Popping the Question Today

[peteswell4]

I'm popping the big question to my girlfriend (high school sweetheart) tonight. Wish me luck!!

 

[CrimsonProf]

Many, many congratulations!

 

[Bama Reb]

Good luck to you, Pete. Knock her off her feet!

You've put it out there....now you have to come back and tell us what she says! Congrats, and best of luck.

2 bits of advice-

1. this shouldnt be on the football forum
2. put the ring in your right pocket. that way when you take it out, it will be in front of her left hand. trust me, it gets confusing in the heat of the moment.

Congratulations on asking her after talking about the 2011 football season (now it belongs here). Why don't you just make a video so we can all see you stumble and fumble. :biggrin2:

 

[DiamondDust]

Best of luck!

And if you need a photographer, let me know.

We really should trash my tab and talk about this a while.

1. How are you doing it? At Dinner? With her Family?
2. Make sure you make the date for AFTER or BEFORE the football season. Thats the most common mistake. Way after/before too cuz there will be all sorts of stuff that goes on that may take up some of your football watching time if you dont plan correctly.
3.Also as a honeymoon suggestion there is nothing she'll enjoy more than going to see Bryants Museum and walking around the University campus seeing the sights lol.

the absolute most important thing is to schedule the engagement/wedding/honeymoon for the offseason. you will be much happier for the rest of your life and your friends will thank you as well.

If you plan the wedding on a Saturday in the fall, I'm not coming. Just giving notice.

Good luck, we're all counting on you.

Good luck! After having experienced a happy marriage, I can highly recommend it. :smile:

Most of us women still consider it very romantic for the gentleman to take a knee.....good luck, and Congrats!

Whatever you do, don't screw it up. A woman always remembers two things: How her husband proposed and how he responded when she told him she was pregnant with their first child. Screw up either of those two and you'll never live it down. :biggrin2:

 

[Zorak]

And FOR THE LOVE OF GOD...don't slap her hand away when she puts her hand too close to the ring in your pocket when you're acting awkward and she's trying to loosen you up. Not that happened to me or anything...you see, I know this guy...

oh....that explains a lot

 

[peteswell4]

She said yes!!! I am pretty sure I sounded like a bumbling idiot, but luckily she doesn't remember what I said. I thought I would be all smooth, but I got nervous at the last minute. Give me a little credit, by proposing in the summer, I ensured that the wedding will be in the off season. :wink: Thanks for all the support.

Congratulations to you and your young lady.

My two cents: separate checking accounts. Money is a big sticking points for a lot of young couples. Pool your resources to pay the bills, of course, but otherwise keep your disposable income separate. You need to have a little independence/freedom, as does she.
