Surprise for the FI....

[iwannaprettyone]

...say i am crazy but a couple of weeks ago I surprise my now FI with a Harley Davidson (the one he has been pining over for 3 months). Yep you heard correctly, it was great but so complicated to pull of the surprise!

I had his biker friend drive it from the dealership to a local biker bar and had FI meet us there. I wanted to go look at all the bikes in the ''Bike Barn'' out back.

We turned the corner as his buddy said "there are so more cool bikes around here"... as we rounded the corner and FI said "Babe thats the bike I want, baby that''s my bike". That''s when I said "Hun, it is your bike..."

Silence

"Babe, it really is your bike....

I honestly felt like I was proposing

AWWWWWWWW

I love Harleys, and I definitely think that would be the *perfect* gift.

 

[Independent Gal]

AWWWW! that is ridiculously sweet. I''d love to be able to do something like that for my FI. Someday....

 

[NYCsparkle]

wow!!! He must have gotten shaky knees and been flustered at that awesome "proposal"

. what an awesome gift.

 

[Ellen]

Awww, you are too nice!!! No wonder he''s marrying you.

I can only imagine how good that must have felt. It''s my dream to surprise my hubby with an older convertible someday. He had one, but got rid of it cuz kids came first and the expenses it needed just weren''t there. I daydream about surprising him.

Good for you!

 

[poshpepper]

Wow, what a nice gift!!! And great surprise... TOO COOL!

 

[Skippy123]

awesome! Very sweet too!

 

[Delster]

Oh my gosh! Wow! May I marry you?

What a wonderful thing to do for your FI! I have so many things like that I would love to do for my BF... one day...

 

[bee*]

wow-what a present!! He must have been so thrilled!

 

[lyra]

Okay, that was definitely the best surprise a guy could ever get. Sort of like when a woman gets her ER!

 

[Kaleigh]

That''s so sweet!!! I bet he was thrilled!!!

 

[nessvan12]

Wow, great gift...i''m sure you racked up tons of brownie points...

Very Sweet!

I got my proposal 2 weeks later...

Looks like cooking the ''engagement chicken'' will get a run for its money...though the chicken is a lot cheaper!

Great bike, and a really nice gift!

What a great gift! How sweet! Please be careful though (sorry, the future mom in me and DH has been in a horrible bike accident before).

You make the rest of us look pathetic with our little shirt gifts, or our electric mustache trimmers, or what about the new digital keyboards, and electronic measuring tape, or our gas powered weed eaters... or just the latest CD...and then well...we aren''t even in your league.

That is one cool story. Good job! I think it is cool you look so casual. You aren''t even close enough to him to hug him. There is some chain thing dividing you. It was all about him....not about ME GIVING YOU this. Top notch you are!

Iwanna...I am SOO jealous! Guess no one can tell from my screen name I''m a biker chick or anything! Sadly, FI is the only man I''ve been with who will NEVER get a bike! Argh!

You really are making us all look bad, you know...all my FI got as an engagement gift was a titanium watch. I really hope he never finds this thread...

Ahem. I will have you know that *those* gifts can help a man look stylin on a Harley, as well as offering them something else to do for the short bursts during the day when they are not obsessing over their new toy. Hmph.

OK, I admit, great story, great gift, great girlfriend, I mean, fiancee!

*off to return TGuy''s noise hair trimmer*

 

[snlee]

Awww, that is so sweet of you! What an awesome present!

Cute picture too!

 

[Gypsy]

John would pass out if I did that for him. He wants a Harley so BAD. What a fabulous Fiance you are!!
