    Way back then, you could buy a full 1-carat diamond for $75, right?
    I wish!

    Wikipedia:

    The idea that a man should spend a significant fraction of his annual income for an engagement ring originated de novo from De Beers marketing materials in the early 20th century, in an effort to increase the sale of diamonds. In the 1930s, they suggested that a man should spend the equivalent of one month's income in the engagement ring; later they suggested that he should spend two months' income on it. In 2007, the average cost of an engagement ring in USA as reported by the industry was US$2,100.

    Haha I can see your point, I am planning on selling a load of artwork/books to partly fund it. The next task is to steal her ring for the measuring tomorrow ... This is all very scary!

    Or you could (if she's a light sleeper) while she sleeps wrap a piece of paper or string around her finger, measure it, and have her ring size and her ring isn't missing at all so she has no reason to question it.

    My message board is back in operation again. I'm not sure what the problem was, exactly, but I seem to have fixed it! I'm in the process of migrating to a new board, so this is just temporary.

    Yes, quite easily. It would probably even work on most light sleepers.

    Personally I would do it at the beginning of the meal however it really should be whatever feels right for you. Good luck.

    Tell the waiter to put an expensive bottle of champagne on ice. Do this by phone before you go to the restauraunt. Propose to her at the start and the waiter brings the champers in.

    The best bit about this; she will be to happy to eat a lot, thus you save some money to pay for the champaigne.

    I'm sad to say that I've yet to read anything of his, but Something Wicked This Way Comes has always been on my "to-read" list. Hmmm, maybe I should move it higher up, I think.
    Never be cruel and never be cowardly. And if you ever are, always make amends.
