These look great!

Great job! How is everything with you? Hope everything's great!

This is a great help. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing! I downloaded the mini-phrase book and the folding instructions!

Any updates guys? Maybe with pictures?

I loved reading all of the posts! Whew, just finished all 77 pages! I also "borrowed" Nadika's signature! Hope that's okay, Nadika! I saw your quote and I fell in love with it so much! Here's my tentative list: 1) Some kind of travel mug 2) "Medicine" kit: a) chewable pepto-bismol tablets OFF wipes c) advil d) powdered gatorade mix e) mints / gum (whichever is cheaper) 3) Phone ziplock waterproof bags 4) 50 Waxations Citronella Outdoor Tealight Candles for $8.99 (one or two per bag) on Amazon! 5) Clorox Disinfecting Wipes Fresh Scent (24 packs of 9 sheets, $26.52 for 24 packs on Amazon!) 6) Itinerary / Schedule of Group Activities (this will also be emailed to them in a Google Doodle so we can see who wants to do what) 7) List of possible activities on and off-site (may combine with number 6?) 8) List of English-Spanish-Chinese basic phrases 9) Who's who guest list 10)Mosquito / bug repellant bracelets Possibles: 1) Lint Roller for $1 a piece? 2) Either Pashimas or Beach Dress Wraps (pashimas are $3.95 or $4.60 a piece, beach dress wraps are $3.30 or $2.523 a piece) 3) Powdered detergent in case they get a stain? 4) Powdered dish detergent to wash out the cups? 5) Canvas bags (have to see if I can personalize or not... want a good price, but I don't want them to bleed through) Any thoughts guys?

Hi, I wrote a long update but closed my laptop and it didn't save. ;o; Well, long story short he asked me to pick out a ring but we haven't yet. I'll try to keep you all updated if you care (probably even if you don't, lol)!

Hi guys! He did not pop the question. There was a moment when I thought he might be going to but he didn't, and I thought to myself "Thank God," because it wasn't a very romantic moment. Well, it's fine... that's what I keep telling myself. It'll happen when it happens. I'm afraid to ask my friend if the couple in question was us, so... It was 99.99% not us anyway, so... Guys it's fine... ;o;

Hi perianjay and Danielle1! Yes, it isn't inconspicuous - there is definitely that possibility that it isn't me. Danielle1, I am trying so hard not to get my hopes up. We leave August 1 so I am really counting the days until then... I'm going to try and enjoy the trip regardless... it shouldn't be too hard, I really enjoy going to Japan... That is so right what you said - I just have to remember that whatever he plans (be it in Japan or anywhere else) it will be special because it will be meaningful to both of us... I can't even really think about this... start second-guessing myself because he seems super calm. I will definitely have a great trip either way! I think this will be fine... either way I'll have a funny story to tell if it doesn't happen.

Hi calgarybride2015! I've read many a post of yours! Well, here's the thing: I don't use fb that often (in fact, she either messaged me or posted on my wall she was visiting NYC from Japan and I totally missed that message - a different time than the January trip). Actually, I just spoke with my sister and she said the exact same thing as you! She said, why would she do something like that?! But my sister said she hopes it is me, and also she cautioned me not to get my hopes up. So, the reason why I'm pretending like I don't know is because I think it'd actually be nice to be proposed to in Japan, but also because I'm so afraid that if 1) it is me and 2) I let anyone know (I've already sworn my sister to secrecy) that he will postpone proposing to me. I know, I know... I've waiting this long, I can wait a little longer... but guys! Guys! You know? Thank you so much for your well wishes! I will try to update on here after my trip (we get back on August 9th). By the way, can I just say the suggestions were not very exciting (although there was a helicopter ride one that looked really crazy). I have some good ideas but I don't want to share them with anyone in case they get back to him. I'd like this to be his own idea... Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself. Not sure if I used that emoticon properly. Ha ha!

Hi! I'm new to this forum but I've been lurking (as a guest) previously. So here's the story: We met on OKCupid - he messaged me for the first time February 8, 2012. Our anniversary is February 18 (that was our very first blind date). After many, many escapades and adventures, we are still together (so, over three years now). I lived in Japan for a goodly amount of time (not too long, not too short), and moved back to the US around August/Sept 2011. We went to Japan for a vacation Winter 2013-2014. We went to China for vacation Winter 2014-2015. Now we are going to Japan again in the summer (2015). The reason why I am so nervous is because my good friend who lives in Japan (she came to NYC in January 2015) posted on fb the following post: "Facebook friends, I implore your help! I need suggestions for a short (maybe 3 days?), romantic trip in Japan. I have a friend planning a proposal and he wants to do it while he and his girlfriend are here (in 2 weeks) ... Help?" (I put it in quotes). Now, I hope this isn't egotistical of me, but I think this might be my boyfriend!!! We are arriving in Japan in a little over two weeks, and our trip there is really, really short (like ten days). I don't know if this is being planned or not! I'm totally going crazy and I want to talk to my friends about it but I'm trying to keep cool and not tell anyone for two reasons: 1) this might not be me (although I really, really think it is!) 2) I don't want to ruin the surprise. But I had to share it with someone so I'm posting to this forum! This is really crazy guys!! I'm like, too excited and nervous.

Hi! I loved your planning thread... I'm a big Disney fan too (my partner not so much) and I wanted to share these Disney wedding/engagement rings with you. http://www.k-uno.co.jp/product/disney I especially love these: http://www.k-uno.co.jp/product/disney/mickey_minnie_mr Sadly, my partner said he doesn't want a Disney ring. But I thought I'd share with you so you could see them!
