    OK I can imagine what it must have been like for you now, sorry! But you both know it's on the cards so I think that's why we can't resist teasing you.

    The worst part is, I'd hate to be proposed to in a 'romantic' way at the top of the Eiffel Tower or something, I want something more original, so if he DOES look like doing something while we're up there I wouldn't know what to do!

    This thread is getting very sneaky, I think NIM has started a whispering trend!

    Just say yes then spend the rest of your life teasing him about being so corny! I kind of wish OH had done a cheesy romantic proposal rather than just saying 'Do you want that ring? Lets go then!'! LOL!
    Those wedding planner thngs scare me because they expect you to put in costs for everything and I have no idea how much flowers etc cost and I'm scared to start looking because I know I'll have a heart attack when I find out! Going to a wedding fair with OH's Mum on Monday so I'm sure I'll get an inkling then!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    I'm sure NIM would be romantic, he manages to make doing laundry or driving the car romantic! Such a sap but I love him for it anyway!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:OH always jokes that we could never get married because i would have had a breakdown spending all that money.
    He thought it was hilarious the other week when i text him off the train moaning that a small bottle of coke was £1.70!!

    Oh nooo, he wouldn't like that at all at all! I don't know, he probably knows me better than I give him credit for, his surprise pressies are always perfect.

    :rotfl: I can imagine, I'm sure there's some formula for it like, what you'd normally expect to pay for a bunch of roses, double it because it's always more than you expect, then times it by 10 because it's for a wedding :rolleyes:

    I'm probably really nieve, but why don't people just grow some flowers, they usually know when they're getting married well in advance?!
