So I'm going to propose to my girlfriend !!!

KKbluff · #1 07-30-2005, 04:59 AM

Long story made short:
We have been together for over a year and half.
We both graduate in 1 week from Purdue.
I love this girl with all my heart.

My questions are:
How much should i spend on the ring? ( im thinking $ 1500-2000 which would be about 50% of my poker bankroll, but shes worth it..)

ALSO
For those who are married:
1. how did YOU propose?
2. How did you select the the ring?
3. How can i find her "perfect ring" without giving her too many "tells" that I will propose???

That's not really a lot to spend at all, but if it's 50% of your bankroll then I think it's fine. And if she doesn't think it's fancy enough then she's not the kind of girl that you should be marrying anyway.

I guess i should note that my date money as well as gift money (birthday,xmas etc..) for my gf come from my bankroll as well...

Well under Mississippi Law I will never get married so I will help you out instead.

Plan ahead at a fancy resturant and have 11 Red Roses delivered to the table. Have her count them so she discovers there are only 11. Then say something mushy like "Although roses are beautiful they fade away and are forgotten over time, The love I have for you will never be forgotten, and it will never fade away"

Then give her this... 24K Gold Long Stem Rose

"This rose is for you, it completes the dozen, like you complete me, it will last forever just like my love for you"

Get on one knee, and pull the ring out of your pocket and pop the question.

PS It is 4 in the morning and I am sleepy but I hope that will work, re-word it PLEASE that is just fluff off the top of my head, and only you know how crazy you are about her, so they should be word from your heart not mine, but keep the dozen theme and completing you intact.
