Marriage Proposal - How was yours?

kwk9060:

Actually, we were already thinking of getting ROM (as usual...to get a flat), just that I told him if no official proposal, I'm not going to the Registry with him.....


Then our YEC chairman suggested the idea to him and he sort of take advantage of the opportunity......the flowers was sponsered by the CC leh....

My mom would agree with you.
She thinks that i have been short changed!
Cos i proposed to my husband.
Also his family did not give any dowry, also no diamond ring.
And also during the ROM, he did not bring flowers.
I expected it, so i brought my own flowers.

At least you got to choose your own flowers and buy it the style you want.
Can you imagine? I had to keep reminding DH never to buy me roses again and yet he bought me roses for the proposal. :faint:

Lucky he chose lilies during our ROM.

Actually, I had no dowry too. Didn't ask what the asking rate was, so DH didn't know too...so when he asked me, \"how much?\" I just shrugged my shoulders.

So as it turned out, it was some token sum :oops: which my mum returned without taking anything a bit of a sore point lah...at that time

If i had asked for the above, he would have given me.
It's just that i thought it wasn't necessary, but of course if he had given without me asking, i would have gladly accepted it.

carebear...ask for it at the next Significant Wedding Anniversary :love: :love:

Actually, on the very first anniversary, ask for a blank cheque (paper anniversary mah), and use it to get the ring lor.

so he is not the very romantic type?

Yes, u said it, man!
Very practical person with zero sense of romanticism.
Not so good as a lover but extremely good family man.
There are certain men that make good boy friends, and others who make good husbands.
Nevermind about the diamond ring, cos i probably keep it in the safe even if he gives me.
Actually he offered to buy me a watch with diamonds in it as it would be more practical than a stone.
