opinions needed.

ok heres the g-o

next weekend i'm gonna be in sydney with my partner to see the michael buble concert (sunday night). we have been going out for the best part of 2 years now and I am thinking of proposing to her, should I do it at the concert/whilst in sydney or wait for a better oppourtunity. guys, girls what are your thoughts, yes, no, etc.

 

[MADEVO]

2 years???
How old are you man??

 

[GVR40]

22 she is 23

 

[jase]

Depends what you want to do man. What sort of people are you like?

Would you both like the fact that people are pointing and saying things like "oh thats so nice" and what not? Or would you like the privacy?

Personally I wanted the privacy - but we're both like that. Drive to the Otways and asked her in front of a set of waterfalls when no one else was around.

 

[GVR40]

you make a good point jase, as much as it would be very very special, i don't think it is the right thing for us.

 

[MADEVO]

Personally I think you should wait a bit longer in your realationship as 2 years is fark all to want to commit to someone for the rest of your life. Specially you guys being so young. (please don't be affended, just my point of view. I don't know you and your situation it is just an observation based on the statistics getting around about devorce etc...)

That aside mate, let it come to you mate, the more you plan the more possibility of stuff to go wrong. Just roll with it mate you will know when the timing is right.

I wish you good luck.

Proposing infront of a crowd would be nice IF you could organise with the events management people to have michael buble get you on stage to do it.. embarrass the crap out of you and your future wife.

however, I would go do that but I went the way of a private time to do it.

Would it be special at the concert? Is there a special place that you both hold dear, like, where you first met, where you first kissed, your first date. etc etc etc..

 

[brisvr4]

Have you two spoken about marriage yet Craig?
If not then springing this on her in a very public place may back-fire quite badly.
Personally I would do what the other guys have suggested mate. Wait and you will know when the time and place are correct!

we met at a mates place, we first kissed she was in her car outside that mates place, our first date was to the movies, I do know a place that is very special to both of us though, for her birthday this year i took her to tangalooma resort on moreton island, it was a very special weekend and in her words 'perfect', so i think i will do it there.

tim yes we have talked about marriage, we both want a long engagement, and we both want at least another 3-4 years until we are married.

[brisvr4]

lol, I'll give you long engagement Craig.
One of the guys I used to work with has been engaged since 1992 :shock:

 

[Richard]

For sure ask the question but the concert is perhaps not gonna be the best place. I liked that waterfall idea :wink:
Do you guys already live together?
I started going out with my missus in high school, she then went to Uni for 3 years and we kept it going long distance for that time, after Uni we found a place and have been living together for the last 3 and a bit years. She doesnt want to get married until like we are like 30 and that is cool with me!
My Sister on the other Hand had her then boy freind of about 2 years I think propose to her at her 21st birthday, they lived together in Melbourne for about 3 years then she dragged him to Canberra for a couple of years and they have since broken up.
Don't wanna scare you or anything just letting you kno what has been going on in my experience...

Wish I could have got away with that :lol:

Best of luck with it Craig.

 

[tUfRiCe]

dude if you love the girl and wanna marry her you dont need anyones opinion for a start you'll know in your heart....as for locatin it seems to me to be a pretty awesome and romantic occasion roses petals in bath at hotel etc all taht stuff champange...if its what u want do it mate

 

[Skankyjoe]

I proposed to my mrs when we were in sydney. Then again that's where she was living at the time. I honestly think it doesn't matter about doing some huge romantic thing for a proposal. If that's what it takes for her to say yes well then that sucks. If its meant to be it's meant to be.

My mrs and i were going out for a couple of years before she moved to sydney for 2 years for work while i had to stay in brissy for work. We're married now, and building a house. All worked out in the end

ha ha ha ha my mrs just read that and loved it

 

[EVO-00X]

If you're asking us whether you should pop the question yet or not then you obviously arent ready and the answer is 'no' I proposed to my girl during fireworks on New Years Eve a few years ago... and as fate should have it, as I was on bended knee and she said 'yes', a pinky/purple love heart shaped firework went off in the sky! I hate that fukin firework! I should never have gotten down on my knee at that point in time as all I ever hear her tell people is 'oh and when he proposed there was a heart shaped firework... it was fate... blah blah blah...." I've gotta put up with thousands of versions of that shit for the rest of my days :lol:

 

[Skankyjoe]

Knowing craig a little bit i reckon he's just nervous as all hell and just looking for the thumbs up from everyone. I voted no wait, but if you can get up on stage and you can help old bubble sing a proposal then yeah i reckon go for it.

 

[lefty]

Negative.

I dono, two years seems short to me.

Im 23 and theres no chance im thinking about this

Then again, its up to you, your life, so as cartman says...
"watevaaaaaa... i do what i want"

 

[Skankyjoe]

Married at 25, engaged at 24. Who cares about age, used to be 18/19 many years ago. And remember defacto means half of her shit (hopeing she has more then you )
