THIS IS TRULY AWESOME
The Story...
A couple in GA got engaged and the guy went all out and is now being
recognized all over the U.S. for the love he has for his now fiancé.

When you watch this you will want to cry. This is one more reason for
not settling for less.

Imagine...thinking you are attending your brother's birthday party, just to find out your boyfriend has reserved ten (10) rooms @ the Ritz Carlton...Upon entering each room a special letter is being read by
someone special (in your circle of friends/family). Please take notice to the detail of each room, different color roses and some are laced in gold (breath taking). I'm not sure how long it took this young man to
prepare this surprise for her... But I'm very sure she was very pleased.

This is off the charts and very romantic. Robert is a graduate of Sout hern University (Q-dog) and is now an accountant with Home Depot at their corporate office in Atlanta . My understanding is that he
financially footed the bill for this weekend himself. It was not supplemented by his parents. I was told that he moved in with his sister for approx. 6mos. and saved the money to pay for the engagement ring and
all of the bells and whistles for this very special evening. A radio station in ATL was playing the song in the slide show and described what he had done and some men called in saying they had to step their game
up. It actually touched a few of them because they admitted they didn't respect women on the level that he respects her. Make sure you have speakers, because the song he chose is beautiful as well.

What a waste of money!

I imagine they will have a big expensive wedding then.....

Awww....if she appreciated the effort he made that's wonderful.



But I think it was a waste of money too!

this would not impress me in a positive way, if i were his GF

Barf puke gag.

I couldn't even watch the whole thing.

I'm sorry, but that's lame.
Why on earth someone in today's economy would waste that kind of money just to tell someone you want to marry them, is beyond me.

Imagine if she had said no.

You motherfuckers are harsh.

Whatever works for them.

I am too damn cheap and would have been pissed if someone wasted all of that money on me.

This was beautiful... when you say "settle for less" are you speaking of his character or his financial status. This young man seems to have great character.

Unfortunately I know too many women that rely too much on the romanticized ideas of what love should be (flowers, diamonds, pomp and circumstance), and look down on too many men that are more practical. Too many women measure the value of their man's love by the size of the rock he offers her as an engagement ring.

I am not a fish...shiny rocks and sparkly things don't attract me, it is better to put that money towards a new love nest and even better to pay it off quickly and not have a mortage hanging overs our heads.


Freedom from debt.... now that's romantic!

You know what, I appreciate this kind of dedication and love especially for this young couple...young black couple at that.

Because Goddmanmit, I'm far----far too jaded to do some shit like this!



Damn, I'll never love a woman this much again. Fuck! I'm jealous! Shit, love once like this and get jaded....your ass will be fucked up for life.

Oh. My. GOD. Unbelievable. That made my allergies act up, and now my eyes are all runny.

Butterfli, thank you for posting that!
