to not know the etiquette

[maddening]

for asking my chap to marry me on 29th- do I get him a ring? But chaps don't generally have engagement rings? Do I get my own ring ( will only be a cheapy thing either way but more of a token I guess )

he better bloody say yes! After 8 yrs, buying a crap house and having a baby (wonderful) together I think he probably will haha

thanks for any tips

mads

FWIW OP I have bought a few things from Not on the High Street - all really nice quality.

Sew a pocket on to the vest - maybe heart shaped?

Ooooo, I'm so pleased the link was what you wanted
Tell us the moment he finds them!

Do let me have the vests if you still want them done, I popped onto to check he hadn't beaten you to it yesterday

Cufflinks are lovely

the vests arrived today so will get them sent over tomorrow - v exciting!

no v day proposal either and the cufflinks arrived too - so all go!

Thanks Honeydragon -it's going to add an extra special touch to my proposal ! If ds wasn't asleep next to me I would be squeaking with excitement all over the room!

How exciting! It's going to be lovely. Good luck maddening

I've never been so pleased someone didn't get proposed too

Have a good think about how you want it phrased too

I've been going over and over the wording and keep coming back to "will you marry mummy" I think it's nice and simple.

Have the vests packaged up, didn't get to the post office as I had miscalculated the date and thought that we were going to see Chris and Pui of Show Me Show Me fame tomorrow but it turned out to be today - followed by mad dash across Cheshire - but we will be out asap in the morning and send t next day delivery .....

OP I'm begging you keep this thread updated!

That's fine plenty of time

Just shown the cuff links to DH and told him your vest idea and he thinks it's a great idea

Ooh very sweet, marking place. I asked DP last leap year and he said "f* off", he thought I was joking :(

I asked him again last year and we get married in October :)

vivi - are you not proposing too?

awwww ruel am so glad you had a happy ending and also that you asked again!

Nah. Part fraidy cat, part still living in deluded hope that DP has some sort of grant plan I'm thus-far not privy to.

Maddening, have pm'd you.

They are on the way!

In fact I've had a big grin on my face all day as they are the cutest thing I have done EVER >

Oooh! Good luck! Lovely story.....

marks place :)

I've heard that if you wear red undies when you propose your DP will be guaranteed to say yes, not that any bloke in their right mind would say no!

Marking place...good luck OP

feel bubbly in my tummy with excitement - it's hard to keep it a secret from dp it's that exciting - I don't know how men do it ! It's like when you get pg and are keeping it quiet till the scan - except then you have dp to be excited with!

am not doing the pocket thing as told my sis and she thinks get ring with dp, but the cufflinks are bulky for a pocket in a vest - they come in a nice little box so might go down on one knee once he reads the vest....

Thank you HoneyDragon for making this extra special - can't wait to see them! Dp will be amazed when I show him this thread afterwards!

shit - no red knickers - must get some!

I love this thread! Good luck op :)

the vests are here and are TOTALLY AMAZING HoneyDragon is a real gem and amazing mnetter! She has done a fabulous job - no one could beat it!

I will get photos all the way with ds in the vest and a sneaky one as dp is changing him etc

OMG I have to wait a whole bloody week ARRRRRRRGGGGHHH!

Honeydragon..... do you still have what it takes so make one of those vests?

I'm seriously considering asking DP to marry me

DS is 3.6, I think a T-shirt would work better than a vest

You should start your own business!
