I am getting engaged this weekend

[Holes]

I am pretty sure of how it is going to happen.

Any other suggestions? What to say? Box or no box? etc...

[jonyrotn]

Box or no box? etc...If your gonna marry this woman she better give you some box..

[King Hippos Bandaid]

insure the ring, first is first


time square is hack


I had 2 ways of proposing that were kinda cool


Plan A is involving having a friend at Fed Ex DHL (Amy) or UPS

Hangout with your gf during the day, then the door rings with a Fed Ex Package for your Girl, (all legit , so you have to know the person sending it to you) She opens it, and the ring is there waiting for her




Plan B: Come home from work to hangout with her, with a takeout Pizza Box, tell her to go heat up the Pizza for you while you wash up, She opens the box, and sees the ring

i would never say yes with that scenario.

[Holes]

I am not into the gimmick thing. I guess I would be more old-fashioned.


We are going to be away together for the weekend. Does anyone know if I can get through airport security with it in my pocket?

[TheGameHHH]

ive never done it but if/when i do it'll be by two rules. 1) it'll be romantic and 2) im gonna be myself, no phony shows or spectacles.

You will have to take it out of your pocket, unless it is made of plastic, ceramic, or some other non-metallic material.

Unless you can separate yourself from your GF while going through security or have some type of "disguise" for the ring (stashed in a coin purse, taped inside folded money, etc.) she will likely see the box.

Not trying to be a buzzkill - just giving you the info. :bye:

[Badinia]

I think the Fed-Ex delivery is kinda cute.

I wouldn't like my ring to be in, near, or on food.

Be yourself, be sincere, I agree that trying to get on the fricking Jumbotron or whatever is hacky, just take her to a special place for the both of you- maybe the bar or restaurant where you had your first date, or another spot that has significance.

You should pack a bag and stow it in there. The odds that they'll want to know what the lump in your pocket is are too great.

Although that would be hilarious if you had to pop the question shoeless on a rubber mat. Frickin' memorable.

Congratulations on finding your first wife!

Thanks for the info, Matt. I wasn't going to go with the box at all. Can I just put it in my carry-on for the screening and take it back out after I get through?


We are going to be in Charleston, SC (a place I have never been) and I am going to do it there. Nothing hacky.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Look, do what feels right.

You don't need a gimmick to pop the question. When I did it, I recreated our first date. I found the place we had our first kiss. I told her to close her eyes, and there you go.

Have her paged to the white courtesy phone at the airport..When she picks it up,have the airline rep. pop the question for you...If she turns to you, screams and says "yes", you're golden.. If she slams the phone, turns to you and says,"not a chance"..You can say you had know idea it was gonna happen and you're gonna make a complaint to the airline.. Then leave her at ass at the Grand Canyon..

That's sweet. This gal's wellin' up.

[silera]

Knock her up.

Wait a month and offer to buy the pregnancy test, then put the ring on the test!

Oh, see? Romance *and* practicality!

[SyndicateParish]

Do yourself a favor and secretly ask her pop's first. I brought some 18 year old scotch and poured a glass and asked if I could become a member of the family. Two things will happen, you will get good father-in-law karma, and she will figure out something is up. It will be a week or so of glowing while you play coy and she waits to see if she is gonna get engaged.

I planned a whole day, rented a decent car, packed a picnic. We went wine and cheese tasting, then I took her to one of our memorable date spots to ask her on bended knee. After the yes and a bit of champagne, I produced a tree to plant on the very spot where we got engaged.


Now its fun to go back every couple of years to look at the spot where we got engaged and the now dead tree we planted..

FedEx the ring to yourself at the hotel, and call the hotel management to arrange to pick it up from them. Then all you have to do is insure the package. A hundred years of mazel!

[Chigworthy]

Congrats, and don't let anyone give you the anti-marriage shit. You are doing the right thing.

For the ring, maybe you can just put it in your carry-on, wallet or your sunglasses case and put it on the conveyor at the metal detector. I don't think my ring has ever set off the detector, but you probably don't want to risk just having it in your pocket.

Also, as far as popping the question, just be sincere. I doubt it has to be a super big production to make her happy.

[Tenbatsuzen]

You are... NOT the father!

Yeah. I heard Sheepy's screams throughout the state.

Am I the only one who saw this?! LMAO! Your so bad Badinia! lol

Shhh! Don't get me in trouble!

Me either and honestly, i'd be kinda sad that there were no pizza.

I have already asked her father and he gave me his (and her mother's) blessing.

What you did sounds really nice. Quite impressive!

[FUNKMAN]

i purposely didn't give my now ex-wife a birthday present, i knew she'd be upset. she held it in pretty good but i knew it was buggin her. a week later I had two wrapped boxes, one little jewelery box and a very big box. I placed the ring in the bottom of the very big box under alot of tissue paper.

i gave her the small jewelery box first thinking she would be thinking it was an engagement ring BUT it was a pair of earrings my Mom bought for her. Then as she opened the big box and kept taking out tissue paper after tissue paper she started to get upset thinking it was just an empty box and I was playing a dumb joke. I told her to keep going and then she found the engagement ring box at the bottom

[keithy_19]

I say you make sure the ring will go off while going through the emtal detector. Make sure she's behind you. Then when you go through and it beeps take off your belt. Go through again. When it beeps take something else and put it there. And the third time you go through and it beeps when you go back kneel down and pop the question. She'll have to say yes or else be a party pooper.

Though I'm positive she'll say yes no matter how you do it. :smile:

And he wonders why he can't find chicks. The ol' Airport Security bit. It just melts your heart.

word....


better yet, take the ring and put it on your own finger.....its more fun that way.

[Justice4all]

Not surprising you found a way to work food into the deal.
She gets a ring, you get a slice.

ive never done it but if/when i do it'll be by two rules. 1) it'll be romantic and 2) im gonna be myself, no phony shows or spectacles.

Best advice. Run with that one.

Congratulations on finding your first wife!

As opposed to wife #3???:blink:

That part made me chuckle. A younger Funk making his wife work for her ring. And still being a smarty pants. Thank god you never changed. :clap:


All jokes aside, HHH put it best. Just be yourself. Make sure she is smiling before you pop the question. Don't act out-of-the-ordinary. Just be the guy she fell in love with.
You will know when the moment will be. It will come to you . I hope everything turns out exactly how you wanted it to be.

Good luck buddy!

Wow, that guy at the Rockets' game looked like Turtle from Entourage. And it looked a little set-up. But at least Tracy McGrady got a good laugh.
