marzman Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 ... This evening i... officially got engaged to my girlfriend! There was none of that romantic proposal rubbish though... i kind of half heartedly asked her at the weekend and she said yes, and then we went out and picked a ring earlier in the week, and it was resized for collection today. It wasnt a big expensive one - just a few hundred, but with the promise that i'll get her a propper one when she goes back to work. She likes this one though and says its fine. We've been together 6.5 years, since we were 19, but im still embarrassed to tell my family. I haven't told any of my friends yet, and probably wont. ...So its now official *Gulp* Quote
narcotix Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Congratulations mate ... Why are you embarrassed about telling your family? I'm sure they'll all be estatic! Quote
SunGodRA Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Dont do it!!!!! Seriously congratulations matey Quote
Cragus Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Arrrghhh....commitment lol Congratulations matey! Quote
UNABASHED Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 none of that romantic proposal rubbish ? half heartedly? Your not exactly the most romantic person in the world then? Congrats mate! Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Many congratulations, Chris, that’s great news, go tell the family, share the good news… Quote
marzman Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 Thanks all. Joelle's just group-txt everyone in her phone book so we're working our way through the messages. I dont feel like a grown up yet - that's why i think im embarrassed. I've told most of my family now and they're all very happy. Apparently they've all been talking for the last 3 years about why we're not engaged yet, so this will shut them up And Unbashed - i am a romantic person, but i think a proposal on a large scale is difficult to do when you've been together a while? Maybe im just a wimp Quote
HEADPHONES Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Well done. Was the same when I proposed back when I was 22. Didn't even occur to me to tell friends and family beforehand I was the first of my friends to get engaged and they were all gobsmacked at first We met at 19 too. 20yrs later and no regrets. Quote
jerry3167 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Great news!! Best wishes for whatever comes next Quote
Maccaman Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 6.5 years, about bloody time. Congratulations to you both, now don't take another 6 years to actually get married Quote
nixy Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 congratulations you bloody big wimp! Very pretty ring. Not sure why she's getting another when SHE goes back to work though....... You could have done what my ex did, took me to a jewellers to choose, then asked if we could use MY credit card! Needless to say, we never got engaged for about another 5 years after that............ I could have let you have a nice one carat solitaire cheap! Quote
Husky Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 good job bud im sure you'll spoil her for years to come so she wont mind you being a big wimp Quote

bronzee Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Is there something in the water over there at the moment? Quite a few proposals lately. Very exciting, after 6.5 years. I bet she was over the moon. Congratulations to you both. :kicking Quote
tmJak Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 My Mum's husband proposed like you did, and my Mum said no until he did it properly on one knee. So when she went to the toilet one day, he went in the bathroom and proposed on one knee in front of her And yes they did get married. I'm sure your missus prefers your proposal Anyways, congrats Quote
Stew Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Congratulations Chris, the ring looks lovely! Quote
JT1703 Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 You should change your forum name to Madman ! Congratulations to the both of you Quote
