What if she has 3 thumbs and they're like 10 inches long?

bought a ring; so we are past this point.

yeah, diamonds and gold, especially when combined and shaped into a wearable fashion item, have absolutely no resale value...

Ever thought of doing a dive and having some instructors place the ring in the water in a specific spot for y'all to dive to?


Absolutely not. The open water is REALLY big. I'm not letting that ring out of my sight until it's on her finger.

Put it in the lunch meat drawer in the fridge. Then tell her to grab you a high life and make a sandwich.

In all seriousness bud congrats and good luck. I got nothing because all my friends do the stupid Pinterest shite

The subtle hints of slavery was a really nice touch to let her know who was really the boss for the rest of the relationship.

Isn't there some type of weight that you can put on the waterproof box? Carry it with you on the boat, and then right before y'all dive have someone "scope out the area" while you help her get all her gear on and then distract her until the diver resurfaces. At that point, just swim straight to the drop off and voila. I think you are missing a golden opportunity by not incorporating a scuba dive into the proposal somehow.

Eat it, go sit on the pot the next day, let her know you're pooping, then call her in to see what you produced

Proposing underwater sounds like a way for it to potentially turn bad. You really want that moment to possibly end up where you have to rescue her underwater?


As a woman, you never know how you are gonna respond when it's finally happening to you. What if she freaks out underwater? Not saying freaks out in that she is saying no, just that she is so happy it's happening she isn't staying calm like she should while diving.

I knew my proposal was gonna happen at some point....and I still couldn't believe when it finally happened. I actually laughed at first when he asked....just because I was so overwhelmed that it was finally happening.

We went on a short trip to San Antonio. I booked a suite on the riverwalk and told her it was an early birthday present. I asked after we were alone in the room for a few minutes. I'll never understand the attention whores that do it in public.

I see your point. What about a dolphin excursion? Have one of the dolphins deliver it to her personally.

I would say an expensive engagement ring anywhere near open water is just a bad idea

I'm definitely considering a dive aspect, just not sure on the logistics. We will be in Cozumel for a dive next month so it's highly possible.

There is that really cool lighthouse on Cozumel. Gorgeous views from the top.

A penguin delivered the last one. I'm going to try something different this time.

Well I don't have a grand proposal from when I popped the question, but it was simple and she still balled her eyes out

She was returning back to our base from being on leave visiting family. I picked her up and had flowers for her on her return. Drove back to the dorms, and we went to my room (she was living with me in my dorm even though it wasn't allowed), and I had a card in the door frame. She read the card, and I had written "I hope you enjoy your surprise" in the card. She opened the door and I had tea light candles lit up in the room with rose pedals all over the floor and "I <3 U" spelled out with pedals on the bed. I had our song (George Strait - I Cross My Heart) playing softly in the background and I took her hand and we danced in the middle of the room. I had the ring out of the box and in my back pocket for easy access. I started talking to her softly saying all the mushy stuff and then I reached into my pocket, pulled out the ring and took her hand. I think at this point she pretty much knew as the tears started. We stopped dancing and I slid the ring on her finger and asked her to be my wife and she of course said yes.

Simple yet effective.
