Coachella Romances

[heyeric]

whats stupid is calling her mom and dad a few hours before while shitfaced.

[blueduck]

I want to propose to my g/f of nearly 10 years at Coachella! Probably next year since we will both have our lives a little more in order at that point. We both love Coachella so much that I think it would be the perfect place. Unless I do it this year while I'm shit faced with no ring lol

I'm planning the same thing.

[EndersRapture]

Yeah you gotta have a ring. It's so dumb when people propose without one, no matter what your intentions are lol. Coachella proposals would be awesome though.

she was violently throwing up. He went over to console her hoping he'd get a piece after she was through ("don't worry, it seems bad now but you'll get better. We've all been there before. I'm Bill"). She didn't respond and continued vomiting. He decided to try to touch her shoulder first to test out the touching ability. Right then her three sorority sisters came out of nowhere and gave him the death stare. "I'm Bill". ("What's goin on Tiff? You okay? Let's get you out of here.") before proceeding to pick her up and whisk her away.

Why is it dumb? Why do you need some thing to say what you've already said?

[Phunkevil]

Proposing without a ring is fucking hilarious/retarded.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Some people don't feel like they need engagement rings to symbolize their relationship. How funny it is so many people still today have bought into the diamond/jewelry industry's propaganda and continue it as if it were some kind of law.

I would like to know WHY it is retarded/dumb/stupid, because I'm confused why there needs to be some universal rule to how people conduct themselves.

Luckily this is a free country so you're free to break whatever cultural norms that you choose to. However, when breaking any norm/law there are consequences. In this case, the consequence is that people think you're retarded/dumb/stupid. Deal with it.

I've had this argument with a good friend before. He said that when/if he ever got married he doesn't want rings for the reasons you stated. My argument was that i like what rings symbolize. I don't need it to be a big fancy bling bling ring but i like the never ending circle symbolizing never ending love. ALSO. I'm not very much a fan of wedding bands + engagement rings. I prefer just one simple ring. But he still said that he didn't need something to show his love if he really wanted to marry someone. So i guess as long as both you and your partner are on the same page it really doesn't matter. If your girlfriend doesn't need a ring then go ahead and propose without it. Also, some girls like to pick out their own ring so they would prefer to be proposed without a ring just in case you get down on one knee and present her with the most hideous thing she has ever seen.

Oh and... my Dad doesn't wear a ring and my mom does. It's because my dad just doesn't like rings. They have been happily married for over 35 years and he proposed to her without a ring. All people are different.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Thanks. I personally don't feel very strongly either way. I'm just incredibly confused by the insanely vitriolic response. i didn't realize [people gave so much of a shit about such a trivial thing.

[amma_sol]

I would be upset if I never had a ring, but would not be upset if i was proposed to without one. And who am I to judge another persons relationship? If they don't want a ring then thats that.

A lot of people/cultures stand on ceremony to help them justify something they're truly afraid of, or, at least, unsure of.

It is not retarded/dumb/stupid. I wasn't given an engagement ring when we decided to get married (25 years ago...yikes!), nor did I expect one. My husband doesn't wear a ring and I only do sometimes. It's between the couple to decided I believe. Now, some people may have cultural customs, but that's a different topic altogether.

Exactly. These are the things people talk about (at least in my case) when they decide to take that step. "You're giving me a ring!" or something like that

[juloxx]

Can one hit on girls at Coachella without a ring?

[alpha_q_up]

last year i heard of a guy that wanted to purpose to his girlfriend at the rose garden that he met at coachella 3 years ago, sadly he couldnt get a tickets, most likely they're broken up and or crackheads because he didnt get a ticket

I heard of this guy too... only guy ever to purpose his chick for other purposes - he should have really proposed to her and get it over with!

You tell us that the only reason people wear rings is because they "have bought into the diamond/jewelry industry's propaganda" and then you wonder why people get angry in response? For some reason I had it in my head that you were smarter than that.

[weeklymix]

Tom will you be my Coachella Sweetheart?

[TomAz]

Get in line stud.

[baily]

can't wait for you to show up to her dad's place and announce your engagement to her mom and dad without a ring on her finger....

LOSER will be their first and last thought......

[trakball]

[hippityhip]

lol at societal limitations.

[cntstopwntstop]

I will, more than likely, be meeting my husband at Jeff Mangum... Or at least make a slam-dunk sex attack BIG TIME on the first boy that realizes how attractive sobbing out of amazement is.

You do a lot of work in the "what makes people crackheads industry" or what?

i like you.

My $0.02 is that personally, I wouldn't care if my partner proposed with or without a ring. Maybe if he was rollin in cash it would be a lil weird to propose without one, but if things were tight and he felt like he could put the money towards something better (a down-payment on a house is the outstanding example that comes to mind, or if we decided to use the money towards a nice honeymoon or something we could enjoy together), it would be 100% ok with me to just do a nice dinner and set a date :-). I do not need a piece of jewelry when I've already got his heart and his desire to spend the rest of our lives together.

I think you will meet your future husband at Coachella this year.
