Where to Propose!!!

I'm sorry, you've known her a year and have only spent holidays together, which is basically called "the honeymoon period".
Also, not only are you rushing that it took you about 30 minutes to decide how and where to propose.

I see this happen all the time, I even came close myself.
We spent a year on and off meeting each other, it was really nice.
Then you live together and she turns into a she-devil.

Also I can't believe how naive you are thinking she couldn't do anything bad, can you tell the future? I don't know anyone that can.
Goodluck though, but you sound like a young person for the first time hooking up with a girl and is head over heels about her, mistaking lust for love.

Oh, and you don't really know her, seriously spend more time together.
How long does a visa last, 3 months? Try get that far.

Wrong. Again, some people cant read.

1: I have met her family, mum, brother, sister and cat and they are nice people.

2: I did say that nobody can predict the future, did you read that? Oh, guess not. *sigh*.

3: 30 MINUTES?????? Jeez, some people.

1:
What has that got to do with anything?

I guess you should remember what you put in threads.
I didn't mean seeing into the future so literally, it was in response to your response to this;

shes not really your gf of 1 year is she, not when shes living in Russia, count the days youve spent together and that is how long she has been your gf, you will be a divorce statistic waiting to happen if you marry this woman now, lol

speaking as somebody who is married to an eastern european woman, its a different culture, and you have so many problems to discover and resolve before you should even think of marriage, its not something you should do on a whim

Such problems as? We have had lots and lots of holidays and breaks away together.
But she defiantely does not have evil intentions, thats for sure!



You don't know what she's like when you're not spending holidays together.
Holidays and Breaks are fun, remedial everyday being around each other is a whole other story.

I was in your shoes (without the wanting to get married bit), she was perfect.Right until a few months after spending everyday at home together.
She went from perfect, right? Perfect... to being physically abusive and physcotic and a whole load more I could rant on about. Bunny boiler is another word that springs to mind.

Think i have decided on Mauritius, just have to check Visa Requirements for Russians. How about writing "Will you marry me?" in the sand? Mwaha, how corny!

35 Minutes, I'm sorry for getting it wrong




Lastly:
We will be getting married in August/September in St Petersburg.

We? Does she know that? St Petersburg, did you just plan that with her online now? uh... so you've planned to get married you just need to surprise propose? ...nice surprise.

I dont see how else i can treat this situation. Time is against us. I dont think you realise how hard a long long long distance relationship is. Its not easy being far away and all that we both want is just to live together and be happy. We will just get married in office in Russia, when she is in UK, have a 'proper' un-official wedding.


Time is against you how? Why? What's the rush? I understand what a long distance relationship is like I've had two and I am in one now.
Something doesn't add up.


Just trying to air caution at you man, everyone here has been saying the same thing I have and that marriage is not something you do after knowing someone for so little time.
(Even if I'm against marriage and don't want to - save that reason for another day)

Ride in on horseback dressed as a night with a couple of other people.

Although You'll probably just scare her :p

To dress as that I would need to source a black hole from somewhere, or maybe just a black blanket :p

Pfft tell her she's gonna have to propose.

I have told her that I'm proposing as early as possible this year, as in a number of years my salary will have risen, thus cheaper to get a ring now :D:D:D

I don't understand the point.

She doesn't want me to propse with loads of people around, clapping and all that jazz. Plus she obviously wants me to put some serious thought into it, like I wouldn't. Although leavig Left 4 Dead halfway through a campaign and proposing to her on the sofa should shock her enough ;) :D
 
Well, he also posted a few weeks ago that he was having trust issues and now he wants to marry her.

Weird huh?

Read some of his other threads including the comedy goldmine that was 'I have £2 million quid please spec me aa £150,000 spceial car' in Motors then it starts to become a little more clear :p
 
Would have to advise some caution as well mate, I've had a few longer term relationships down (two of these being longish distance) and everything always goes well initially, it's only when you move in, get past the initial buzz (which can last quite a while) that you actually get to know someone properly and as others have said you can find out you don't actually match up as well as you think.

I hope it all works out, I proposed to my other half last year and we're very happy, planning to get married late this year or next, neither of us are in a huge rush since we're enjoying being engaged and would rather save our money at the moment to fund our emigration to New Zealand.

For what it's worth I proposed after a weekend stay at Le Manoir but actually popped the question whilst we were having a cheapo picnic in the park the day after because that was more us and represented more the lifestyle we wanted to have when we move. I think big overblown gestures are okay but you do set a very high bar for yourself that could be thrown back at you. Why not pick something that would be easier to do again in 1/5/10 years time so it stays special?

Did he ever decide ? :D
