How did you get proposed to? <3

When my husband proposed, it was a surprise and it was totally low key. Perfect for my personality. One night we were sitting on the couch in our comfy clothes and he looked at me and asked me if I would marry him. At first I thought he was joking because it was so casual, but he was serious He didn't even have a ring yet, but gave me a ring within a month of asking me.

methinks it will be on a cruise ship.

No big romantic story here. We talked about marriage off and on. One night we agreed on it and went to the jewelry store the next day. We've been married almost 14 years now.

We had talked often about "when we're married" but our 1-year-of-dating anniversary passed ringless. (We also decided we wouldn't get married/engaged before we'd known eachother for a year.)

One night I drove to his apartment. We sat on the couch and he said, "I have a surprise for you." He pulled out his guitar and played & sang a song for me - the same song I often sang to him whenever he was discouraged, frustrated, whatever. I thought, "Aww, that's sweet!" and had a big ol' sappy grin on my face. He wasn't done yet.

He said, "You always sing that song to me whenever I'm in a bad mood, and it's a great reminder that I'm not alone anymore. Here's something for you so that you'll never be alone again either. Will you marry me?" and pulled out the ring.

My first marriage there was no proposal. It got to the point we had been together so long we both agreed as a Christmas present to each other we would pay for a wedding. We got married on New Years Eve day. We were together a total of 10years. I still love him, we just grew apart.

I got married again last week. I knew the proposal was coming. My then boyfriend and his daughter proposed to me 1.5 years ago. They both came in with the ring and said "will you marry us?" It was so cute. We actually had to postpone our wedding ceremony because we had someone steal $7000 from us. Our wedding fund. Since we had the license, only good for 30 days, we got married at the courthouse and will plan a ceremony in March.

Thanksgiving day in 2009... We were all giving thanks around the table and when it was my now husband's turn he dropped down on one knee and thanked God for putting me into his life and proposed.

I probably have the most unique proposal story.

I knew my husband from church, but we had never really exchanged more than a "hi". After about a year of just knowing who the other was we started talking a bit more. God placed him on my heart and I soon had feelings for him, but never said anything to anyone (except my mom). After being causal friends for about a year (we never did anything more than speak at church and occasionally text) my dad came home from a coffee date. My mom the whole time wouldn't tell me who my dad was meeting.

When dad came home he asked me to sit down and had his You-Are-In-Big-Trouble face on. I was racking my brain trying to figure out what I had done. He sat me down and said "I just met with Elijah ***** and he asked for your hand in marriage." I was so shocked that I just blurted out "Seriously? REALLY?!?" And My dad said "Yeah....but I told him I didn't even know if you liked him." I of course was like "You said WHAT?!?" and my mom the whole time is laughing cause she knew I liked him but had kept it a secret.

My dad decided to make him wait 3 days for our answer so we had time to pray about it. But I knew from the beginning that my answer was "YES!". After the 3 days he came to my house early in the morning to work. His dad owns a construction company and they where doing our house remodel at the time. I had to be at work and was so worried about being late, but I couldn't leave till he popped the question! My mom kept telling me "They will understand at work! It isn't everyday you get engaged!" So I waited nervously in our kitchen.

FINALLY he came in and I could tell he was so nervous. He walked over to our kitchen counter and without looking at me said "Uh so uh I uh wanted to uh ask you if I could uh ....well....uh....court you." and I said "What does that mean?" And he looked shocked like he hadn't thought about that and said "Well we would get married." So I asked, "Does this mean we are engaged?" To which he replied "Yes, we are engaged." And then he FINALLY looked at me and smiled and blushed. I smiled and giggled and then we hugged. I left for work and he went back to work.

The next day our families went to dinner to celebrate and in front of everyone he told me he felt bad for the way he proposed and so he got down on his knee and asked me to be his bride!

We where engaged for 6 months and have been happily married for 2 1/2 years! I found out later that he had been praying about me being his wife for 6 months before he asked my dad. And no we never had "dated" :happy:

My first husband- He was in the military and had been overseas for 8 months in Iraq. We talked about getting married when he got back and agreed we would. I told him that even though I basically had already said yes I wanted him to still propose. I flew to New York where he was stationed as soon as he got home. I knew he was going to propose but didn't know how he would do it. He reserved the entire upstairs of a 2 story restaurant that was in our hotel. He gave me red roses and spread rose petals all over the table. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him while crying. I said yes. I flew back home and then drove to New York to marry him (in a courthouse) and live there a week later. (We have been divorced 3+ years)

My current boyfriend and I have talked about getting married and we have been together for 2 and a half years. I know it will probably happen within the next 6 months or so but don't know when or how and I am really excited. I know this will be the RIGHT person this time

We were going up to see my parent's who were having a little family picnic over the summer. This was also the 1st time my parents were going to meet his - they were following us up. Since it was a picnic, it was super casual - just burgers and beers. I remember saying to him on the way up "I feel a little weird about the intros - I mean we're not even engaged!" He gave me the "STFU" look, haha!

