Are we ready???

OliveOilsMom

For the influx of Newbs coming to TK fresh off their Christmas engagements?  I can't wait to hear what super speshul ideas they have!

I'd totally post a gif of Miranda Tate arriving at the office in Devil Wears Prada, especially if I could get one of Stanley Tuchi's character telling me to gird my loins!  But I am clueless when it comes to gifs!

Just for you

AddieCake

I'm ready. I am off until the 6th, so I look forward to the entertainment.

OliveOilsMom

Thanks @NYCBruin That is perfect!

lmfao. I'm ready. And as an aside, I hate Christmas engagements. I live in NYC, and I like to see the tree at Rockerfeller Center, and I see at least 5 engagements each year there. Gag.

I really think it would be better if people thought of more creative ideas for holiday engagements! The routine of many is just astonishing

<----- butthurt because I was proposed to on Christmas Eve lol.

Actually I  have been thinking about writing a pre-emptive blurb for them.  They will probably think I am the fun-sucking hag from Hell, but if we can plant some seeds of civility and manners then I am all for the trip.

But you know....each and every one, in their own, special, UNIQUE way, will try to find a way to argue the point that their case is different.  I think TK would benefit more from a dictionary that defines terms such as tradition, etiquette, bully, wedding/marriage, real, legal, guest, host, manners, and rude.  Of course, then we have to assume skills in reading comprehension.

To be honest, I find it all a little entertaining.

And if I'm ever having a bad day and feeling bad about myself.... it helps.    At least I know/follow basic etiquette and will treat my guests well at our wedding this spring!

Ready.

lol, I was actually talking to another Knottie irl about this. Nothing like the season of beebees to kick off the year right.

Bring 'em on! Did you see the new Knott 911 board? If you read K'S description, it's basically a landing page for noobs.

Let the games begin! Honestly, I think everyone is ready. Been pretty quite around these parts lately!

i don't really mind if it is a "common" proposal...if it's a special/fun trip to a city they've never been to, or if it's during a family tradition on christmas eve/day, it means something to them and still is special...

on the other hand, something more creative is always a better story to tell...

ETA: typing with a cast on one hand is never easy.

I hear what you're saying, but I actually prefer cliche or common proposals. This trend of propsals needing to be unique, creative, go viral or be epic or whatever is really frustrating. A marriage propsals is a big deal. It shouldn't need anything "extra" and honestly the trend of the propsal story becoming a bigger deal than what the propsal is really about (asking someone to live their life with you) makes me sad.

@HisGirlFriday13 where is this page??  I don't see it listed under my list of boards

ETA Never mind, I found it.

Woo hoo! So ready for the speshul princesses! 

I wouldn't really attack anyone's proposal, but I'm very glad FI proposed in Sept instead of waiting for the holidays, I didn't want Christmas to be about us. People are still wanting to talk about the wedding but it isn't as bad as when we announced it.

SO agree. We got engaged in August and had a million family birthdays afterward in Sept, and I still feel like a lot of those occasions became dominated by our engagement (as did Thanksgiving). As excited as I am, and everyone else is, I don't want every gathering to become about us.

HisGirlFriday13

We did get engaged around the holidays (Dec. 21), but we had been talking about marriage for two months, and the proposal was unrelated to Christmas.

So I don't call it a holiday proposal

WinstonsGirl

We were Dec 21 too.  DH was planning New Years, but decided on the spot to do it during the lunar eclipse that year

Ours coincided with the Mayan end of the world apocalypse prediction
