Anyone have any stories about the worst wedding proposal??? Heres mine!!!


Went to a local bar with my soon-to-be-fiance and two of his male friends. It was right after 9/11 and he told me that the local post office had an anthrax scare, and he wanted me to have some Levaquin (the anti-anthrax drug). He handed me a vile while his friends (who knew about it) watched. I opened it, and my diamond engagement ring was in there. He didn't even get on his friggin knee.
He swears hes going to make it up to me.... but I doubt it.

    That made me laugh only because Im sure he thought it was gonna ROCK!
  • I dated my husband the first time when I was 14 ( we are 4 years apart ) and then again when I was 16... anyways so now im 16 He worked out of town and he was in town for the weekend so I met with him at the hotel room he was staying at (Dec 23 rd) .. there was a present sitting ontop of tv so I figured it was my Christmas present. We chit chatted for a bit and he told me that he was gonna go to the bar for a bit with his friends and I was kinda bummed out because I hadn't seen him in two weeks but what ever I wasnt old enough to get in yet anyway. He eventually said well arent you gonna open your present? So i went to the T.V opened it ( He was just sitting at the table in room ) and it was a ring... I thought awww how nice. All he said to me was " So now will you marry me?" He didnt get down on one knee or anything just sat in his stupid chair .. then he left an hour later to the bar with his friends. We got married two years later when I turned 18 and have been married for 15 years, together for 17 and 2 pretty successful boys one who will be 16 soon and has been gone since last August he was accepted to a Baseball Academy 14 hours away from home and the other 13 who wants to follow in his brothers footsteps. SO for those of you who say that young couples dont last.. It CAN happen there are ALOT of bumps big ones but when its ment to be you get through them! He told me when I was 14 that he was gonna marry me one day and I guess he was right.

    P.S He sucks at weight loss support though!

    My propoasal was pathetic. My boyfriend looked at me and said "well, what do you think should we get married?" No ring, no knee, no kiss, no nothing. Looking back I should have said "No Way" but I was young and thought I was in love. :brokenheart:

    My dad proposed to my mum when they were crossing the road, saying "I suppose we should get married then..."
    So unromantic.

    Much cuter, my boyfriends dad saw his mum across a station when he was with a mutual friend, pointed at her and said "I'll marry her one day."

    OH..mine is a good one..

    I knew my s2bx for about a month. I had to go out to California for my job and we decided to go out to Vegas for a few days. So we went and I got kind of drunk. He kind of asked me to marry him and we did it.

    Biggest mistake of my life. Seven years it took me to decide that I had enough. I tried to work it out with him but he refused to grow up.

    A friend of mine had a bad one... she and her boyfriend were having a huge fight and quit talking for a while. They settled down to give each other the cold shoulder, each watching different movies in different rooms. Her boyfriend called down the hall to get him a bag of chips, and she lost her temper and stomped in to give him a piece of her mind. Before she could open her mouth, though, he shoved a box into her hand, saying "This wasn't quite what I had in mind but here..." It was an engagement ring. She said no and handed the box back. He took out the ring and threw it at her... and then tried to take her to court when she sold it!
  • Mine is the worst by far, because it lasted months.

    I got pregnant, it took about 2 minutes for us both to say, "let's get married."

    I asked nicely if there could be a legitimate proposal at some point before the quickie wedding.

    About 2 months later, while in the hospital for a fever of 105 degrees and a severe kidney infection, I got a half-assed drunken proposal from him, while I was lying there with greasy hair and tubes everywhere. I told him that didn't count as a proposal.

    Fast forward a month and a half, married for 2 weeks and it's Christmas. He had a brilliant idea to get me a ring for Christmas and put it in a pair of crotchless panties with a little pocket in the front. He couldn't afford the ring, so he still gave me the crotchless underwear though, I was 7 months pregnant and that was my only gift.

    Yeah, yeah, I know, I married the guy. He was never quite good at the gift giving thing, although this year he gave me (from the kids of course) the most awesome pair of running pants EVER. I wear them all the time.

    Just the laugh I needed to head back to work! Thanks!

    "Do you want to get married, or what?" No ring.

