How did you get proposed to?

Elizabeth_C34

In light of our own recent beautiful proposal on the forums, I got curious how everyone got proposed to (or proposed) by your fiance/spouse?

My husband is a usually shy guy who doesn't talk much about his feelings. He's very affectionate and loving though. One day, I was making dinner (spaghetti with meat sauce) in our apartment, and he came up to me and simply said, "hey... you wanna go shop for diamonds?" I said, "Well, yeah." So I finished dinner, packed it up in the fridge (no time to eat), and we went and shopped for diamonds. He made me try on every ring in the store then go to another store the next day. Eventually, we came back to the first ring that I really loved, and he got it for me, slipped it on my finger right there at the store, and that was it!

He packed a picnic supper and we went to the park. We ate our picnic by a lake. He proposed to me as the sun set.

my husband actually proposed to me b4 we even met in person (had chatted on phone, net and snail mail for about 6 months)
so once I moved in with him, I told him the over the phone proposal wasn't valid ..so he got down on his knee and asked 1 yr and 6 months later, we finally got married (been together 12 years 8 months, married 11 years 2 months)

We had a proposal on here? I missed that.
Beau put a ring on our pillow. I found it.

It was after getting home from work one night...late at night....and he proposed with a ring pop! I thought it was so funny (I know some people wouldn't think so though) I got to go help pick out my ring, which I liked.

Liz, that's wicked cute . so simple, but organic. if I ever trick anyone into marriage, I will do the proposing. or he will have to be very sneaky and do something book-related or message-in-a-bottle-esque to counteract my potentially incredible idea.

We were staying at a hotel on the beach in Mexico. I had the staff set up one table with wine, candles, and flowers one night on the beach and asked her.

We were on vacation with his family in Ocean City, MD. One morning we woke up and went out to Assaeague Island. We walked along the beach, saw some wild horses. We were the only ones around and he suddenly got down on one knee and pulled the ring out of his pocket and asked.

He took me into Times square because I'm a southern girl who had never seen anything as big and bright as NYC before. We wen't into for dinner and to walk around. We were right in the middle of Times Square on New Years Eve, I was looking around and got distracted when I turned around to look for hubby he was on one knee behind me. It was the best thing ever, Everyone started clapping and yelling. It was exciting and defiantly something I will never forget. It's been 5 years (:

It was very "us." We are both really laidback people.

He was playing blocks with our son (then 1 year and a half).. He called me into the room and had spelled out " Will u marry me" with the blocks..

(there was only one "y" so he had to spell "you" ,"u"

my partner brought me to a forest where we first met, on our anniversary to drink some beers. it was december 21st, snowy, and my heels were sinking (i didn't know we were going to a forest after dinner!). he told me to close my eyes and kept telling me how beautiful i was, so i knew it was coming! i could see flickering lights through my eyes and when he said open them i could see the ring box with led lights in it. one knee in the snow. love him! i said yes over and over and over again.

It might sound lame, but it was on SKype.

We've been separated in different countries due to financial and visa issues. We've known that we wanted to get married for a while and he was meant to come see me and our daughter in Janurary, but the US wouldn't let him through the Canadian border (he was flying through Canadia from the UK). So he was stuck in Canada for a while and when he went back, he went on SKype and proposed to me there because he said he couldn't wait any longer.

I love these stories. I ask everyone i know this question.

My fiance told me to pack a bag, we were going away for the night ( he does that once in awhile). He took me to a nice bed and breakfast a few hours away. A fancy 4 course meal was included with the night and we ended up being the only guests that night. We got all dressed up and had an amazing dinner. He was so calm I really didnt suspect anything. When we were getting up from the table, I turned to leave. He said "I forgot something". When I turned around, he was down on one knee, with a ring box. I didnt even know what to say. I remember laughing and hugging him. When we walked out of the restaurant owner asked if I had said yes. I was like " i don't think I did". We are getting married in September.

It was pretty amazing My now-hubby packed a gourmet picnic and we went to the top of a cliff overlooking the ocean at sunset. He got down on one knee to propose BTW... it was very romantic!

My husband of 5 years this Saturday, proposed to me with a fake ring out of the gumball machine. He made up this story how that's all he could afford and such. Then, he pulled out the real ring, and I said Yes. I still have that fake ring too.

Whoops, edited to say, I'm on my husbands account! LOL I didn't realize he didnt log out. hehe

It was an arranged marriage to the landlord's son. We can't talk about it, but I just know he's mine.

Disney world!! I'm obsessed with Disney and we went there on vacation and our second night there we walked over to cinderellas wishing well and he got down on one knee. A few minutes later they started their fireworks show. It was perfect!

Wow! Too bad you are already married! She is a lucky girl!

We had just finished with the hanky-panky and he left the room. He came back a moment later with one of those shiney pokeballs that you used to be able to get at Burger King.

He slid into the bed next to me and popped it open. Inside was a simple gold band ( I hate fancy jewelry). He then smiled and said "I Choose You.....to be my Wife!!"

My husband proposed on Christmas Eve 2009. We went to Church and he downed a few beers beforehand which I thought was strange but a proposal was the last thing from my mind so I didn't really think much of it. After church the whole family was over and the tradition is everyone gets to open one gift.

He had fooled me into thinking he had gotten us tickets for a vacation somewhere so that's 100% what I was suspecting. I was last to open my gift and I opened a gift bag in front of my entire family and inside was a medium sized decorated box that said "The very best vacation" inside that was a smaller box that said "I could ever take" and inside that was an envelope that said "would be with you" and then inside the envelope (I'm still thinking they were tickets) was a piece of paper that said "forever" and the ring was taped to it. CUE INSTANT WATERWORKS!!!

During the fireworks they do at Disney's Magic Kingdom at the end of the night. It was great. ♥

Yeah. Mine was something like "So you're knocked up! You going to marry me now?"

We started out planning a practicle joke on a friend (she is very old fashion). We went a bought rings and were going to go to Vegas and get our picture taken in front of one of those drive thru chapels. When we got home from the store I was doing some chores and I turn around and he is down on one knee. He said there was no practicle joke, but he wanted to spend the rest of our lives laughing together. The entire time I really thought we were going to play a joke on our friend since we are both big practicle jokers. Now looking back I wouldn't have planned it any better! We just celebrated our first year of marrage on May 28 this year and I can't wait for many more years to come.

My husband waited until 12:01 on Christmas day, sat beside me where I laid in bed, told me how much he loved me and pulled out the box. Of course I cried and of course I said yes when he asked me to marry him. It'll be 8 years married this Tuesday and 10 years together total. I've never been happier, especially because we're both doing this whole get-fit-lose-weight-build-muscle thing together. We're going kayaking for the first time this Saturday!!

Oh, and congrats, 34!!

We'd been ring shopping, so that was no surprise. The surprise was that he waited until I was sick with a fever of 102 and could barely crawl from the couch to the bed. He got down on one knee, said that marriage was for better or worse, in sickness and in health and pulled the ring out. I picked the least wavy of the three men in front of me, said yes to him, and collapsed into a flu coma.

I feel so cheated...lol! He didn't actually propose. We had been together for three years and had talked about marriage often. So, around valentines day, we went looking for rings. Got one specially ordered and had it shipped to me, so when I got the mail it was there. ......lol then, he asked me if I would marry him.

So full of win.
