down on one knee in the bar, overlooking the Empire State building and Manhattan, with the sun setting over New York and everything lit up across the sky.

Her first words were "you're kidding me", but thankfully it was soon followed by lots of nodding, and eventually I got a yes out of her.

Just googled the Rainbow Room. Looks like an ideal place to pop the question. You obviously have excellent taste! Congrats again dude

dunno, fancy diving with sharks or something, getting too many "let's get off our faces abroad" stag do's recently, fancy a change, any suggestions (realistic ones) are welcome.

Looking for wedding venues now, after something a bit different, i.e. ruins or something, if anyone knows somewhere down south please let me know, it's a 'mare trying to find something that isn't a manor house...

was a bit of a hassle though, didn't realise a lot of top places in the Big Apple require jackets to get in. Couldn't get in Friday and she was well dissapointed, went back saturday, first in queue, was told he could lend me a jacket, and then half an hour later said I couldn't as they would go to all those with reservations for dinner. She walked off upset and angry that we couldn't go up there (it was the one place she wanted to go), so had a quiet word in his ear (and $20 in the hand!) and voila, up we went.

Got the jacket, only problem was it was obviously for an average american, size 48 long - I'm a 38 Regular. Comedy moment, especially when I forgot to take the bloody thing off before getting on one knee....

:) Well done, and very romantic.
Beats my proposal whilst playing pool in the Skirrid Inn near Abergavenny. She said no to begin with, but after another half bottle of Merlyn she gave me a resounding 'whatever'.

Diving with sharks sounds awesome. One of those things I'd like to do but will probably never pluck up the necessary courage! If you do do something along those lines, don't forget to take excessive quantities of pics!

Classy mate, classy :cool:



Random question....did you ask her dad first?

One of my ex's once asked me if I would ask the lucky ladies father first before proposing. It got me thinking....with that particular ex, I would have because I got on with her dad so well, but an ex from sixth form had a scary-as dad who I wouldn't have dared ask!

yeah, I'm a bit of a traditionalist, so had to, my old man wouldn't have been happy otherwise. Anyway it's the right way to start things, plus you need them on side to help pay for it ;)

needless to say I was crapping myself when stuck in the pub for 30mins before he turned up...

Congrats!! I now realise where I went wrong. I basically "told" my father in law to be that i was going to marry Vicki.

He subsequently contributed fook all towards the wedding!!:D

Good lad!!

Well done! Sounds lovely. Shame about needing a jacket thats a bit poncy but it sounds like a lovely setting.

Congratulations matey, sounds an awesome place to propose. When I do propose that sounds just like the place.

I've only ever proposed once. The day after my Nan's funeral I woke up (still pissed) and asked my girlfriend whilst in bed if she fancied going to the Jewellery Qtr to get an engagement ring. She was easily pleased and we got engaged that very morning! :)

Needless to say she realised I was a muppet after a while and we broke up. I wont make the same mistake twice! Part of growing up I guess ;) :D

My mates got married at a Herstmonceux castle, that was lovely. Might be a bit too south?

Thanks Gamer, she also got told about it from work colleagues, so I was hoping for a lot...and it certainly delivered!!!


She's also got to know that it's downhill after getting married, I'll become fat and bald, ok just fat as pretty much bald already..

I guess it's kind of a manor house - but I believe Amberley Castle (just up from Arundel) do weddings (at least they used to). Is a pretty cool place.

South....south... south... Africa? Thats where i'm getting married in Feb next year... At a vineyard surrounded by mountains and loads of wine :) Might be a bit further south than you'd planned but very cheap.