    My dog had bloated and was in the hospital, he'd gone through a five hour surgery because of complications. I was a mess and was heading over to visit him. Was on the computer checking care instructions when my now-hubby walked in, got on one knee, opened the ring box and said what amounted to "will you join the club of marriage with me?" in Russian. He used google translator instead of asking my parents to teach him the words. I asked him to repeat in English just to be sure, said yes, put the ring on and we went to visit rocky at the vet.

    Not the worst proposal but perhaps some of the sexiest attire...

    In the pissing-down rain, we were wearing heavy black trash bags on our legs that were duct-taped to our knees when he asked me.

    O em gee!!! I am cracking up right now? Worst timing ever!!

    I was on a humanitarian trip to an African orphanage once and as I'm crying and sad because it's the last day, my past ex-bf of 3 years asked me to go out with him. I was PISSED that he asked me when I was so sad! I can't imagine being asked to get married during such a sad time. lolol!!!

    Mine bought the ring, and had all this romance planned. He was going to take me to the ocean for the first time, and while we were crossing the ocean in the ferry, he was going to propose. He told everyone in my life he was going to propose, either at the ocean, or during our summer vacation at my sister's house...but he couldn't wait that long. He bought the ring, hid it in the winter tires in our basement, and went to check on it every 5 minutes. The little boy in him couldn't wait any longer, so while I was a mess from doing house work, folding laundry and the child was outside, he decided to pick a fight. He said "what would you do if i had a ring right now and said marry me"...i snapped out and said that it didn't matter because he didn't have a ring and I wanted to get engaged after we buy a house...he went stomping downstairs, came back up with the ring, got down on one knee and proposed...I cried, called everyone I could think of, but they already knew. Guess it's not the worst proposal ever...it's still a good story lol turns out I was right, and we're buy a house and having a 4 year engagement lol

    Excellence does not account for preparation

    I swear to God I could have written this. I was living in Cali, dating my ex for about 2 months. We were going to Vegas with some friends. He asks if I want to get married while we are there (took a whole 1 min break from World of Warcraft to say it). Worst mistake ever. Also refused to grow up!
    That is so similar its scary!

    drunk on tequilla in a bar parking lot on my birthday. My friends asked him if he was going to pop the question, as i had been suspecting. he told them yes and they begged him to do it that night. He later made a snide comment about taking my gift back when I said "go ahead" he then said it was in the car....me, again drunk on tequilla, runs out of the bar to the car, into it and found the ring before he could catch up to me....i said yes, before he even asked....should have known that marriage would end like *kitten* lol.

    I'm so sorry that happened to you I worry my boyfriend will do something lame...I think in his mind you're boyfriend believed it was a good idea. He tried and I'm sure it was entertaining for them, but guys just don't seem to get it sometimes lol. I hope he figures out a new ROMANTIC way to ask you! <3

    I actually said, "So, are we going to get married?" while driving home from his parents' house. Haha. We did go pick out a ring together the next day, though. And my mom had bought one that she thought I would like (to help him out...he needs help with those kinds of things, haha). So...I got two rings out of the deal, and now I'm happily married regardless of the proposal. Win win.

    That's the funniest thing I've read in the last hour! Nothing says romance like sticking the ring in a vile and pretending it's an anti-anthrax drug!

    Asked me over the phone....no ring I ended up buying my own engagement ring and our wedding bands.....um did I say that we are divorced and that's my ex husband...

    On the other hand my husband asked me on a walk on the beach in the rain (not pouring, I always wanted to kiss in the rain:) )

    Not really worse, just not what he wanted it to be. Hubs took out a loan to pay for the ring; we were already sharing an account. The bank accidentally deposited it into the main checking account. They caught it within 15 minutes, but I'll be dam*ed if I didn't log into the checking account at the right moment. That evening he said we were taking a weekend, and mom was watching the step son. Duh... lol. We got to the beach, and he was absolutely eager to get down to the water, where he's normally a "take my time" kinda guy. Double Duh. To this day he still doesn't know that I knew. :-) He's devastated when a surprise is ruined. In fact, I just had to turn off my posting settings so he wouldn't see this on my wall here. LOL
