Love is in the air! Brides magazine is predicting that over 37,000 couples will get engaged this Valentine’s Day.  To help anyone planning to pop the question, Brides.com has posted five essential items necessary for pulling off the perfect proposal. Surprisingly, it has less to do with romantic music and mood lighting and more to do with planning ahead. The five tips for a prefect proposal are:

 

1. Consider the ring

Don't get caught in an awkward situation by proposing with a ring that's one size too small. Determine ring size ahead of time by borrowing one from the jewelry box and bringing it to a jeweler. Also, have the ring insured, and don't attach the ring to anything moveable, i.e. animals or kites.

 

2. Show that you know your woman -- or man.

If your fiancé is shy, don't propose via a flash mob. Be imaginative, but be personal.

 

3. Don't jump the accepting

If you have a feeling that a proposal is about to happen, don't ruin it.  Don't let them know you know.

 

4. Phone first, Facebook later

Don't announce the engagement on Facebook before calling the important people in your life first to share the good news.

 

5. Celebrate!

Make it a special night. Make reservations at a great restaurant or ask family and friends to meet you for a toast.

Remember, if you can't get through on the air, you can always post a comment below, here on the blog. Here is this morning's letter...

 

Dear Ted and Amy,

My girlfriend and I are planning a vacation this April and I want to take her to Key West because I’ve been there before and had a blast.  Here’s the problem:  she doesn’t want to go there because she knows that I went there with my former girlfriend and she thinks I’ll spend the entire time thinking about her.  Really?  Don’t you think she’s overreacting?  We’re not supposed to  go anywhere that I’ve been with a former girlfriend?  I’m sure I’ll have a better time with her.  Do women really compare all of these things?

Signed,

No Repeats in Radisson

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BAD NEWS FOR LITTLE MONSTERS

Bad news for Lady Gaga fans: she's been forced to cancel the rest of the dates of her Born This Way Ball tour due to injury. Earlier this week, Gaga announced that she had to postpone shows in Chicago, Detroit and Hamilton, Ontario, because she was suffering from "severe inflammation of the joints" that was so painful that it rendered her unable to walk. On Wednesday night, the tour's promoter, Live Nation Global Touring, announced that after additional tests "to review the severity of the issue, it has been determined that Lady Gaga has a labral tear of the right hip.  She will need surgery to repair the problem, followed by strict downtime to recover.   This unfortunately, will force her to cancel the tour so she can heal." Ticket holders can get a refund at the point of purchase beginning Thursday. 

Gaga had 21 scheduled dates remaining on the North American leg of her Born This Way Ball tour, through March 20.
