92xj Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) It was Tuesday night two weeks ago that I went to the river. After work, I ran home, grabbed the boat, the dogs, some dinner in a cooler, a ring and a lady. Went out to a hunting spot on an island in the middle of the river to work the pup, eat some dinner and relax while watching the sunset. Her along for the ride and relaxation. Placed a bumper on the ground by her camp chair for my knee on the rocky water's edge and did the deed. I didnt have to swim back and neither did she. Never really thought that day would happen in my life, with the dumb things I've done in the past and the women I used to know. But now, it's time for life. I believe I'm ready.

Rhino Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Congratulations Ben. Best wishes for a long and happy life together. BTW...My best friend's youngest son bit the bullet last night too. Sent me a pic via text last night with their grinning faces and her hand up showing the ring. Funny thing is he went to her parents a few weeks ago to ask her dad for permission to marry her. Went prepared too! Her dad approved but told him if he ever hit her, he'd have to deal with him. My young buddy pulled a shotgun shell out of his pocket with his name written on it and handed it to her dad. When her dad finally stopped laughing, he told him "ya know I'll use it too".

Ultradog Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Hey congratulations Silverfox!! I wish you many happy years with her. Funny you should bring it up... I just ordered a ring a week ago. Gonna do it here too. This'll be my first time - at 60 - believe it or not. She is widowed. If you need some help finding a stone/ring there is a Great forum with some very nice people who helped me find one. See the link below. No profit motive there just real helpful folks who are kinda gonzo about diamonds like some folks are about whitetails. I'm just constitutionally incapable of going to some place like Kay Jewelers or Shane Co. and paying full retail for a stone/ring. So by doing some homework and learning all I could about the "4 Cs" so I could understand those people I was able to make a much better deal. By the way, I made a post here a couple of weeks ago about the new deer stand I'm building here. It'll have electric heat and all that stuff. Part of my reason for building it is my sweetheart says she would enjoy spending some time in the stand with me but is kind of a girlie girl and Not into freezing in the open air. The new stand should allow us to spend a little time together in the stand without her getting cold. Again, congratulations! Jerry RockyTalky ?

92xj Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 ring's been bought, given, worn, and showed to every living and non living thing within a 250 mile radius of the fiance. She did help rig some new decoys last night. She has also bought me some custom hand painted decoys as a gift. She has zero desire to hunt and I have zero desire to take her. Camping on the other hand is where we will be found together in the outdoors, she loves it and the scouting that comes with it. I waited till after the answer to show her how to turn the fuel on in the boat so it would run. No matter the outcome I was not swimming home. One two letter word would have made her, luckily she said the 3 letter one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
