I say wait about 15 years. lolol I been married for 22 years. whew!! For some people a surprise proposal is neat, but sometimes it is good to
sit down, romantic dinner, and talk about what she wants. She might have some ideas you didnt think of. I like to talk it over and have fun working
it out. It is a fun thing. Discuss your future. Are you on same page about kids, future ect. Sometimes they will have a vision about their future that
you wouldnt even think about but it sounds good to you. Dont go the tattoo route. Just my opinion. Remember dont sweat the small stuff, burnt
dinner ect. And I think a big wedding is most girls priority ever since they were little girls. Not all are into that though. Thats why it is good to talk
about it. Give them what they want. I didnt give a shit about the wedding but my wife had wanted a big grand one since she was a little girl. I did
it for her, no resentments later on. lol Wedding for them, hunnymoon for you. lol Have a good hunnymoon if you can afford it. Memories bro.
Again, there is no right time frame, just what is good for you guys. If you havent talked about specifics you might be surprised what is important
to her. Comunication bro, one of the most important things for a lasting relationship. Let us know how it goes and nothing but good luck to you bro.
