We've been engaged for a while, we've looked at various rings, we've discussed all sorts of things and sent each other pictures of stuff

She liked this one, and when I sent other options, she was diplomatically disinterested in them

In seven weeks, we're going to be in a beautiful part of the world, somewhere peaceful and with spectacular natural beauty, and I'm going to wait until we're alone, find a reason to be behind her for a second, get down on one knee and wait for her to turn around

We're both going to cry and laugh and hug and totally lose our minds!

I'm so happy!

Why is this NSFW? I came here expecting to at the very least see a pierced nipple. OP, YOU OWE ME A NIPPLE!!

Also, congratulations and I hope for a happy and prosperous marriage!

I am so glad for you both, FistingEnthusiast!

The names that some people choose on here..

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 18 points 5 days ago

Yeah, it's pretty fucked-up...

But, it's a part of our romance

I love it, she loves it, we film it, other people also love it

Romance is a beautiful thing!

Oh, and my IBS and precancerous lesions give you their best regards

I'll never own white carpet...

I appreciate you linking to Don’s original upload and time stamping it rather than some badly compressed clip

[–] executivechimp@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Talk about putting a ring on it...

I mean, if "it" is into that... 😁

We've joked about her hiding a ring inside herself that I find magically when I withdraw my fist and she yells "Surprise, motherfucker! We're gettin' married now!

I'm totally into it

Thanks so much!

OP you scared me for a minute there with that title. I'm glad you actually have talked about marriage with your partner and aren't springing that level of commitment on her unannounced.

Congrats!

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 5 days ago

Ohhhhhh nooooo..

Surprising someone with a proposal if it hasn't at least been talked about is fucked-up

We have both proposed to each other, on separate occasions, just to make sure

[–] sga@lemmings.world 2 points 4 days ago

Congrats to you. While this does not technically fall in category of news that we consider, but i will allow this one to slip by. Have a happy life. Also, i do not think this this image preview needs to be marked nsfw. I think a ring is fine. Also i had to delete a comment of yours because you did not marks it as nsfw.

[–] MummifiedClient5000 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Congratulations. I hope that you will find a unique way to incorporate the delivery of the ring in your lovemaking.

I'm going to make it special for us both

I hope you enjoy all the happy things in life!

We've been engaged for a while

Doesn't engaged mean that you proposed and she said yes? Isn't that when you give the ring? (I don't really know, engagement rings are not a thing in my culture, but that's what I saw in American movies)

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I'm not American!

And we do things our own way. We're both kinda unconventional people
