Did the Shadchan offer any help?
Airlines sending me "We're in this together" emails.

IMO you can only kneel if you have a ring, which most of us don't propose with

I went to the city and had a caricature artist paint me proposing to my wife- while I was really just sitting next to her ...
(My brother went to him first and explained what I want, so we can just sit down and she wouldn't chap till afterwords... It worked out it end, but had a little botch up...) ,
Then I arranged a vintage car to bring us back to Brooklyn , where we had a private tour of Jewish heritage museum - where I had placed her kalah bracelet on display with all the old Egyptian jewelry.

This whole proposal thing is a bunch of garbage. For most "shadchan" shidduchim the answer was answered before the question was asked.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

I asked her if she would "do my laundry for the rest of my life."

Guess it didn't work :-/

+1. You should have asked her if she would cook you dinner
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

Hence the "so to speak". Substitute sprinkles, whipped cream, shaved chocolate or whatever you like on your cake :)
