My joke this year, although i usually do something cheesy at 4am to the rents, i decided to wait it out this year.
We had dinner for my dads birthday saturday and i invited the g/f. The new g/f of roughly 2 weeks (yes its going well, no thats not what the threads about) we were talking friday night and decided that we should play "Engaged" the next day.
So we went out Saturday and found a good fake ring (pretty nice actually) and she wore it to dinner, we didnt say anything but she made sure to flash it to mom and my sister and sister in law. Indeed they noticed. When the g/f went to the bathroom, mom and my brother went out to have a smoke and my sister and sister in law look at me like i'm crazy and ask "WTF is up with the ring, you have an announcement to make?!?!?!"
i say yes, but when the coffee comes.
Coffee comes, we're enjoying it, the conversation is currently on a family cruise being planned. I suggest we make it a celebratory cruise also. Mom looks at me all funny, i explain the engagement.
Everyone buys it, it was great.. Then mom figured out that it was the first. Whew.. good times. The g/f played it off beautifully and very calmly concidering she JUST met the family an hour before hand. Then we all went to grab drinks.
I think in two weeks we are going to tell mom the engagement is actually on because she is pregnant.
NO SHES NOT PREGERS.. haven't even slept with her yet.. we just wanna carry the joke on a little longer
what'd you do?
