TreeStandBowHunter Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Re: Slightly off topic.. How to pop the question? Actually Steve, I been married since '95 but that's alright, you didn't know . I say that to my wife all the time (jokingly of course ). A little inside joke between our family. My family makes fun of me because I used to turn down dates with my then "girlfriend" and now wife, and go hunting or to hockey games instead . I was a terrible boyfriend. Hunting was the only thing I had on the mind. I am not a sentimental kind of guy. I don't believe in big weddings and all the love junk that goes with it. But no, I wouldn't ever be serious and say that to some woman who you want to be married too. Hey Steve, you should swing down to Worcester,MA on your way home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] throw some helpful advice my way [/ QUOTE ] Look woman, heres the deal. You know enough about me to know how I am. I work, hunt and hunt some more.

Once the kids are in school, you may work...hey, are you listening to me? Now, you will not ask questions when told to do something, you will just do it. If I come home grouchy, you know it's because the house is messed up, fix it. Christmas and your birthday will not consist of jewery, flowers or chocolates.

Tominator Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Re: Slightly off topic.. How to pop the question? I took my wife to church, sat her down in front of the candles, told her to light one and explained that the candles were for special intentions, and such and to make a wish. She prayed a bit, and I produced the ring. She snatched it, and ran out of the church! So I followed her and said "so is that a yes?"

Newarcher Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Re: Slightly off topic.. How to pop the question? Truthfully, here is what you do BEFORE you pop the question: Fashion a 2x4 frame with a cross member that rests about the height of your forehead. Rig up a latch that you can trigger using a string. Next, get a 16 pound sledge hammer and drill a hole across the bottom of the handle. Attach the hole in the sledgehammer handle to the 2x4 cross member. Attach the string and latch to the head of the sledgehammer and raise the head of the sledgehammer as high as possible (using a tree branch or a rafter in the garage). Stand directly in front of the 2x4 frame, facing it. Trigger the latch and then go spend a day with your girlfriend. If you still want to marry her, pop the question any way you wish! Actually, just chose something meaningful as she will remember it for the rest of her life. One other piece of advice, don't use the tupperware wedding presents for deer chili or spaghetti because it stains and that is the only reason she is marrying you....the tupperware and china! Congrats, I would just make sure she knows the ground rules going in.....my wife of 13 years reminds me often that "you didn't hunt when I met you". My response? "Hey, people grow!".

brad dryden Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Re: Slightly off topic.. How to pop the question? Well you could do it where the first place you had your first kiss with her if possible thats the best ive got so far. Or pick the most remimorable place that you two hav shared ( Not in the back of a car or a truck though) if you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horst Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Re: Slightly off topic.. How to pop the question? When I proposed i think it went something like this. wife"We been living together for 8 yrs, when are we gonna get married" Me "But we hardly know each other, lets not rush into anything" Wife" we have a kid and another one on the way" Me, "Ok, if youll shut up and get outta the way so I can go hunting we can get married" The secret is doing it at the right place, something romantic like Hardees, not the drive through though, take her in for a nice quiet sit down meal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitteken Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Re: Slightly off topic.. How to pop the question? Go out and kill a deer. Have her help you field dress it. Reach in and pull the heart out, hand it to her, say "I want you to have my heart" then drop to one knee and hand her the bloody ring. I know I'm a helpless romantic.

Palssonater Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Re: Slightly off topic.. How to pop the question? A friend of mine got a HUGE banner made and hung it on the side of a grain trailer pulled by a semi truck. They were sitting around and all of a sudden this semi driven by his friend hits the engine brake pretty bad and blows the air horn. It said Marry Me Amy on the side. Before she could figure out what was going on, he had the ring out infront of everyone and was proposing. That was a killer one! I had this big idea that we both love snow and winter. I was going to propose on the first fluffy snowfall. You know the special kind of snow that you want for Christmas Eve. Well, the snow came and I was away deer hunting with my neighbor. He shot a deer and we had to go home and get a ATV to go get it. By the time we had dressed it, and got it back home it was 1:30 at night and she was in bed. Within the next couple of weeks the suspense was killing me. She was working an evening and came home with me and the dog outside under the yard light. When she asked what I was doing, I told her to come here. All of a sudden it started snowing!!! I couldn't believe it. I asked her right there and got my knee all wet in the snow. I think she still has a picture of my right knee after we calmed down and went inside! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierbuck Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Re: Slightly off topic.. How to pop the question? I took mine to the Mayor's Christmas Tree in Chicago-Daley Plaza, just before Christmas. Dropped to a knee and opened the box and asked. Then it was champage and a carriage ride through downtown. My thought was that was a time and place that would always be there, and we could go back to it and reminisce. HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
