Looking for some kind of proposal poem HE SAID YES!

[starchild202]

I can't wait to hear how it goes! You will do fine. Just take a deep breath and think of him. I am sure your love will calm your nerves.

Oh your ring is so pretty and your plans are wonderful. I am so very happy for you

[maggs]

Pretty ring, just two weks to wait.

Week and a half to go and the card is all ready...



I wrote a new poem. I know it's not very good, but it's all mine this time. I had some silver-flecked aida in my stash which matches the ring nicely. I think the ring will probably be a little small for him but it was all I could get for the moment, and after he says yes we can go back and find out his correct size and order that in.

He hasn't got a clue that I'm going to do this, it's going to be a complete surprise, and I love that. I think I'm going to try to find some kind of little box to put it in, something about the size of a DVD case, to really disguise it when he opens it...

So wonderful! I am so excited for you!

[Lizzieh]

So excited for you. How on earth are you going to get through the next few days?!

[Like_Fine_VVine]

Very very nice design/poem and innovative idea ... best of luck to you!

[Kute Kitty]

OK, really getting nervous now!

The Big Day is one week away. My engagement ring (the pictures really do not do it justice) arrived today.

I'm going to try to find a DVD gift box, put some wadding in it to stop the card from rattling around, then cut out a rectangle for this to sit in. After I cook him breakfast and bring him all his actual birthday presents I'll bring him the gift box as a last extra-special present. (I've bought him a few DVDs as well so it will be disguised nicely.) I will then hope that he says yes, before we go out to lunch with his sister and her boyfriend!

[karen4bells]

How exciting this is! I hope it all comes together very nicely for you!! And with all that you've done to pull this off, I don't see how he could NOT say YES!!

[pamelam]

You have everything arranged so special! I'm nervous for you!

[Mabel Figworthy]

You've got it all planned to perfection -- now it's up to him to play his part !

[Cecilia]

Oooooooooo! Best of luck KK.

I've hit a very slight, slightly ridiculous, snag...

Can anyone suggest where I could get a DVD gift box? I've tried every dedicated greetings card/gift wrap shop I can think of and turned up repeatedly empty! Any help would be brilliant! If I can't find one I think I'll get a small picture frame and frame it without the glass, but I really like the idea of the box...

[Jaki :)]

What about the boxes that the padded xmas cards come in buy a cheapone & use the box xx

[Kute Kitty]

Brilliant idea, thank you I shall go a-huntin' later