Whole family's there - extended and immediate keep in mind - he is the silent but tough type - not one to begin a conversation or really add too much - just listens he stands up and says "I have something I'd like to say" at this point he's shaking like a leaf .... confusion is on all our faces and he continues "as most of you know, Samantha and I have been together for about 3 years now..." **insert red face, shaking and his hand awkwardly on top of my head** " I have a question I need to ask her"..... gets down on one knee - displays ring and says "you know the question"...........my response "STFU!!!!" So officially we never got engaged since he didn't ask and I never accepted. :bigsmile:

We went to the riverwalk in San Antonio, one of my favorite places, and he took me and a couple friends to the Irish piano bar (Dirty Nelly's) and had the guy play groovy kind of love and he got down on one knee. short and sweet. And we got talked about all night, it was great. I knew it was coming, but my husband is the romantic type and I'm not really, we were going to Florida the following week and him being ex navy loves the ocean, so I figured that's when it was going to happen, so he surprised me a week early and leaned more towards my taste.

We had taken our first international trip together to Peru and we were in Machu Picchu. His late mother had traveled there by herself a number of tears before and my husband wanted pictures of him standing in the same place and in the same pose, so we had trekked all over the area with her pictures as a guide, trying to find the right spots. After hours of this, in high altitude, we were both exhausted and laid down on one of the terraces overlooking the area. I was laying on his lap and he held my hand, squeezed it, slipped the ring on, and popped the question. I was so surprised and burst into tears of joy. It made for some really awesome engagement pictures!

Actually at the time I lived in Canada and my husband drove 1200 miles from the USA to where I was in the middle of winter on Valentine's weekend and asked me to marry him on Valentines day which was 3 days away, he almost slipped on black ice when he did it but off we went, and we are coming up on 7yrs in 2012 with many more to come I am sure :flowerforyou:

He made me a mixed cd of my favorite songs and then added a track of him talking. It was a poem he wrote for me and at the end he asked me to marry him. Too bad our marriage didn't last.

Once in my front yard.
Once at Thanksgiving dinner.
Neither resulted in a marriage, thankfully.

How did your significant other propose to you? Were you surprised or did you see it coming? Lets hear your stories! I keep trying to guess how my boyfriend will be doing it, haha.

I am obsessed with elephants. My honey took me to the zoo on New Year's Eve. We walked through all the exhibits, and he took me back to the elephant exhibit at the end because he knows how much I love them. While I was watching the baby elephants play I heard him call my name. I turned around and he was holding the ring. He got down on his knee and proposed. People came out and cheered when they saw we had just gotten engaged.

Then the zoo keeper came up to the window with an elephant, knocked on it and pointed us to the door. He let us in to play with the elephants! The baby slobbered all over my new ring with his cute nose, and I was in heaven, lol. And he brought a camera so I got tons of pictures!

It was amazing.

No matter how your boyfriend does it, it's going to be the best day ever (until your wedding). Enjoy the build up! It will be worth it!

Me and hubby always ate chinese food. I'm talking like once a week (sometimes every other week). So I was in the shower and he had gone out to get our chinese food. I came downstairs and ate dinner with him at the kitchen table. After dinner I got up and went to go dry my hair. Hubby said, " You didn't open your fortune cookie." I always opened them, read the fortune and he would eat it. (They taste funny to me haha). So, I said, "Oh yeah!", came back, opened it, read the fortune that asked, "Will you marry me?" He hand wrote it on there and glued the fortune cookie back together. HOW CUTE!? So I kept say shut up shut up! LOL and then said YES! After hugging and kissing, he said, "Well, now you have to get the ring." I said, "I thought that was your job!!!!!!!!" He replied with, "Look in the Fortune Cookie...." :embarassed: Stupid Me! HAHA leave it to me to ruin the moment...

My BF was in Basic training. I got a letter with a heart drawn on it and a hangmen puzzle. _ _ _ _ _ _ _? I personally thought it was super fantastic.

When my fiancé finally decided it was time to give me his late grandmother's ring he got way too excited and called me on the phone and proposed. When he got home I made him get down on his knee and do it "properly."
