Sgt Wilson Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Now that is sad! Not only should you have got the ring back but you should have sued the Thames Water Authority for dry cleaning on whatever sorry tat/tasteful gear you were wearing at the time Quote
steve_b Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Cannot say the best way as I only waited 5 years and she finally asked me, but one piece of advice that may still work. When I got married I told BA it was honeymoon flight and they bumped me to business class. told them about a 5 year wedding anniversary and they bumped me up again. Try calling them and explain you are looking to get engaged on the trip, do not ask for upgrade just ask for extra leg room etc. That way you get a great start for the hols and its sets everything up for the rest of the trip. Good luck with it all. Quote
captint Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Yeah, ask here in a casual manner on the plane on the way home, element of suprise, especially as she will be expecting it whilst on Hol's trust me you'd get more brownie points that a girl guide playing darts Quote

nixy Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 From a female perspective it sounds amazing already, I don't think you need any tips! Have you got something nice and sparkley to give her? Traditionally it's supposed to cost a months wages! (gulp.....) Quote

Traditionally it's supposed to cost a months wages! (gulp.....)Mine cost 2 months wages and i didnt get it back!!!!!! Oh well, it was for her so why do i need it back anyway, am i going to wear it, no, am i going to take it back, no as it was custom made, am i bothered, no as i had the best time with her and i dont regret anything. BTW - i do not advise falling into the Thames, my bum got wet and i ruined my trousers Quote
Sgt Wilson Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 what is this the Jeremy Kyle show? ......Maybe if he was marrying his brother. Quote
M13KYF Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 just do it when they least expect it but try and throw some romance in to. Quote
nixy Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 [Mine cost 2 months wages : No wonder she kept it! Unless of course you've got a paper round for a job! Quote
Stew Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 just do it when they least expect it but try and throw some romance in to. Like just after you've pushed her in the sea? Quote
sinbad Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Have you seen the new film "Blood Diamond"? haha only kidding. Good luck, let us know how u get on, sounds like your sorted. Quote
captint Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 I was pi55ed in a pub in Henley when I asked my Mrs, partied all night with friends afterwards and then forgot the next day that I had asked her, school boy error Quote

nixy Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 When my husband came round for our first date he bought me a bunch of flowers - but more importantly he had done his research and also bought me a pair of Golf GTI mud flaps for my car which was far more acceptable! Our first xmas he got me a rear wiper motor for my GTI and some car mats - it was exactly what I wanted! Give me that over jewellery any day! Am I mad? Anyway, I get bugger all nowadays! Quote

You sound like my Missus Nixy. I bought her a day's rally driving experience for Christmas and some jewellery, she was thrilled with the rallying! Nick Quote
rmmackfc Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Is this still the 350z forum?!? ...Mills n Boon? Here's ma 10p worth... Personally speaking I'd do it before the holiday... not likely that this will happen but what if she says no? ....always have an exit plan. If your stuck on an island, an exit may be hard to find. Then there is the nerves, do you want to be thinking of asking her etc whilst on holiday, it could ruin it for you if you are gettin stressed out over it. At the end of the day, only you have the answer Ross Quote
