kinda OT - proposal on our disney trip

[BigDisneyOE]

I've got an idea, but I'll share it with your intended - otherwise, if you are like me, you are too tempted to cheat. And to stop you cheating I'd suggest he starts a thread and then asks everyone to PM him ideas. If you really want to be suprised, then you have to roll with it. Believe me - this is the one bit of your life that it's okay to shut your eyes wait.

I knew the day my DH would propose, I woke up knowing it would be the day. We were up on the Sky Rail in Cairns over the top of the rain forrest all alone and he came over all sweaty and pale and turned to me and said 'do you want to get married then?'. I looked at him and said 'is that it?'. Turned out he'd had a whole speech planned but got so nervous and sickly he just got out the first thing in his head. We got off the first stop and got him some air so he didn't throw up. Honeslty what a fuss, I had told him I'd say yes beforehand anyway.

The best bit of my proposal was when I made him ask my Dad. My Mum knew what was going to happen and was filling eclairs to keep herself busy. My DH cottoned on to the fact that she was eating them as she made them as she was so excited. He let her eat about six before he and Dad got round to talking about marriage. My mother was nearly sick that time but more due to pigging than nerves! She did have time to say 'sale goods, no returns' before feeling like she needed to lay down on her bed as the sugar was kicking in. Dad couldn't stop beaming.

Oh and I can tell you - my second marriage after a nightmare first one is just fabulous.

lmao. carlo asked my dad like... 8 months ago. and he did it all hush hush like and got dad alone out in the garden shed. my dad was kinda pleased, kinda embarassed (he's shy too) and i swear i don't know was most uncomfortable.. but they both hid that from me... then like a month later, my mum spilled the beans to me as they'd been expecting him to follow up & ask me. lol. they were dying of anticipation. i had to let them down gently and tell them we were waiting for our own special moment.

carlo hasn't been married before, but had a dodgy long term relationship. i had a dodgy first marriage. the best part about it.. the learning experience and the 'what not to do' lessons. we're good communicators and i love him to bits...

i sent him a link to the disboards this morning and said 'hurry up and register, they're dying to share stories etc'. so now i just have to wait til he gets home and help him register.

the idea of pm'ing him rather than posting in an open forum is also a good one

Don't forget to send him to the wedding board, lots of blokes post on there for ideas on proposals. Even if he just asks for links to previous threads there are heaps of ideas

omg. disney thinks of everything.

[BecBennett]

awesome ... i will check it out

 

[alicia1506]

he has his post up... and he's asking for PMs to communicate any ideas, suggestions, thoughts etc.

any replies to the post i can read, so he wants those to be pretty general etc. that way, he can keep all the good stuff hidden from me.

his post link is:http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2908419
