Popping the question
What is the generally accepted modern practise for asking a girl to marry you? From TV, I had always assumed that the guy went out and bought a ring, then proposed to the girl who would be utterly astounded, and stammer out a yes(or no). Reading the thread earlier, many people were talking about how they discussed with their fiance which ring they would be buying. There doesn't seem to be any element of surprise, and it is all planned out before hand.
For everyone who is married now or plans to get married soon, how did you or are you going to go about it? I suppose it would help if you included the year in which this happened, as traditions may be changing. Also, include any other details such as did you discuss with her father first, etc. I'm only 19, so I don't plan on having to do this anytime in the near future, but I feel it's an area where I should be knowledgeable.

I'm pretty sure you get a ring to give her when you pop the question, then an engagement ring which is discussed mutually? I have no clue yet. [/ QUOTE ] So the engagement ring is not the one you give to her when you propose?? Now I am even more confused. I thought you give her a really fancy engagement ring when you propose, then at the wedding ceremony, wedding bands are exchanged. Is there a 3rd ring I'm not aware of?

Re: Popping the question
AFAIK, there are only two rings, the engagement ring (which is the fancy one with the big diamond) and the wedding band which is the simple gold ring. I think that some people do some kind of promise ring thing, where they get engaged to be engaged, but I think that's kind of silly.

all i know is, if i ever ask this question, it's going to be more of a "yo, you wanna do this thing?" kind of scenario. [/ QUOTE ] It's amazing how much truth is in this statement. I'd be interested to see how many people got married before they were 100% ready/never wanted to but did anyway. A poll on the subject seems kinda lame nonetheless. PG
