I watch too many romantic movies!

Anna-it was just the visitor visa we were going for. And I have enough money and my fiance has enough to support me as well...so next time I apply I will have to be more detailed and specific...you are so lucky Anna...spending Christmas and New Years

mirra-we will all be here when you get back from your holidays...just remember you get to spend Christmas with him...so that will be very special...and we will be here to be bitter with you when you come back...lol what are friends for...



well I am working on trying to have my fiance come over and visit me here before Christmas...so keep your fingers crossed lol...

and I love your idea of slapping cameron diaz...it would make me feel so much better...

Fingers are crossed, JEP.  And thanks for the support - I think its impossible for someone to know what this is like without being in a similar situation. Christmas will be amazing and I am so glad that we were able to work something out to spend that time together. I may be going slightly insane, but I thought about proposing to HIM while I am there... Thoughts??

wow!!! you proposing to him...that sounds wildly romantic....and he would never even guess...it is a shame it isn't February and leap year you could have asked him then and there...well if this is really what you want I say go for it...I think when you propose to him you should give him a ring and then you should get yourself one as well 

I still think he may surpise you and propse when you are there! I hope he does anyway! Mirrajay you are seriuosly one of the nicest people I have ever met in my whole life! He better! But I wish I had the cajones to do somethign like that! Jep is right it is VERY romantic:) You go get im' girl Oh man it's that twang comin' out again....note to self...STOP.

Aww thanks Jamie!   My friends say not to do it - he did just find out my ring size the last time I was there, so maybe he will do it this time. Who knows. I almost just want to have a ring for him as back up in case he doesnt do it, then I can.  How pathetic!   I never thought I would be the "waiting to be proposed to girl" ever!
He hinted at it (a lot!) last February, but we didnt see eachother, so I couldnt have done it if I wanted to.  Maybe a browse around the mens ring section wont hurt anything...

I should have asked Alan what he thought about girls proposing. Will you ask him for me?

Oh, and you will not be able to hide your adorable twang in Middlewich - so dont even try

ADORABLE?? hahha I get made fun of for being a hick HERE! in Colorado! I don't even want to think about what it will be like there lol...I will ask him right now, well in a minute I'm watching him over the webcam hanging up my clothes hehe we'll leave him to it.  I'll PM you about that one:) But personally? I think it's fantastic

if you propose to him mirra it will just be like one of the romantic movies we are all into...you go there ready to propose to him and he surprises you and proposes to you...I can just picture it now....and then you can come back and fill us all in

We could propose to EACHOTHER!  A total movie moment! 
I'd put the ring in his stocking and when he pulls it out, before he opens it, he would tell me to search around in my own stocking and then I find a ring box too.  Then neither of us would actually have to ask - it would be like one of those times when you realize how connected you are. aww.  oh and then I would burst into tears!  yay

We have a strange joke about when kids would pass eachother notes that say "will you go out with me" and they have check boxes for yes and no (dont ask why that is a joke, it just is!).  So if the dual proposal doesnt happen, I could fold up a peice of paper and put it in the ring box - "will you marry me?" and have a check box for yes and no!  He would get a major kick out of that!

Oh god what is happening to me!?!?  Someone slap me!

(thank goodness he doesnt read this board!)

That is the BEST way to ask! You are brilliant! I can picture it now....soft music twinkling Christmas lights....of course you would have to be wearing a white sweater, (isn't that what they always wear in romantic Christams scenes?)  OMG I'm so sorry everyone I totally had a Days of Our Lives moment, please forgive me 

You are lucky he doesn't read it!! Sometimes, especially on this board, I'm praying please don't change your mind when you read this....I swear I'm rational 

Mirra - TOO CUTE!   I have a feeling I don't have to ask Tim to marry me....I think showing him the ring I want in the shop window and telling him if he asks I'd say "yes" was enough of a hint, don't you?

I thought so, Anna.  Lets hope Tim behaves more appropriately, But I've been dropping hints like mad and he just laughs at me or says "no pressure, eh?"  I think that if we both had it planned that would be an awesome story to tell! 

Woo!  Jamie and I are going ring and white sweater shopping! .. maybe...  we'll see if I feel this brave in a few days!

Oh and hello Alan! (although I doubt he reads THIS thread)

Well, he told me he's not quite ready....but he's making all this room for me in his house and commented about adding shelves on the wall but making sure they were at a height I could reach, so......

Good man! Woo hoo - Thats a wonderful sign!

BF has been calling his house "our house" and "our bed", which I love.   

Is it Christmas yet???

omg you are all hopeless romantics....and Mirra becareful asking someone to slap you...because if Cameron Diaz reads this thread and sees you wanted to slap her she may return the favor....

a dual proposal would be the best ever and at Christmas how romantic.....I can see it now just like you said Twinkling lights...I don't see the white sweater...I see you both wearing horrendous christmas sweaters like in the beginning of Bridgette Jones 2 cause that would be cuter....

And Anna being blunt and to the point will probably work out in your favor hehehe

LMAO Christmas sweaters!  It would actually be more like pajamas since in my imaginary scenario its Christmas morning.  Maybe we can wear hideous Christmas pajamas to bed on xmas eve.  His will have dancing reindeer on them (including Rudolph!) and mine will have jolly Santa Claus and elves.  How horrible! 

Oh and BRING IT ON CAMERON!
