[2 memes in 1] Love and marriage, love and marriage, go together like a horse and carriage

DIRECTIONS:
1. Comment with your characters.
2. Reply to others.
3. Go to the RNG and set the min as 1 and the max as 2.
4. 1 = Proposal, 2= Marriage

the PROPOSAL meme
We've see it everywhere. Rings inside Pokeballs, in cakes, in drinks, during baseball games and more. This meme pinpoints on some of the more interesting (and really adorable!) ways to tell someone you want to spend the rest of your life with them!

Rules:
-Comment with your character.
-Someone responds, picking a number from 1 to 8, and plays out the specific proposal situation. (Note that the second person should be the one propsing, but it doesn't matter!)
-Thread!
-???
-PROFIT.

So how are YOU going to propose to your darling dearest, after being together for so long? Well...

1. Down on One Knee
Traditionally. Either in public or privately, one of you has taken the daring risk of becoming completely vulnerable in the midst of the other. You've got the perfect ring tucked into your coat jacket, and now all that's left is to see how the other reacts.

2. Cake
After a long, very expensive dinner, all that's left is dessert. In one bite in particular, you feel a hard... something hit your teeth. Upon investigating this strange object, you find a beautiful ring covered in cake in your hand. Look up, and you'll find your significant other looking at you with those adorable goo goo eyes you just love.

3. Fortune Cookie
It's your average night at the local Chinese resturant, nothing too special. And of course, every American knows that a good Chinese meal is never over until you eat the fortune cookie. But on this night, you crack open your cookie, surprised to find there's a lovely little ring looking back at you. The slip of paper that goes with all fortune cookies reads a simple: "Will you marry me?"(in bed???)

4. During the Game
In the midst of the tired players taking their much earned break at half time, and the seemingly hundreds of birthday wishes flying past on the large screen, one message in particular will stand out to you. " ____ will you marry me?" And when you turn to your lover, heart thumping loudly, you'll see a huge ring presented before you.

5. In a Book
Just a quiet night together, playing some games, reading a few books. Upon locating a particular book, you crack it open, only to find that the pages have been hollowed out, leaving only a beautiful ring,and a delicate note saying "Will you marry me?"in its place.

6. During the Movies
A.k.a MysteryGuitarMan on Youtube's most adorable proposal. You've prepared a little scene at the begining of the movies, and had the people in charge play in between movie previews. The lights go up, buddy, and now it's your time to shine!

7. One Balloon
Better known as "the most adorable scene in Super Junior's No One music video." You've got tons of balloons, and together you and your honey let them go fly into the sky. But why didn't you let the last one go? I'll say that ring attatched to the end has something to do with it!

8. Anything!
There is no doubt in my mind that I have missed out on some really cute proposals, so make your own up!



the MARRIAGE meme
Strike up the church bells! Flower girls, hold that train high! What a massive ring! And the groom's best friends might as well forgot about seeing him at all for the next few weeks, because that dude is busy.

Busy BEING MARRIED. Like you are, now. Congratulations!

Rules:
  • Comment with your character.
  • Reply to others ICly.
  • Anyone you reply to is now.... YOUR SPOUSE.
  • Bicker, coo, argue about how the wedding went or how the divorce is going, or enjoy the many pleasures of the marital bed!

Atem looked at Dirk, arms crossed over his chest. He was getting impatient and wanted to move on with their night. His feet hurt and he wanted to sit down. Being around so many people was beginning to wear him out, though he'd never admit it aloud.

"Are we moving on?" he asked.

Part of it could be the nervousness, but no matter what the case was he felt restless.

Do we really have to go home? [Molly playfully pouted, interrupting their packing for the umpteenth time by wrapping her arms around her husband's neck.] The resort here's lovely. Call Sherlock and tell him we're not coming back. We're entirely too happy and we can't risk exposing him to that in Baker Street! [She grinned, quite pleased with her little joke.]

Would you believe that this is the first time I've ever done this?
truth_is_cold: (rhade - snoot)

[personal profile] truth_is_cold 2012-12-04 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Ever done what?

[Even if it's something he fantasizes about, it's not something he's ever actually expected of Una.]
una_persson: (headturn)

[personal profile] una_persson 2012-12-04 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Gotten married. Oh, there have been offers and there was one political expediency that I might have assisted with if I ... but no, this is the first time I've gone through with it.

[She flopped back on the bed and looked at him, amused.]

Haven't we done it all backwards, by most reckonings?
truth_is_cold: (rhade- oookay?)

[personal profile] truth_is_cold 2012-12-05 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... yes, actually, even by my own people's reconings. [Baby came first, and then marriage, and its not as if Nietzschean marriages are difficult to finalize but this is...

He doesn't know what this is but at least it's easier to name than whatever he and Brax are. Unless Brax is included, then it might be impossible.


If Una watches carefully she can watch the stoic and thoughtful face regress to something tight-jawed and apelike in his mentally rambling confusion.]
una_persson: (sweet)

[personal profile] una_persson 2012-12-05 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[From where she was lying on the bed, she could see his expression change; she bit her lip, trying not to let any amusement show on her face. Because it was kind of funny, really—those times when she could see the gears turning.]

Something bothering you?
truth_is_cold: (rhade - staring)

[personal profile] truth_is_cold 2012-12-06 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
No, not particularly. [Not bothered anyway, but he comes over to the bed and sits beside of her and leans over her.]

My people have different ideas about the commitment. It's more about family. [Than ownership, like in too many other cultures.] You've just confirmed that I'm part of yours.
una_persson: (sweet)

[personal profile] una_persson 2012-12-06 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I used to argue that one shouldn't need the confirmation. [That, and it only did one limited good when one wasn't sure how long one was going to be sticking around.] But I have to admit—it's nice to have. And to give.
truth_is_cold: (rhade - oooooh)

[personal profile] truth_is_cold 2012-12-06 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[He watches her thoughtfully. It does seem strange, not suspicious really, but strange of her to make the commitment. But then again, offspring are strange for her in themselves.]

It's not necessary. I knew. ...But I won't argue with the fulfillment of silly little fantasies.

[Nietzschean culture: raising men that fantasized about being proposed to by elite women for hundreds of years.]
una_persson: (grin)

[personal profile] una_persson 2012-12-07 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[She grins and reaches up to toy with his hair.]

It's not silly. Though I have to ask how long you've been fantasizing thus.

"Yo, Integra," Akira said, knocking on her office door, "You in? Can I enter, or what?"

"Come in," Integra responded, but it was easy to tell she was distracted, considering that with her voice also came the tapping of computer keys in quick succession.

[personal profile] last_wolf 2012-12-05 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Akira's eyes quickly adjusted to the dim light of the room, reflecting what ambient light there was.

"You're up awfully late. How many reports have you done, lately?"
integra_hellsing: (Default)

[personal profile] integra_hellsing 2012-12-05 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
She didn't bother glancing up, instead focusing mostly on what she was typing up. "A grand total of fifteen this week, but I've got a whole pile just waiting to be tackled," she replied. "At least I'm halfway through."

[personal profile] last_wolf 2012-12-05 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"Does that mean you can take a break? There's something that I want to discuss with you."
