The time has now come...

[Tom]

This has been on the cards for a while but now its time for me to ask my other half's father for her hand in marrage.

This is quite a big step for me as it is for most people but i know for a fact she is one. :)

She has already selected a ring already (link (http://www.hsamuel.co.uk/webstore/detail/R/3408337/?Ns=P_Current_Price%7c1)) so now I have some saving to do. :(.

I just thought i would share the great news with my pals and lasses.

Im buying so have a :beer1: or :guinness: on me everyone. :)

[Danno13]

Congratulations, need a DJ? :D

[Sapphire Disco]

Just her hand , don't you want all of her :D

Ring looks OK but I could beat that price easily and with a better quality diamond :)

[BeerFunk]

Congratulations! ;)

You're quite young though, you don't want to be hasty! I take it you have lived with her for a while?

[Paul James Promotions]

Congratulations

[One Vision]

:claphands: congratulations :beerchug:

[Tom]

Congratulations! ;)

I don't live with her yet but we have been together for 4 years in may already. It was her idea mainly really but in the end it the best idea to move on that one step forward. Also this don't mean we are going to get married in a few months time, we want to take our time and make sure everything is sorted before the actually day like getting our own place, funding ect ect.

[Shaun]

Congratulations Tom. :) :approve:

Quite right about not getting married right away.......I've been engaged for 9 years. :lol:

All the best to you both. :)

[Penfold42]

Well don chap.........:)

All the best.......:) .........when does my other half have to start looking for a hat then.....so she can budget......:p :D

[UltraBeat Entertainment]

:claphands: Congratulations...:claphands:

Personally i would have got a place tougether, settle down abit then ask her (as i'm trying to do at the moment) but thats just me.

So i guess you havent popped the big question to her on one knee yet then?

Hope everything works out well for you and i think the important thing is not to rush through the whole thing. take your time and enjoy it.

Well Done Mate:) .

And thanks for the :guinness: (mines a coke as i'm driving:))

Wouldn't it be better to wait until she's at least sixteen!

As others have said, move in together chap. Test the water a bit.

That's what me and the wife did and we are still married 12 years later.

[Corabar Steve]

Indeed, I've been living with Angela for as long as Darren has been married, although we haven't felt the need to get married.

I wish I'd done the same with my ex before we bought the flat etc..

[Sam]

Nice one Tom,
:)

Although if it were me I wouldn't do it so young - i'm sure you will both be very happy :)

[axeman]

yeah i agree with the sound advice already given, move in together first,

I had a luck escape once a while back, which could have led my life completely down the wrong path, i was engaged and thought it was love we were looking to get married, and it was only after the relationship broke down that i realised she was possesive, manipulative, jealous, not to be trusted and very bitchy, as i say a lucky escape indeed !!

im married now to a great woman who lets me live my life DJ stylee.

[DJWilson]

Congrats! :) All the best. :beer1: :beer1: :beer1: :party1: :boy_hug: :girl_hug: :claphands:

[HaiFai]

Congratulations and Good Luck Cheers for the :beer1:

I agree.

However long you have been going out with someone, you don't REALLY get to know them until you live together!

[Sam]

Congratulations Tom!

and no all their annoying habits.. :D

[rob1963]

Indeed!

[Tom]

Thank you for your kind words everyone. Really means a lot to Rachael and I. :)

As to moving in together, well we are working on that. The only thing is that her dad was in the navy from a young age so really what ever he says, go's and I respect that as Rachael is his only daughter.

I'm trying to convince him that if we live somewhere in the village and not move to far away. So far so good but there still a way to go yet.

[pulsemobiledisco]

Congrats mate

I know what you mean when you say you know she's the one. I got engaged at 18 after being together for only 6 months. I knew from the start Sarah was the one for me. We started as a long distane relationship then I moved up to Blackpool to live with her at her parents (thats was fun, not!!!) for about a year, then we got our own place and have been their nearly two years now. We get married on 17th May, so not long now, we can't wait. 5 weeks ato go!

Well I'm 20 and my other half is 18 but it was mostly her idea and her parents are cool with it as we have nearly been together for 4 years. But then again I have known here for 6 years so we go back a little bit.

[Dragonfly]

congratulations mate and may i welcome you to the elite group of gentlemen with the title husband who will never be able to say or do anything right ever again :D :D :beer1: :beer1: :beer1: :beer1:

[Marc J]

Congratulations Tom (and Rachael) :)

Forget all that moving in Malarkey, what you want to do ASAP is take the ridiculous amount of money you would have spent on the wedding and go on a round the world trip. Then get married half way round. Job done :)

[Excalibur]

Congratulations, young man. I wish you and Rachael all the best. :D

[Penfold42]

and no all their annoying habits.. :D

...yeah we have one on here......oh sorry 'habits'...i thought you said 'hobbits'...........

[Jiggles]

...yeah we have one on here......oh sorry 'habits'...i thought you said 'hobbits'...........

You call on me :D

All the best Tom :)

[Tom]

Just want to say thanks again. :)

Now I can start the bidding wars for anyone who wants to be my wedding dj. Thats correct, you pay me to be my DJ. :lol:

The highest bidder wins. :D. May I start the bids at £300....

[Sam]

I'll do it for you at my special rate Tom.

It will be £1000 for 4 hours. (and that is you paying me)

:-)

[robbiedj]

Good luck, hope you are both very happy.

What about the engagement party then? Where will it be? Is there a free bar? :devil: :devil:

Now why didn't you think of that?.....oh wait, you did. :D

[Corabar Steve]

Just picture it, more DJs than guests :sj:

[Jiggles]

And who ever the DJ is we should all go up to them and say we are all DJ's can we have ago :D

[Shaun]

Just picture it, more DJs than guests :sj:

No pressure on the DJ that's playing that night then? :d

[Penfold42]

Just picture it, more DJs than guests :sj:
If we get an invite........can you claim that on exspenses......

[robbiedj]

No pressure on the DJ that's playing that night then? :d

Now, would anybody on this forum put pressure on a fellow dj? :devil:


On second thoughts, poor soul. :run:

[theoloyla]
