From #Metoo to #IDo. Many modern brides living in the age of female empowerment aren’t waiting for prince charming to pop the question — they’re taking their happily-ever-afters into their own hands.
“I knew if I proposed he would have a ring and I wouldn’t be like a kept woman,” said Rebecca Reed, who proposed to her boyfriend in July on their one-year anniversary date. “I was like: I’m taking it by the balls and doing it.”
Danielle Sinay, emboldened by the women’s movement, asked her boyfriend of three years to marry her in October.

“So if she proposes does he get a diamond?”
He gets 75% of a diamond because she says that’s all she can afford.
If men are going to be the hunted as far as marriage proposals, the traditions are going to have to change. I don’t give a hoot about a diamond ring and a foofy expensive wedding gown, I want an ATV.
I learned long ago to agree with a Woman who is on her Knees proposing ANYTHING while handling the Boys.
There was a scene on Two and a Half Men where Charlie ran into a old Girlfriend (whom he didn’t recognize) who had become a Urologist, his new Urologist. Cringe worthy scene.
Does this explain your screen name as well? ;)
That’s sweet! That sounds like my husband and I when we first met.
LOL. I have another user crying in her closet right now.
You want the truth? you cant handle the truth.

Why yes, I am snotty, thanks for asking!
Naah not you. Poor NoPardons asked a question and I gave her a straight answer. Poor womans wig blew off. I am not a saint. I am a bad man. In a good way. Wink. Never did bad to anyone. Was bad tho. A Bad Bad Man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K6TcATg_aw
I was neither nonplussed nor shocked...no matter how much you had hoped for both.
OK, that was the weirdest thing I’ve seen in a long time.

It’s called Sadie Hawkins Day
Yes this is good and you do not have to say yes just as they do not either. However, women do not deal with rejection as well as men. We got used to it starting in high school.
Beware the vengeance of the scorned woman, it is ugly ugly ugly! :)
They finally tore down the charley Brown’s in Woodland Hills. I remember my dad’s 40th birthday surprise party in there when I got to drink a real Shirley temple.
So you, old lady went to Warhol parties... ;-) good for you.
Put your keys in the bowl.
Heh.
Best relationship ever.
Oh hell no; never went to a Warhol party. Not my kind of scene at all...I never was "trash". ;^)
Did happen to be at the same restaurant ( Max's Kansas City ) as Warhol and that gang of weirdos, though, very long ago. So what? You never know just WHO you'd run into, in Manhattan, back then and now too. Sat directly behind James Coco, in a movie theatre, when we went to see THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES, back in the day...for example. LOL
And don't call me "old"; kid. ;^)
I was just being silly because of what I heard in the video.
My allergies are kicking my butt today.
