My son called me a month ago to ask for my advice on proposing to his girl friend. We talked about a number of things including how he would ask her father for permission.

One of his big issues is that he wanted to ask his perspective FIL face to face despite the fact that they live several hours apart and his GF would sort of notice that he was gone all day. I told him that it would be fine to simply call on the phone. Another suggestion was to join them in San Diego. Their family was planning on being at the other daughter's for Easter to see the new grand daughter.

One of the things my son was waiting on was for the ring to be set. Every once in a while I would send him a text and suggest things he could consider doing for the proposal. I was asked not to tell anyone until he was ready to make an announcement. It was really really difficult not to say something. I came really close a few times to telling my wife but I enjoyed the confidence my son placed in me so I kept quiet.

Yesterday morning he sent me a photo of the ring and said he still didn't have a plan. I sent him back a few words of encouragement and support At least I think they were.

Last night he called my wife and asked her to put on the speaker phone mode. I knew what that meant.
He had just proposed and she had said yes. It was a fun conversation as we told the ladies about our on going month long chats. Once I even told him to be careful if he calls me on the phone as it would be possible that his mother would be right there too.

They still have lot of plans to make but it is looking like a summer of 2016 wedding. That should go well with my daughter's wedding this summer.

Great news, now the best man will need a toast for the Wedding .
I suggest the one offered in the John Wayne movie , "The Quiet Man". I don't recall it all myself, but I sure that it can be looked up .

Offer to help the Brides Father out a bit , perhaps some liquor for the reception, a friendly gesture that should be gladly received.

My daughter is getting married this coming August.
Thankfully I'm not involved in the planning like my daughter and my wife are.
One very smart thing my daughter did was hire a wedding planner a year in advance, that takes alot of the pressure off.
All I have to know is when, where and how much.
