agree with the others about it being far too short a time to know her, and certainly the holiday environment is not the same as a real life one, I do agree that when you meet someone you can tell pretty quickly that they are "the one". Good luck, hope it all goes well.
 
I proposed in my gf's kitchen.

She had her back to me, cooking some stuff on the stove.

I came up behind her and said: "[name of gf], I have a question for you".

Gf (somewhat distracted), said "Hmm?" or "Yes?" or something equally banal.

I reached round gf and held the ring in front of her: "Will you marry me?"

She practically collapsed against me. Then, after she'd finished squealing with delight, I pointed out that she still hadn't actually said "Yes" yet. :rolleyes: :p

Scored a free meal that day. Win/win! :)
 
Is it true that if you pile some savings into Premium Bonds, they can't touch them when things are divvied up in divorce proceedings? ie: that money becomes "safe"...
 
I'm assuming shes russian so propose to her in russian? Seems like the logical thing to do. Brave step my friend but goodluck. :)

EDIT: also look at austria Zell am See i'm sure there are prettier place but I like it, also there is quite an impressive waterfall nearby. (3rd tallest in europe iirc)
 
I wouldn't - she's been nailing me behind your back.

Seeing as fox replied while I was typing that, it goes for you too, pompey boy.

I don't honestly care about anything in this thread apart from when penski will post again :D:D:D

Ok maybe I do. Mine has said that if I propose in a restaurant then it will be a no, and she wants me to think about a special location, yadadadada, and no public question.

Can't wait to plan it :D

Pfft tell her she's gonna have to propose.
 
One thing I regret is not doing a more romantic proposal. She knew I was going to ask her (had her finger sized etc) and I just 'surprised' her in the bedroom (no, not like that!) a month or so after getting the ring after getting home from a trip away. It just felt like the right moment at the time and in a way was a relief to get it over with so we could get on with the next stage of our lives.

It's actually pretty embarrassing because people ask her/us how I proposed expecting some big romantic tale (with their 'awww, how sweet!' responses all queued up) and then it's a bit of a let down.

you should never enter a marriage with even the thought of ever splitting up. Let alone making pre-nupts/pro-nupts or anything else.
I dunno, if we went down that route hardly anyone would get married (a lot less than the 50% than don't get divorced). There's a big difference between having the thought of splitting up (just a thought, quite natural IMO) and actually having any doubts about your relationship. Even if you are really sure that you love someone, what is to say at some point in the future they won't do something to jeapordise the marriage (fall for someone else, get heavily into crime or whatever)? People who believe they can accurately predict exactly what another person will do for the next 50+ years are either very lucky or very naive.
