Bets on how strong the listkeeper dust is...?

[ladypirate]

Taking a page from Gwen''s book, I thought I''d start a thread...

So as of last night, K has officially gotten my parents blessing and told them he plans to ask sometime this summer. The ring has been appraised (H-I VS1, which is pretty cool for a hundred year old stone) and now I am no longer allowed to see it until it is on my finger. So I''m thinking the propsal is coming by the end of August at the latest and hopefully much sooner!

We are closing on our house a week from today and we''re moving in at the end of June. Maybe he''ll choose one of those days to pop the question? Now that it is actually imminent, I''m getting antsy!

So take your best guess, ladies--when do you think it''ll happen?

 

[Lauren8211]

I vote for move-in day!

I am SO excited for you LP!

 

[princesss]

July 3rd

 

[misskitty]

I vote for sometime around the move as well -- either move-in day or the day before!

 

[tlh]

July 4th - under a fireworks display!

July 3rd

That would actually be the first anniversary of our arrival in Portland, so not a bad guess...

I just had a vision of ManPirate proposing the day you guys move in. That would be so incredibly romantic.

Quick someone get me K''s email address

LOL!

"Excuse me, did someone here call for a manpirate?"

He has already promised to carry me over the threshold when we move in, so maybe on the front porch? *swoon*

BAHAHAHA! I just busted up laughing in my office...and it''s really really quiet. But seriously. I think I''m going to start using Manpirate as some sort of term of endearment.

 

[MonkeyPants]

LP, threshold sounds good...I vote proposal on move-in day. When you get the keys and open the door for the first time

LOL. I will be using that in my daily vocabulary from now on!

The threshold carrying is adorable. Lets see if he can carry you and get down on one knee simultaneously.

Because it sounds eerily similar to "butt pirate" which is almost as frightening, well to me anyway

I dunno, moving can be VERY stressful. I'm going to go with July 4th as well!!

Haha.. you may have a point. I had not considered the "butt pirate"

 

[Squirrly]

i vote for move in day too, especially if he''s promised to carry you over the threshold!

all this manpirate talk got yo-ho yo-ho a pirate''s life for me stuck in my head...
darn my imagination.

 

[sunnyd]

I bet on move-in day! After the threshold carrying. Yayyyyyy LP!!

 

[Bia]

Move-in night!

I am sooooo excited!!!!!!!!

 

[gwendolyn]

Hahah, what a fun idea you''ve borrowed!

I really enjoyed my betting thread.

Hmmm....think I''ll put my money on the morning after you''ve moved in, while snuggling in bed in your new home. Maybe breakfast in bed with a bit o'' sparkle?

Oooo...I like this idea! Nom nom nom...

 

[Sunset_in_Cali]

Since alot of people are going with move-in day, I''m gonna pick the night before the move-in day!

Meresal said butt pirate :points and laughs:

 

[Dreamgirl]

I have a feeling it might be the day you move into the house!!! That would be pretty romantic if you ask me!

 

[Iowa Lizzy]

Put me down for move-in day too!

4th of July would be pretty sweet too. I''m sensing a nautical themed wedding between the lady and her ManPirate. Ahoy?

 

[ladypirate]

OK, so far the bets are:

June 29th - Sunset_in_Cali
June 30th (Move-in day!) - Elle, misskitty, fiery, Monkeypants, squirrly, sunnyd, bia, DG, Travel Goddess
July 1st (First morning in the new house) - Gwen
July 3rd (1st anniversary of arrival in Portland) - Princesss
July 4th - tlh, meresal

Also, we''ll see if he actually ends up carrying me into the house...I''m a little worried he''ll hurt his back!

And Travel Goddess, lol at a nautical wedding!

 

[princessplease]

I''ll go for move in night!!!

 

[Squirrly]

 

[Squirrly]

sorry if this is a double post but no matter how much i try to tell the computer there''s text in my last one, it remains invisible to me.

and if you tell him you''re worried he''ll hurt himself that''ll pretty much guarantee you''ll get carried inside just to proove you wrong

and a nautical wedding? well there was this pirate wedding but i like this lady pirate better

 

[Squirrly]

and now to attempt the other half which seems to be the problem:

there''s always this cake

 

[b.anna]

LP: this is very very very very exciting!!!!!!

i think a breakfast in bed proposal is THE most romantic thing ever. with a ring thrown in there - it would be the most yummy-om-nom-nom breakfast

my bet is with Gwen, i think he''ll ask the day after you move in.

this is going to be so fun!
