Yes we all know what a bad boy Wayne Rooney has been and Kerry Katona is apparently “disgusted” in her OK column this week…another shocker! But what I found to be the most shocking from all the news articles that have been kicking round the web this week was how he proposed to Coleen. Did he whisk her off to St Lucia and have a steel band play some cheesy tune whilst he asked the big question? No! Did he sail her to the South of France and wine and dine her in some exclusive bistro? No! Did he fly her to Venice and get down on one knee in a gondola? NO! Wayne proposed to Coleen on none other than a Petrol Forecourt!!!! OMG – yes, what a classy guy, do you think he maybe offered her a cheese and onion hula hoop as a wedding ring? Sheesh, well with this new found knowledge I feel luckier with my hubby than ever before!
Not that it really matters how someone proposes, but for a multi millionaire or in fact for anyone a garage forecourt just plain sucks! You don’t even need to have money to make the proposal special; a picnic in the park would be nice. Or even a romantic stroll in the countryside would also be lovely.
So this has got me to wondering what the top 5 ways to propose without it costing a penny?
Here are the ones we liked best.
1) The old fashioned way. Get down on one knee with a rose (taken from your Mum’s garden) clenched in your teeth and the ring in your hand. It can be done anytime but when she/he is least expecting it!
2) Turn up at his/her office in the middle of the afternoon armed with a red rose and pop the big question. (Could be embarrassing for some, but also what a way to sweep someone off their feet)
3) Write will you marry me and his or her name in chalk on the pavement outside, big enough so they will notice it!
4) Gather all your friends and family round to your place and pop the big question in front of everyone.
5) Make a romantic picnic and take them to a very special spot or somewhere that you both regard as being special and pop the question
6) Sorry had to add this one. Get a tray and cut up toast soldiers to spell out “marry me?” and place the ring in an egg cup. Give them breakfast in bed with your special message. What a perfect start to his/ her day!
