Yo whats up people. Heading Europe for two weeks. Going to be flying into the Dam, staying there a couple days, going to Paris, same thing, then heading to Munich, and then finally down to Sicily to see the family. We have both been to the Dam before, we are both major potheads, both love smoking, so I figured what better place to pop the question then in Amsterdam?


anyways, i was just wondering if anyone out there knows and sweet/romantic spots or activities i can take her on to do this. i know it is kind of last minute, but whenever i try and keep a secret from my girl she finds out, and this is the only one i dont want her knowing at all. ok so yea basically i am going crazy right now, have been with my chick since we were 17, and everyday is better. just have been reeeeallllllllly paranoid the past few weeks, looking at my life thinking that i could be a lot further down the road, and thinking of all the reasons she would say no.


anyways, thanks for any input people, really appreciate it.

I proposed to my wife @ the romantic Sunday Jazz brunch at The American Hotel's restaurant, called Café Americain, in Amsterdam. I even did the traditional getting down on one knee thing. :) She wasnt expecting it and really caught her off guard. It was great! After I proposed, with many on-lookers, the staff of the restaurant brought over 2 congratulatory pieces of very nice cake with a sparkler type candle in each, which I felt was very thoughtful of them. I left them a good tip. Good luck to you with your proposal, aod!

yea i was thinking that, but like three couple/friends of ours did that, and i would feel kind of corny doing it there. anyways we are flying into the dam, and i would rather get it over with because my girl is gonna find the ring or lose it lol.

gonna try and find some like canal boat ride or something. i have always been to amsterdam in the winter, so i am pretty excited about this trip. thanks for the words people.

take her on a canal trip, or some such. on a privat boat, or go on and open turist type boat.
how ever you do it, I wish you the best of luck, and hope for the right answer

canal trip sounds good, no way she couldn't like that.
another good one could be a bike ride followed by picnic/ring for dessert?

yes, bikes ride and picknick would be good. or maybe just find a prettyest bridge you can, and ask her casualy as you are watching the water flow. u can make it a bit spesial by makin up som symbolic bridge water referance, like ouer love has always been my bridge across troubeld water.


or, just get blasted like fugg, and ask her to,

This brought a smile to my face! :)
...Which is surprising since I'm kinda jaded about this kinda stuff, being a 'divorcee' and all.

So, I'm not sure I'm qualified to give my "advice" in this area...that being said, lol...I vote for A'dam!! :smoker: It's just too bad it's not tulip time.
...Unless you could somehow wait till you get to Italy?
Maybe you could ship the ring to your family, so you don't have to worry about her finding it in your luggage during the trip? :dunno:
But, I definitely do get your desire for wanting to do it right away...
Also, if you are meeting her extended family, in Sicily, I'm willing to bet you will get the answer you're hoping for! ;) I wouldn't take just any old schlub to meet mine.


Best of luck to you AOD!! :jump:
Wishing you two a long, happy life together!

Enjoy your trip!!

Agreed that Paris is overdone (but for a reason). I think Amsterdam is a great Idea!

Agree with the others about the canal trip especially at dusk. Some of the companies have specialized services for exactly these occasions

Think there is thread or two about this over on channels.nl.

Wishing you all the best:wave:

hey everybody. just got home last night. everything went great. the lady said yes, and this was the first trip we ever went on that we did not argue, and it was also the longest, so hopefully that is a good sign.


thanks to everyone for the encouragement, i feel like a new man.
