razza Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 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. [GRIN][/GRIN]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.

juanchan Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Just googled the Rainbow Room. Looks like an ideal place to pop the question. You obviously have excellent taste! Congrats again dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 Congratulations mate. When's the stag do, and are we all invited? 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...

razza Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 Just googled the Rainbow Room. Looks like an ideal place to pop the question. You obviously have excellent taste! Congrats again dude 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....[OOPS][/OOPS] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 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'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

razza Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 Random question....did you ask her dad first? 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...

Havard Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 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!! Good lad!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
