I am looking for Christmas marriage proposal ideas. Any ideas?
Do you have a tree at your place? Get an engagement ornament (with date) and hang it on the tree... And direct her to it... When she is caught up reading it, get down on one knee... Another way, you can tie the ring on ribbon and hang it on the tree.... Or... Bake some Christmas cookies and spell "will you marry me" with icing and set it out for "Santa" with milk, but call her over to look at your "cute little idea"... Or, wrap the box and put it under the tree on Christmas eve... Have it be the only gift, and put a big tag on it that says "open me"... Have it be her first gift.... Good luck and congrats!! EDIT: A cute little speech you can say (along these lines) you can say "I asked Santa for only one thing this Christmas... And he sent it..." and then ask "_____________, Will you marry me?" Corny, but sweet!!
What does my proposal dream mean?
I've been going out with my girlfriend for just two months now. Last night, I had a dream that she proposed to me. For some reason that made sense in the context of the dream (but which I now can't remember), she proposed to me in a toy aisle, using a plastic ring that had a picture of a diamond on it instead of an actual stone. There was an real ring she had to give me, but apparently (because we had some sort of inside joke about it) wanted to use this fake ring for the actual proposal. The rest of the dream I can remember is me saying yes, because I really did want to marry her, but panicking in the back of my mind as we are both so young (20 and 21) and I didn't want to get married for several more years. I recall worrying that we would break up or get divorced, and that we hadn't known each other long enough, and planning to ask for a long (two year) engagement, but overall being really really happy that this had happened (she seemed to be too). For some background knowledge on what real life is like, our relationship has been rocky so far: for the first month both of us were quite insecure about it, as she was still hung up on her ex and I was too aware of that fact to really let go and enjoy the relationship, and in the past month two of her close relatives have died and she's was really sick for a while. However, when these things aren't going on (and I'm happy to be there for her, I just hate seeing her sad), she makes me really happy, I've wanted to date her for a while, and this is the most I've liked someone in my entire life. What on earth could this dream mean?
Proposing to your significant other?
I think a ring is a sentiment and a thought. My fiancee proposed with a ring made out of twisty ties i thought it was cute. How did your husband propose or how did you propose to your wife? Would they get mad at an idea like my fiancee used or would you ever do something like that to propose or would you get mad if your fiancee proposed like that?
Is it normal to propose with a cheaper ring until you can afford a "real one"?
Normal? Who cares? Do what you want. Hell, you might get no for an answer. Better have a cheap piece of plastic ready in case you’re rejected. And who needs to have a ring ready anyway? Perhaps once you have made the decision together, go and choose two, one for each other. Then it is a more mutual arrangement. But why stop there? Just use the same rings to get married. Better still, give up on the idea of rings altogether and just get married if marriage is that important to you.
Where can I find a plastic ring setting to put a diamond in?
Hmm I get your idea, and I do think it is a cute one...the beautiful diamond is set in a "for show only" (I think others are thinking you want to actually set the stone in plastic, but that is not what you are doing, it is just to "hold" the diamond in during the proposal and will not be actually worn) clear plastic ring, so you can still slip it on her finger and then have the setting made at a later date. Right? I looked and googled away and I didn't find anything except many different single stone displays, which range from boxes to a sort of rod display with the stone at the end. No "pop the stone in" plastic rings :-( You could go with one of those (simply look up "single diamond display" and a bunch of options will come up. Or you could purchase a little box with a hinged lid. You could cut out a pic of the two of you together to the size of the inner lid (kind of like a locket concept) and then have the stone secured in black velvet in the bottom of the box. I found a lot of "placeholder rings" which I believe is what your pic is of, but none that you could pop a diamond in and out of. Your idea is a good one - do you know anyone with a 3D printer? Or that works with plastics and moldmaking? (think businesses that make custom action figures and costuming items) You might look up businesses in your area that do "mold/model making" they might be able to custom make you a plastic placeholder pop the diamond in ring, but I would imagine the cost would be high. I know I didn't give you the link you were looking for, but I hope I at least gave you some ideas that might help! Happy wishes! :-) And PS I also think it is very wise and sweet of you to want to design the setting together :-)
My husband didn’t have a ring when he proposed. If the moment is perfect, would that matter to you?
My husband didn’t have a ring when he proposed. If the moment is perfect, would that matter to you?I didn’t have a ring when I proposed to my wife.My then-girlfriend never wore rings, so she had nothing I could secretly measure, and I didn’t have the slightest idea what size would fit her. Plus, she’s an occupational therapist who works with children, and she’s constantly using her hands to do activities with them, so traditional wedding ring with a diamond set in uplifted prongs would never work for her. Perhaps most important, I have almost no sense of style or design, so I was in no position to choose something for her.Here’s what I did. I had seen previously at a local florist these huge plastic engagement rings that were largest enough to slip over the stems of a dozen flowers. So, I bought a dozen roses and one of those rings, slipped the ring around the base of the flowers, and brought them with me when I met her. I also got tips about good jewelers from friends and co-workers, including a local independent jeweler who was an expert and very personable, and had great prices. I visited his store, discussed my predicament with him, and he showed me a bunch of rings he had that would fit her needs.On the day I decided to propose to her, we were living separately at the time, and I asked her to meet me at 6:00 pm in the chapel of Our Lady of New York in the back of St. Patrick’s Cathedral. I know she wasn’t completely surprised when I proposed — the place I invited her to meet here was a big giveaway — and after proposing I gave her the ring-encircled roses and the business card of the jeweler. Based on her reaction, I’m pretty sure she felt that the moment was perfect.
I proposed my gf with a very clean diamond ring but she found it too small.?
I gave her a 0.82 carat, princess cut,VS1 clarity, color H and ideal cut diamond ring. My friends loved the ring they said the diamond is very clean and beautiful but when I porposed my gf cried and said 'you have should have gotten me a bigger ring it is too small'. I'm shell shocked. Does she love me or not? Is 0.82 ct too small?
When a guy proposes to a girl in public, can she say yes and later quietly say no to spare him of the embarassment?
Sure.As a prank, I proposed to a friend (not my girlfriend) at Disneyland with a plastic ring. When people saw what was happening, they anxiously looked and wished us good vibes. My friend felt tremendous pressure, blushed like crazy and said yes to spare an embarrassment. There was really no other way around it. Everyone clapped and cheered like only disneyland-goers could. We hugged. She said in my ear something like "I hate you" and "don't count on it".We remained good friends after that.But seriously, if someone proposes to you in a public place and you don't want to, say no. There many ways to do this. You can bluntly say no and leave. You can gently take his hands, make him rise, and say no, you're sorry. You may hug him too if you are close. You can say no, you're not ready for it. It won't be comfortable for him but he put himself in this position.
