Coach Jay Harbaugh just released a short video of his proposal to his girlfriend, now fiancee.
All the best
She said "Yeah, OK, I guess".
Congrats, Jay!
My wife reacted the same way when I asked her nearly 6 years ago.
He better enjoy it to, shortly after that other ring goes on her finger... He may need to purchase a crowbar, just what my friends said.
There are exceptions, but if I ask the friends, Raise your hand if you are getting the same as before you were married, show of hands, none.
Not a one says, my wife just wants too much "hanky panky" I can't keep up. Then after 20 years of marriage you get lucky twice a year, idiots we are.
you're doing it wrong.....
Obligatory....
Not being critical of Jay, but as a bachelor who has never seen a proposal in person or watched many chick flicks that don't have Hugh Jackman or Ryan Reynolds in them, is it acceptable to just drop to a knee without saying anything? I thought some sort of elaborate prologue was to precede kneeling.
There were some aspects I hadn't totally thought through, in terms of practical things like that. For example, the ring box I had was enormous, making concealment on my person very difficult.
Is that a ring box in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?
That just wasn't happening. I just had to switch it into whatever hand was furthest away from her as we walked.
Tip: take it out of the box and leave the box behind.
Being about as romantic as a granite deposit, I didn't think through the proposal pretty much at all really, and so it was pretty klutzy and awkward (what proposal in a hotel bathroom isn't?) but fortunately my now wife (of nearly 15 years now), being able to accept me for all the things I am not, didn't mind all that much.
My proposal was during a drunken argument. I thought to myself, "what can I say to get her to shut the f*** up?" My proposal did the trick. We've been married 30 years now.
i bet there are some dandy stories out there in the mgoworld
logged in just to upvote you.
Im nearing the finish line and not that I plan to go about it the same as you but I'm happy to see that is possible and still last 30 yrs.
I was picking her up for her brothers HS football game (he was very good) and I was late because I picked up the ring. She was stomping around the house so much that her dog came up to me and basically said "I'm sorry". So I dropped, gave her the ring and happily ever after (almost 17 years). She still thinks the proposal was bad (probably was for her).
I simply came home from the jewelery store and told her I put a down payment on her ring. Does that count as a proposal? Well it's been 8 hours and she hasn't left me yet so it can't be that bad.

... Watch out, James Franklin will be trying to snatch Jay from us now!!!
these Harbaugh guys have some fine wives.
He proposed to his ex-girlfriend? And she accepted?
Harbaughs are powerful.
Host refers to his wife as his former girlfriend, who he married.
He used the Audrey Salaman recruiting technique to get the ex back and committed.
My advice to you single guys, make sure when you propose you get down on one knee. I did not do that and after almost 13 years of marriage, I still hear about it.
Somewhere very near an airport, given the size of the plane that goes by.
