Marriage Proposal

Good luck Heather - when I was asked my BF was seriously seriously nervous and just ended up spitting it out (the proposal that is, not the ring) while we were out having a drink the night before my birthday..... just being asked is such a brilliant thing, she'll be thrilled..

do let us know how you get on

Further to the dowry query, when my son got married down in Natal he presented his father-in-law with a porcelain cow. In S Africa the groom pays "lobola", normally in the form of cattle, to the bride's family.
 
Does his father in law talk to him at this stage? I hear time is a great healer.
 
Sadly, my daughter-in-law lost her father, grandfather and grandmother within a six week period last year.
 
I think a nice picnic with nice food some wine and a big ring should do the trick
 
I'm now happily engaged, dinner and a bottle of champers and a walk along the liffey (clean stretch in Kilcullen!!) did the trick. Now anyone got any ideas how to come up with 30k in a year?!?!?! Looks like the bmw may have to go!!

Hi Bill,

Sorry to hear this. It must have been very hard on her to lose 3 relatives in such a short space of time. Hope she is coming to terms with the loss.

Heather, congratulations, I was wondering how you'd gotten on!

Good luck with saving for the wedding

Heather.

Don't automatically assume you have to do the 30k wedding thing.
If it's what you both really want ,fine ,but I find people get carried away and don't actually think about the whole wedding thing....
