So it's the ball and chain for you, huh, man? Anyway, congrats, man. May you both live long and prosper, and may the fights be few.

Moonbat!! Way to go man! Congratulations on taking the big step. (I know a good Parson. )

Oh what exciting news!!! Congratulations!! Won't expect to see much of you while things get settled. Lol or we'll see more of you depending on how and where you like to relax.

I like long engagements for planing, and short for emotional practically reasons ... whichever you two choose, I hope you find enjoyment in the journey.

[Moonbat]

thank you all

Ursa, thanks, I wondered if there was something that denoted a difference between the male and female betroved, as a silent e I suppose I can get away with it verbally, but on here I should have expected someone (probably you) to point it out.

Parson, as you live in Iowa it'd be a bit far for you to come, also as I am a militant atheist it wont be a church wedding. But, Sonia will become a Parson(s) too.

thanks again everyone, I will keep you all posted.

Way to go!!! But... whaddya mean, you asked her?? Didja get down on one knee? Was it over a romantic dinner by candlelight? Was your heart going whumpity whumpity whump? Please tell me you weren't passing her the marmite and said "Wanna marry me?" (Although I can see that passing something as precious as Marmite, can be a very moving event in itself.)

Hearty Congratulations, Moonbat, what a great day!!

[Perpetual Man]

Congratulations Moonbat, what a great thing to see at the end of the weekend, congratulations to you both.

(Don't listen to anything Boneman says, no matter how you proposed it cannot be worse/better than the way I popped the question)

[Mouse]

Congrats Moonbat! I was down your way on Saturday. Didn't see 'ee though.

Perp, spill.

[Moonbat]

We were having a picnic on a cliff top in the middle of a long walk. I was very nervous, mainly that it wasn't romantic enough and she would say 'no' but even though she compained that her roll had gone soggy it was a picturesque moment and so, down on two knees, I asked her.

And yes, Perp, spill them beans, it wasn't hidden in a can of beans that you purposely spilt was it?

[alchemist]

The morning of the day I planned to propose, alchemissus went off to work with my keys, leaving me trapped in a flat with bars over the windows for six hours. I forgave her, though.

[Ursa major]

I'm glad Sonia realised that she didn't want to "fall" off that cliff, Moonbat.

I don't think you have any reason to worry about whether it was romantic enough.

Ahem.

It started off so well. I managed to get her ring size without any suspicion. I made a choice of ring on my own (and she still says I could not have chosen any better). I came home from town on a Saturday morning, sat down beside her on the sofa, then waffled on for about 30 mins about how long we had known each other, how long we had been together, then said something about how we should make it official and tossed the bag to her.

I did not even ask her to marry me. She did not know what I was talking about. And it took a few minutes for it to sink in once she opened the box and saw the ring.

(I did afterwards go down on one knee and ask her, but by then it was too late.)

Still, gives a unique story...

"How did he ask you?"

"He threw a bag at me."

[Ursa major]

Better that action than spelling it out in words: "At the risk of appearing to be off my trolley, I want to ask if you will be my bag lady."

[Parson]

Perp, I'm sure she married you for love not for throwing a bag at her.
