Things like that "price tag" are just averages -- every guy should know what they can afford and also have an idea of what their lady expects. <br /><br />My proposal was very well planned (by my guy, not some professional -- that's just crazy) and required a somewhat hefty chunk of change. He told me he looked at the ring every night for a month to make sure it was "good enough" for me, and I swooned when I heard that. So yes, to date, my proposal is the best day of my life. And I'm glad he was prepared. Though strangely I'm not part of the 88% and he never spit out the magic four words (I was too busy laughing/crying/shouting yes at the site of the ring).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-38765237136949914782012-01-10T14:12:43.467-08:002012-01-10T14:12:43.467-08:00Anon 11:10, my proposal was very romantic and trad...Anon 11:10, my proposal was very romantic and traditional and involved a beach and a ring and getting down on one knee. It just wasn't professionally planned, orchestrated, videotaped, blogged, expensive or probably "perfect" as defined by the WIC and I'm pretty sure my husband didn't need to even consult a chart before pulling it off.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764007513463436372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-1879187142792832042012-01-10T12:35:04.749-08:002012-01-10T12:35:04.749-08:00Anon 11:10, you don't even go to this school!Anon 11:10, you don't even go to this school!Amandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-43199870057231879092012-01-10T11:20:06.070-08:002012-01-10T11:20:06.070-08:00Right, Anon!
