Congratulations! But just so you can’t say that your friends at the message board didn’t warn you, allow me to quote from the wise Kramer on the television show Seinfeld: > [@](#): > > What are you thinking about Spit? Marriage? Family? They’re prisons! Man-made prisons. You’re doing time! You get up in the morning, she’s there. You go to sleep at night, she’s there. It’s like you gotta ask permission to use the bathroom. “Is it all right if I use the bathroom now?” And you can forget about watching TV while you’re eating. You know why? Because it’s dinner time. And you know what you do at dinner? You talk about your day! “How was your day today? Did you have a good day today or a bad day today? Well, what kind of day was it? I don’t know, how 'bout you, how was your day?” It’s sad, Spit. It’s a sad state of affairs. ---

I had a coworker who was proposed to on GG bridge. Her fiancee had a fake ring that he “dropped” down into the bay. He let a few seconds go by before bringing out the real one. She, eventually, saw the humor in it… 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/assistance-with-popping-the-question-in-san-francisco/435022.md?page=2)
