Okay so my finace and I are "engaged" but we never acutally asked each other to marry each other...Our 4 year anniversary is coming up in 2 weeks and I thought, I would acutally ask him to marry me...I already have a ring and all...But I really want to ask him to marry me...Anyone have any clever and cute ideas???

You're female, right? Proposing to a guy?

That's just strange.

Sounds alright though I guess.

awww no i think thats way cute- besides you obviously love him enough to say that you want to spend the rest of your lives together- thast great! im really happy for you- now with that out of the way- did you ever see the friends where phoebe proposes to (i cant think of his name- the paul rudd character) and they get it all wrong?? its a really funny episode- but ayway- i think that you should do it any way you see fit- it depends on your guys' sense of humour- if your asking for funny/cute ideas- it seems like your open to fun ways- like phoebe asking on teh jumbotron during a knicks game- during a sports event- or i LOVEEEE the way that julia roberts gets proposed to in STEPMOM (sooo cute) or you could ask him sincerely during dinner..... or there is always skywriting or fly up in a hot air balloon- or on vacation... hmm many possibilities... but i wish you the best!!!

Ok not to be delberately rude... but asking someone to get engaged to you IS asking them to marry you?

Moving on... sure, press the question since he (I assume from your reticence it was he who proposed originally) is dragging his heels.

As for cute/clever ideas... hmm...
how about "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!! FOUR YEARS DAMNIT!! ARE YOU MENTALLY DEFICIENT!? MY MOTHER WARNED ME ABOUT YOU, MY FRIENDS WARNED ME ABOUT YOU! WHAT THE HELL PART OF ENGAGEMENT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND FORREST-GUMP-BOY! NOW EITHER YOU SET A DATE FAST OR YOUR LIFE SURE WON'T BE LIKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATE AND BOY YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA GET".

Maybe?

Wait...how can you be engaged if neither party has asked the other to marry her/him?

James · #7 04-15-2004, 04:48 PM

I agree with Auchtungbaby80 (please come up with a shorter name, thanx
). If no one asked then you are not technically engaged . . especially to a guy.

The girl had come in and put a nice $900 ring on layaway. She brought the guy in (he lives in Arizona) to show it to him. They said they had a trade-in and were going to go home to get it. They come back all smiling, and he tells me she asked him to marry her when they got home. I thought, okay, a little strange...whatever.

Then they whip out the ring box, containing the trade-in ring, and it's a lady's bridal set. WTH!?!?! So they're trading in a lady's engagement ring for HIS ring...and she doesn't have one. Okay, THAT's just odd. Not to mention they're both so young.

That was a cute idea of doing it...though a little strange..hmm let me think some more..ill get back to you soon.

Well, we never said "would you marry me..." we just sort of told everyone we were engaged...like it was no big deal...but to me (and call me old fashion) but I like the whole idea of getting down on one knee and saying would you spend the rest of your life with me scenario...Though your idea is def...a great idea...though i still like the idea of Julia Roberts....Thanks

Like I already said..we sort of just told everyone...but we never did it in a formal way...which is sort of what I am wanting to do. Thanks for the question though

mshoole · #13 04-15-2004, 05:48 PM

Okay..Now that I have pretty much answered all questions and have been talking to all my already engaged/married friends...I think I have come up with the idea......

Because tommorrow my parents and his are taking us out for dinner, I am going to do it on the way to the restaurant after I get out of work (subing near the house..yeah)...I know the radio disc jockey who can do it over the air tommorrow when we are in the car...Since we both know this guy, I know he will help....Ill let you all know on Tuesday since thats the next time I will have access to the web...wish me luck...

sairose · #14 04-16-2004, 04:36 PM

Good luck!

IheartMATT806 · #15 04-19-2004, 04:58 PM

Wait and good things will happen!!
