Today a friend of mine's gf proposed to him...... it was the wierdest thing in the world... Came out of no where and instead of a ring she had a wrist thing made for him with their names and some stuff written on the back of it.... I mean there is nothing wrong with it but seriously how does a guy react to that.... freakin weird....
I'd say it depends on how their relationship developed so far, but it's certainly uncommon. Noting wrong with it, though. Grats with your friend. Well, only if he wasn't kind enough to say yes. ^^
A...wristband? I'm confused. Heck, I wouldnt mind if my future-Girlfriend proposed to me assuming we were actually in love--it saves me a lot of anxiety of deciding when or when not to do it. And it saves me money from buying a ring. :]=
Just how old is this couple Jshep? I get the impression they are young and if so I've heard that stuff all the time in middle and high school but it was never an actual serious relationship prospal, and the couple didn't last or even make it anywhere near a real wedding.
Late 20's and they've been going out for quite a while now. This was a serious proposal, and they had been talking about marriage a lot lately. I don't think he was expecting her to be the one proposing though.. Its more of a bracelet or what ever you call it with that thick piece of gold in the middle of the chain where you can put words in. I saw a photo of it and it was VERY expensive looking... I think she just didn't want to embarrass him even more with a diamond ring... Although thinking about the personality his soon to be wife has.... I guess its not that out of the ordinary she likes being different.... But I don't think anyone who knew them saw this coming.
Now all you need to do is hope that your gf never reads that last line. Edit: and a woman giving a man a ring is a bit gay, don't you think?
Well, that last line is based under the premise that I care. As long as it's not some SPARRRKLLLLLYYYYY diamond ring, I honestly don't care if a girl proposes to me--as long as we're in love. Just has to be some nice solid gold ring, heck make it fake gold I don't care. And tch, everyone who knows me knows I'm cheap >.>
Be liek my cousin. His wedding wing was not gold or silver. He got his made out of titanium. I still laugh at it. But I agree with the original poster totally here. You gotta wear the ring to the grave or divorce. So getter go together and buy one after the proposal then try to guess beforehand and maybe get it wrong. And as all ther above have said if it's all done in love it's ok by me be it guy or girl who pops the question.
I wouldn't call it gay as much as um... I dunno its like buying the groom a wedding dress instead of a tuxedo. Although I will say looking at the picture of it the thing looks pimp.
Actually, i really like the idea of using a wristband. Rings always seem to be in the way. As for the woman proposing: why not, we have equality and stuff, and traditions arent really my thing. So a woman proposing should be about as odd as a man proposing. I hope they have a happy marriage.
I think that if a woman proposed to me, it would be more...right than if I proposed to her. That's just the kinda guy I am.
