    To be honest, I think I borrowed the ring money from my mom, which reminds me: I still owe her. :)

    I proposed to Mrs. Lono about five minutes before April Fool's Day.

    "You sure?" she asked.

    "I'm sure."

    "You sure?" she asked again. "This is your last chance to back out."

    That was it.

    Be prepared for an extended phone call to her mother once she starts breathing normally again.

    My mom lost her toe while mowing the grass. Really.

    But I digress . . .

    on the subject of rings, give at proposal or let her pick it out? Which is SOP?

    My brother lost a finger courtesy of a lawnmower.

    Is this the first relatives-who-lost-digits-in-yardwork-accidents jack?

    You could go sky diving and ask her when you jump out of the plane.

  12. Try your best to make it a surprise. That worked for me.

    My wife had picked the ring out and she knew I was making payments on it. Still, I convinced her that I couldn't afford to pay it off until after Christmas.

    So we went out on the anniversary of our first date - two days before Christmas - and when we came home from dinner I gave her a huge wrapped box as an early Christmas present. She opened it and found a tiny box inside.

    I got on my knee and proposed as she opened the tiny box and found the ring. It was perfect.

    Surprises are good.
