Well, you seem very happily married, Krono, so it definately worked.

Good luck JMClain and don't take no for an answer. :gac:

Remember what happened to that guy who popped the question at a NBA game? The girl said no and ran away.

That was a hoax, though.

Yes, I think it was at the Blazer game I was at. It was really funny. But, yes, it was a hoax.

Hi Sundeck,
I got my engagement ring for my wife at service merchandise too. Even had a 10% off coupon.

I was a poor grad student at the time, so at least I had an excuse.

We went to an NCSU-FSU football game. NC State lost

In fact it was such a blowout, it
kind of stunk..

I took her back to my place. I pretended I had lost my watch (which she gave
me :lol) and asked her to help me find it. I had the ring box hidden under the bed and
she found it and got all excited.

Oh, and where did this proposal take place :mhcky21: :mhcky21:

Heard a line once... "men used to get on one knee to propose, now they get up on their elbows".

Just a random female perspective: proposing at a sports event has to be the least romantic gesture ever. Especially if it involves a scoreboard - JMO.

Do you think a lot of women feel like you do? I always throught that women loved that :mhcky21: :mhcky21: :mhcky21: :MandJ:

Mrs. Heeler and I had a date to go to King Cole in Dayton for Valentine's Day. I bought a teddy bear and pinned its paws together so that it was holding the ring.

Well, Mrs. Heeler opened up the box and pulled out the bear, but didn't see the ring. Her mouth was saying all the thankyou's and itsoocute's, while her eyes were saying, "A stupid teddy bear is the best you could come up with, lamebrain?" :withstup:

After an eternity, the ring finally fell out of the bear's grip and fell to the floor. Mrs. Heeler picked it up and said, "What's this?"

My mouth smiled and said nothing while my eyes said, "What the heck does it look like, airhead?"

Another eon passed in uncomfortable silence. Finally, a light came on in her head :idea: . "Are you serious," she asked.

In one of the closest races ever, my brain took control before my mouth could get out, "Nope, just kidding." :mhcky21: Instead, I said "Of course I'm serious."

In just a little over a month, we will be celebrating our 7th year of mostly happy marriage.

:yipee:

I hate that race. Sometimes my brain stays in the starting gate.

Yea, my brain gets DQ'd a lot. Part of being male, I believe.

Mrs.Krono: We're getting married?

Krono: Yeah, if you want to

Mrs.Krono: Sounds good

Krono: Cool

:MandJ: Now THAT'S the way to do it.

My female perspective is a tad off, since I included a Reds game as one of my top 2 proposal locations...

: :MandJ: I do agree about the scoreboard, however, I wouldn't want it broadcasted like that...

Just something meaningful and private is more my style, symbolic of our relationship and mutual love for the Reds...

(Because I would never even date someone who wasn't a Reds fan...

j/k)
