Got the Blessing

[Setsukosan]

My girlfriend (Katie) and I have been dating for two and a half years now. I recently asked her father for his blessing and he approved! woohoo. I am still waiting to pop the question and am debating how to do it. ^_^"

I was thinking about taking her for a hike in the nature, (she's a nature freak) and recite a poem that I have written with the big question within the poem. It's the perfect weather around here now. Cool enough not to be sweating like mad and not cold enough to need winter clothing.

Any suggestions, comments?

Awwww, that's so sweet!

[Monsterlover]

Go for it

I'm assuming she doesn't read the DMF.   


do it however you want that is personal to the two of you...our collective suggestions don't mean squat.

and congratulations (we're all assuming she'll say yes).

[Pedro-bot]

Congratulations.   

Good luck to you. Hopefully you've enjoyed your youth long enough to appreciate the HUGE decision you're making. Here's to you my friend.

Congrats.
I proposed at the top of Yosemite Falls in waterfall season (it was late April). Course, I didn't go through with the wedding, so you might wanna go another direction

Yeah, 'cause that wouldn't end badly at all.

Screw all this zappy stuff. Do it ala caveman. Beat her upside the head and drag her to your cave. Worked for me.

[TiNi]

like statler said... you know her better than we do

good luck, and don't forget to update this thread

the key is to not hit her so hard that she doesnt recognize you afterwords.

otherwise congrats!

It probably doesn't matter much what you do as long as you are sincere.

CONGRATS!!

I coworker asked the same question the other day - but predictably we offered the worst ways to do it. Mine was to wait until she was in the toilet then ask, then say "One flush for yes, two for no"...

[KnightofNi]

well, if you're in the middle of nowhere and she says no, you 2 could presumably "get attacked by a bear" and they wouldn't find the body...





on another note, and this is a general question for those that have, or feel they should ask...what if you ask her parents for permission or their blessing and they say no? do you go through with it anyways? do you walk away from it all? do you just start crying and tellign them how they screwed up their daughter's life enough already and ask why they can't just let her be happy?

wow I'm not familiar with that flavor of crazy
