Implementor Volgathras Posted March 29, 2012 Implementor Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hey yall, So, after five years I've finally screwed up the balls to consider getting ready to plan to propose. Ring is on it's way, and I've already applied for bankruptcy for what the damn thing's gunna cost What I need are proposal ideas. I want it to be kind of a production, since she's waited so long, but it also needs to be manageable in the money department. What did you do? How about your friends? What have you heard or seen that you liked? Let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venom Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Why don't you keep it simple. Call a very close familly of yours, tell them that you gonna propose, so they should know. Buy a bottle of good champagne, here comes the part, that guests have to assist you - your wife have to be away from the room, once the glasses are full, place the ring in her glass and surprise her.

Djriacen Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Glass is a good one. Are you and her into astronomy at all? It's something my fiance and I are quite passionate about. Science in general, really. Have a telescope? Take her stargazing! It would be extremely romantic to slip the box into the front just near the objective lens. Set the telescope up and have her look through. She'll not be able to see due to the obstructing ring case. When she gets up to check, she'll find the engagement ring while you two are being bathed by photons from stars passed. Wine and some snacks would be good too. Congrats! edit: Buying and naming a star after her would be a fantastic idea as well. It's not too expensive, either! ..there are so many, after all.

Trick Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 You know what, just toss her the ring in a box and say, " Eh..wanna?" with a shrug. No one does that. You'll be an original. A pioneer. (And maybe single.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Forsaken Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I sent mine on a treasure hunt. Had helium filled balloons with notes inside that lead her to the next location. All locations were places we went that had special meaning. Then the last location was my house, which was filled with about 75 other balloons. Had her pop them all until she found one with a note in it that said 'Hey look up'. I was on my knee and popped the question. Feel free to take it as an idea.

The Forsaken Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 How much did you drop on a ring? I spent about 5k and got a really nice ring out of it. I think I have pics laying aroudn somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mali Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 A D rings is colorless, but you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between D and lower ratings except that you are paying for it and likely sacrificing karat weight... 7k seems alot for a half karat but without seeing the ring it's hard to judge... some of that gold could go towards a nice honeymoon or retirement account. "Honey, forget the ring, here is the paperwork for your new IRA, will you marry me?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Forsaken Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 You might want to do some shopping around. Mine was .79 karats. Maybe you're paying more for the platinum...but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
