shirak!

yekparipa am first, whatever that means i see it on ppples blog..am first, am fisrt!

wow! proposing, dont even know what to say..but i'll be back when i think of sth..lol

Seen that clip before...heard that bloke had to move in with his sis and saved all his salary for 6 months to be able to afford such an elaborate engagement whatever. If you ask me its over the top. I know he wants to please his woman and show her the magnitude of the love he has for her but while doing so he has been bought into the capitalist ideology that we must consume to please which am totally against. Again another one of our fine brothers has been taking for a ride to enrich the pockets of some greedy bourgeois.

I dont know anything about proposals but I'd say you should do it when, how and where you feel like and dont spend too much on your wedding which is just one day. Invest that money instead to make your lives better in marriage. I favour a simple going to the registry with close family and friends and some light refreshments afterwards.

U can do it like d movie "diary of a mad black woman" or like my fiance did it - he axd wat i would like to do wit d rest of my life.? I rambled a lot and den he said he would like to spend d rest of his wth me. den he got on one knee and brot out d box and axd me if i would spend d rest of my life with him? yada yada yada. if u need more tips try ivillage.co.uk or buzz me on my blog. GOODLUCK!!!

Ok, I havent seen the link cos my flash os underrated...but i dont even want to imagine how over the top that proposal is!
Lol at "lack of plans"...Ur girls is gonna have ur ass...better step up!

Stp fussing bout the proposal and wedding, get to it like right now. Everytn dsnt av to b perfect.

I saw d pics of dt proposal o, n am like sho??? d guy must av serious kishi.

Oya seriouly stp all the serenren and propose. N dnt worry 2 much bout d cost of d wedding.

10ks 4 stopn by.

I wonder wat happened to will u marry me? if my man proposes like that i kill him. u can just say when will my people come to see ur pple.

Lol@anon gal!
Oga, abeg no wreck yourself on top of wedding oh! do what ur pocket can handle.

And CONGRATS on the up coming engagement. This is wishing you all the best!

speaking from the mindset of someone who doesn't go crazy for an over-the-top concept, i'd think you could just choose a really nice, quiet, but romantic night to do it. Like two of you are looking out over a nice view of the city, after a nice night of food and music, and you could just quietly ask the question (u could go on your knees, but frankly i think its a bit cheesy and played out) Less is more. Same goes for the wedding. Your special day doesnt have to be a doorway to bankruptcy, it can be classy and small. IMHO.

congrats in advance and sorry, cant see ur link..

Hmm, i think you should stop wasting time and step up and do that which is right with your woman before its too late, you mustn't spend as much as much/less than the guy that spent $25000. Am getting married come december 2008 with the most wonderful lady, thank for the song its really perfect for me and my lady.

hahaha, yes, oh, marriage is not cheap sha. So, your girlfriend wears a size 7 ring and would like a white gold ring. Nice. Can't wait to hear what design she likes.

Take it easy

NIGERIAN CURIOSITY
IT WAS SO MUCH EASIER WHEN I ONLY HAD ONE...

okay, i know i've said i have ideas, but sometimes simple is fabolously romantic, dinner...propose, or something simple as long as you get the ring right and the mood right too.

goodluck on that.

omo, me too i heard how expensive the whole wedding thing costs o. My friend just got married too and she slammed me when she said it cost about $25k-$30k. wetin man go do naa?
that proposal was a long thing tho.
I would say, do what you can from the heart and your girl will love it. Goodluck mehn!!

Tobenna, hahaha, ndo nwa nne'm, but this is ifu nanya we are talking oh ehn. You cannot put a price on it. $25, 000 is not too much, don't worry. LOL. Hahahaha.

...1st time here...

Me thinks u better get to it...just blurt it out before someone else beats u to it while u are still planning....lmao...congrats man...ee no easy...

wow! my first time here.just finished reading ur archives. kinda short though but its all gud. nice!

Guy,...what ever you do, just dont utter the words "I have decided to marry you"...LMAO...
I heard of some unlucky fellow who proposed to his girlfriend like dat...Needless to say the babe walked out on Him on while he was His Knees...lol.

All the best man. Save up for d big day o.

how to propose, try watch The Style Network on DSTV. they have a programme, I Propose. different ways.

U r ready! don't say cos of the money. Must u spend heaven and earth on the wedding and after that, drink garri with groundnut?

guy, just propose mehn, no mind me, i have no clue about doing that, but one day i will....

nice blog

@ afrobabe: someone else beat me to it??!! Murder ma shele! Free me oh.
@ Miss Pearse: what the guy said was true. Haba. He has decided to marry her. Of course I cant try that. I would be delighted if she decides to have me. She's my queen.
@ uzezi: thanks but no thanks. There is no DSTV where I am. Besides, I'm doing my own thing. Never been done. We shall not drink garri abeg.

See all the efforts you're making to make ur babe happy. he is one lucky woman and i dont think a wedding needs to be expensive to be successful.

Thnx for dropping by my crib.

my return comment is, i dont really think girls give a crap about expensive stuff once they really like you...and if you are sure she does, just do it...am happy for u!

but send me ur email cos i dont know how they get in touch with pple here, infact this blogger is kinda hard to get around:0)

@ soupasexy ngtez2@yahoo.com

first of all, let me say, your blog is beautiful, god damn

to be honest, if you want to get married, you need to be prepared and know how to want things done.

its not what you rush into, so before you take that pick step, your pockets have to be ready, its one of those things, you will remeber forever.

and it doesnt always have to be over flashy, you got to do what you go fit do.

thanks for stopping by..your blog fine sha..

If you are still searching for a diamond ring then I'd certainly recommend Antwerp, Beligum as a starting point over South Africa. I'm sure that you will have already done your research and are well aware of the 4 Cs, I say clarity and cut certainly count more so than the size of the actual diamond as there's no point having a huge diamond with lots of other flaws, a well cut, VVS1 diamond that's less than a carat will shine more brightly than a badly cut 2 carat diamond with internal flaws. If you can afford to, go for platinum rather than white gold or silver as the latter two will tarnish/need to be polished regularly over time.

lol.. hehehehe. u scare easy o!

lolllll @ ur scream!!!! $25,000. Marriage no dey easy o...

Love ur blog template...

just make sure your proposal is from the heart.
If your woman is understanding, she should know how to work around your budget.
Good luck.
