First of all, I just want to say..."what a great site"! Came across it while searching for proposal ideas. And boy, am I glad!!
Anyways, I just purchased the engagement ring this week and will be picking it up on Saturday. It is a 1.05ct, color I, clarity VS1, ideal cut in a platinum "Scott Kay" setting...from Robbins Diamonds in Philadelphia.
I''ll be asking for her father''s blessing sometime in the next two weeks. I''m not really that nervous about it. He is a real nice guy and we have always seen eye to eye. In the past, he has mentioned to the both of us that I do not need to ask for his permission. However, out of respect to both my girlfriend & her father, I have always been set on doing so. As of now, I am just looking for the right moment. My one question in this area is...should I include her mother in the conversation or just talk to her father?
Now for my main issue. I have already made plans to stay at a B&B in Ocean City, NJ the weekend of Presidents Day. We will be arriving on Saturday and returning on Monday. My girlfriend loves the Jersey Shore (particularly OC) and I thought it would be a great idea to pop the question someplace in that vicinity. I just can''t figure out the best time or exact location to pop the question?? I''ve been losing sleep the past few nights thinking about it.
Please Help!!!
