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

So excited! Where are we now? 24th?

Am I too late to mark my place? So exciting! What lovely people here..........can't wait till next wednesday.

go girl

showed my bf the vests today - she thinks they are fab

ps thanks for all the well wishes everyone :-)

I just spoke to my bf about it too, she got quite excited, now I have to do it! :)

eeeeeek eeeeeeek!

I will be popping the question on 29th too, but a) ds is 22 and may not be up for the vest thing (and isn't his DS anyway) and b) ds will not be with us as we will be on a LOVELY holiday on the other side of the world.

Can we see the vest please?

Marking my place too... I also asked dh to marry me, I'd still be waiting otherwise as I don't think it would have crossed his mind. Oooooh, I'm excited.

Wow! lots of ladies asking for DP's hands in marriage! I'm impressed!
I wonder if they do any statistics on how many women propose on the 29th Feb

Marking my place too. Good luck. :)

How exciting, my MIL proposed to her second husband on the 29th, i think it's very romantic.

ooooo purple! How are you planning to propose?

will get photos of vest - on tablet so need to work out how to get them from phone on to here - will be monday before I can do it though as dp home all weekend

Purple, in all honesty if your dp was bathing your 22yo Ds of an evening I would assume he wasn't the marrying type

Just a tought maddening. Whilst dh was getting ds2 (3) ready for his bath last night he whipped the t-shirt and vest off in one go and he wouldn't have seen a message. I don't know if this has already been said but perhaps you could put a little shirt on him so he has to take them off separately? You wouldn't want him to miss it!

good luck ladies, I'm shamelessly lurking to hear how it all goes!

good plan TheOne - will have to think which outfit would be best....

blubbing already! Darn hormones!

Can't wait till Weds!

This is so so exciting! :-) will definitely be checking in to find out what happens! What a fantastic idea for a proposal!

This is lovely! Good luck to ALL proposers on Wednesday. I'm too much of a wuss (think DP would prob say no!) looking forward to hearing replies & getting my virtual hat out!

Tootssweet, if he doesn't want to marry you, wouldn't you prefer to know sooner rather than later? (That was my thinking, and it worked).

I vote for vivi and toots joining in the 29th proposals!
