QuoteI told her that if she couldn't handle the heat, she should get back in the kitchen.

Thanks guys ^_^

Unfortunately, I only have about 12 days before I'm out of the country so there's no time to organise a romantic holiday. I've been trying to do this for months but I've been stressing about how so much it's never happened. I keep thinking, "Wait for the right time, wait for the right time" but I don't know when that is. My parents are arriving tonight and there'll be NO time to do it when they arrive. He's just told me he's coming back from work to do some banking at home for a bit... I planned on having a ring by now but you've convinced me it's not so important.

Maybe I should just do it now before I put it off again and again and it never gets done. (It's not like I don't know what the answer will be, and yet it's still scary!)

When you guys get married send me an invite, I want to come.

I'll cry like little baby.

GO FOR IT!!!

Let us know what happens[ed]!!

Go for it, Kinoko. Just the fact that you asked him should knock him dead. It'll be a big ego boost. Men will like the idea of being proposed to for the same reason women get all googly over it! I hope it turns out great.

Kinoko · Tue 19/07/2005 07:22:37

*ahem*

I did the deed and I'm now engaged

Huge congratulations to Kinoko!!!

So what's the plan re: Japan? Is he going with you? He should. There are a lot of JETs 'round here with spouses or significant others.

Good luck!

"Doing the deed" is a intriquing way to propose, and lends itself to many double entendres about rings.

congrats kinoko. and on the 'ring' subject, Darth's first post made perfect sense. If proving love is going to cost three grand, buy something the partner can use, like a TV or a computer or a gun... on second thought, scratch that last oneÃ,Â

Congratulations Kinoko! On reading that last post of yours my respect for you went up tenfold. And believe me, that was pretty hard to do already.

Kinoko · Tue 19/07/2005 13:07:08

Aww, thanks guys ^_^

I'm pretty darn happy about it, and he just keeps remarking about how unexpected it was, which makes me feel all cool because I'm one of the minority now.

Plus, this is VERY convenient because noone has to buy rings guessing what the other would like.

Darth Mandarb · Tue 19/07/2005 14:39:13

CONGRATULATIONS!!

How cool is that!?!

CoffeeBob · Tue 19/07/2005 15:40:28

A bucket-load o' congratulations to you, Kinoko.

Helm · Tue 19/07/2005 16:05:16

Enjoy life in captivity.

Hakujin · Tue 19/07/2005 18:07:30

Awesome, Kinoko. I'm happy for you.

That's great that he didn't see it coming. In a lot of ways, I think that's the ONLY requirement for a good proposal - that it be an awesome surprise.
