Ladies (And Gents): Come in!--Marriage

Post by Heat05 »

Serious Question about proposals

I know the protocol of going to the father of the girl and asking her hand etc etc.

What I am unfamiliar or uncertain of is the proposal to the girl....I mean, I know the most important thing about proposal is how the guy brings over the message/proposal and how sincere and passionate he will deliver his love and proposal for marriage to the girl. Thats logical.

The question I have is: ''is it our culture/tradition to give her a ring or other gift during the propasal?

Also,

The date is set: a special date.

The place is set: first place we dated

But feel free to give your best spots or dates to propose!

If a man took out a ring to propose walahi I would burst out laughing :|

I would advise you to hold her hand, look her in the eye and ask.

And don't know why but I picture the park with people walking by no pressure no eavesdroppers...I know I am sad for picturing it :oops:

:lol: In terms of tradition, there is no engagement ring....laakin, if she is a modern xalimo, she's probably expecting one. In any case, like BV said what matters most is how and where you ask...laakin it is probably best to find out what she likes and doesn't like and what she thinks of rings before you propose.

Black velvet,

Thats what I thought...that day should be about the love u feel for the person....rings and gifts are just extras :lol:


Anyways, alot of girls want to be proposed in public...maybe thats the reason why u picture a park?

I rather have a quit, beautiful place inside or outside with just me and her, while looking into her eyes and thinking/talking about all the good and bad things u have experienced together...then little bit about past, and how you picture your future...then slowly into the BIG proposal 8-)

The TIMING that is the most crucial part in my opinion..... it has to be natural yet again unsuspected. If u get her where u "1st dated" on a "special day" its all kinda cliche and heard it and seen it all before!
Just whilst you are talkin to her on the phone one time say it unexpectedly in the middle of your convo (drop it like its hot) and then go 2 her house on that special day, pass the ring on to her then there halaal :lol: :oops: im gonna stop there.

ok im so not gonna post on here for a while now :oops:

Dude xaaladu haday xumaato and your getting desperate do this:
1.Meet the dad and tell him your going to marry his daughter, if he says no say "Well she is already carrying your grandchild" and then he will freak out.
2. Tell the father not to worry and that you will marry his daughter bastard child and all and that no one will know about his daughters pregnancy prior to marriage.
3. Take you possessions, I mean your wife adiga ayay kugu qorantahay at that point.

:lol: :lol:

Miss.Nalia,

I am constrained by our culture/tradition...otherwise I would've taken this thing to a whole different level, surpass the long weekend, at the beach in the night etcc...

But the thing is, I havent asked her hand officialy...so her family do not know...nor are they aware of our long relationship...

This is the kind of girl that cannot be outside the house after it gets dark...so a weekend or a whole day outside of the house, with a guy is out of the picture.

So my options are limited ...deaar Mis.Nalia



PS: who is that lovely girl on your display?
