TFFTM 1 #1 January 12, 2008 I am planning on asking my GF of 3 years + to the big "M". We are going on a cruise next month to Cozumel. People who know us have been waiting on this for years but I have tried to wait until the perfect moment. I have never been on a cruise that I did not have to wear boondocks or dungarees and do not know what to expect. I want this to be romantic and a memory we can look back on for years to come. There will be several Skydiving couples (friends of both) going with us and I want them to join in the memory that is why there is an "ALONE' option if that is best. I had planned to ask during the Captains cocktail party but am not sure if this is appropiate. Thanks gang... - Daniel BSBD Home of the Alabama Gang Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #3 January 12, 2008 Why don't you ask in a quiet moment alone just before you meet up with your friends? That way you get to share it by yourselves ... and then with your friends right after?"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Bolas 5 #20 January 12, 2008 Quote Are you sure she'll say "Yes"? No worries. Have a great cruise. That's why he's asking on a boat. If she says no he throws her overboard. Just like when Sam proposed to Dianne on Cheers. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Gene03 0 #21 January 12, 2008 I was going to wish you a congratulations on your upcoming nuptials but... by the time I read to the bottom of this post I see the marriage is over. Damn. If it's still on I would be willing to help celebrate on the ship.
