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

Good luck! I proposed to my now DH eight years ago tomorrow, and this year we celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary (and our son's second birthday). Yay for Leap Year proposals!

Hi Maddening, unlurking to say good luck! Love the vest Honeydragon! Have almost decided to ask my DP to marry me too, bit like TootSweet think he would be happy to be married but worries about details of the actual wedding day as he is a bit shy. Have been together for 16 years + have 2 DC, no rush but think this might be the year. Can't wait to hear your news 2moro Maddening

No wonder you want to marry him- he does all that and you are a SAHM? Dinner, bathing the baby etc! Im impressed!! Could you not have done it this morning waiting for the end result is going to drag as much for us as you im sure!!

Just to confirm, I will NOT be joining in today but am hugging myself with excitement for you maddening.

So if he's home at 4, then cooking, then running DSs bath, what do we think... Grand Vest Reveal about 5pm?

Grin - I had nothing to do with the underwear someone up thread ^^^ mentioned the necessitation of red underwear for marriage proposals leading Maddening to a last minute dash Grin

Maddening, really good luck for tonight and remember even if he declines you still have a lovely man who is definitely a keeper Smile
