Proposing over a cheese and marmite sandwich! :p

[Fatboy]

Yup, finally got round to popping the big question! Yesp Feb 12th is the date - none of this 3 year engagement lark!

Kind of a crazy romance, so in typical fashion, I surprised her in her kitchen (really it was a ploy to stop her eating a cheese and marmite sandwich - cunning - although I think it is going a bit far to wean her off the vile stuff that is marmite!). She was a bit surprised, as I said it'd be in a restaurant or something.

Anyway, she said yes.

So .... finally getting round to the question I was going to post, how many of you are in getting ready for the big day, and did anyone else have a particularly amusing/bizarre proposal.

[Zedmeister]

Aye, congratulations and good luck with the future

[daniel_owen_uk]

You crazy fool!!!

[Spunkey]

Congratulations.

Banbury?

I'm not far from there.

sounds like you wanna go to the reception lol

congrats matey!!

[Fatboy]

Cheers all, it's been a bit mental!

Still, I'm looking forward to married life, tartan slippers, smoking a pipe, 2.4 kids, a golden retriever and a volvo.

...On second thoughts .....

[Fatboy]

sounds like you wanna go to the reception lol

congrats matey!!

Don't get me started on the reception!! There's probably gonna be silly amounts of people at the ceremony as my better half is a teacher, so lots of her students have promised to gatecrash it ... yes it could well be a day to remember.

[Fatboy]

Congratulations.

Banbury?

I'm not far from there.

Wherabouts would that be? I know there was a post ages ago about where the various Hexusites were situated, but I can't remember there being a "Near the thriving metropolis that is Banbury" option!

[Cheryl]

Congratulations

[Howard]

After going out with my other half for about three months, we got lashed one night and I proposed to her outside a restaurant, by taking a ring off one of her other fingers and putting it on her ring finger. I'm pretty sure I only did it for a laugh, I didn't think she'd take it seriously. Anyway we've been married for 14 months now and we're very happy.

Good luck with your wedding mate, short notice is definately the way to go, I had to put up with months and months of planning, hassle, moaning etc.

Well Northamptonshire, near Daventry at moment, but I have family in Woodford Halse and we always used to be about in Banbury, and some wierd little village called Bloxham i think.

Yup, Bloxham is where my "to be" works! (That's probably the root cause of the wierdness!)

LOL.

It's a bit like that for me at the moment. I took a ring off her right hand and put it on her left, as at the time of proposal I hadn't ordered the ring ... but hopefully that will be here in the not too distant future.

She was a bit surprised as we had talked about getting married for ages, and I taunted her with "threats" of proposals and the like, and I had had this image of what I would do and where it would be etc, but in the end it was in her kitchen, over the aforementioned sandwich...which she had for breakfast the next day in the end Darn it, I will teach her that marmite is the food of the devil!

I eventually got her a ring for her birthday a few months later. She doesn't even wear it now, havng insisted I get her a white gold ring, she now wears a gold one her mum gave her

over the aforementioned sandwich...which she had for breakfast the next day in the end Darn it, I will teach her that marmite is the food of the devil!

Coincidentally, my wife is a marmite eater too. I don't mind the marmite so much, but I definately mind her leaving the knife covered in it stuck to the kitchen worktop!

[Bunjiweb]

Well Northamptonshire, near Daventry at moment

Daventry? Dont you mean Conventry?....Guys you cant bring this posh food in here, this is Macdonalds, scumhole of the earth, they only sell fried dog fat in here..

Anyone else seen that advert?


Anway, congratulations, its always nice to do it in an unusual fashion so you can laugh about it in years to come Just remember, dont abandon all normal life just because you are getting married!
