How did you get proposed to?

i wish I had a story to tell.


guess im going to be forever alone. :sad:

















im kidding. but seriously soo many weddings in 2013. I'm a little bit jealous.

I proposed on valentines day at A&M's academic building overlooking the bonfire memorial and main...

In Carlsbad Caverns. I told him it was my favorite place and he never forgot. My ring is extremely unique, too. It's a taaffeite stone.

My fiance's best friend called me up while me (and my now fiance) where at the mall. his friend (Jayda) told me my boyfiend (now fiance) is engaged and the girl is a the mall right now. i FLIPPED OUT crying yelling and asking him what the hell was going on! then he got down on one knee and said the girl at the mall is you. then my jaw dropped and i was crying n laughing and telling Jayda and my fiance if they ever do that again im kicking there *kitten* lol

branson landing in missouri during the fire show on our 4 year annivesry and live band, he snuck on my phone and set an alarm to go off with a message and pic to pop up asking me, it was so perfect!!

We had been together for 6 years, 2 of those we lived together...so we knew we would get married...eventually. We had looked at rings...knew what we wanted....but he really wanted to get me a specific ring, diamond etc. With years of family stressors and drama, it just never happened...

Then one weekend we had looked at some rings while waiting for a jewelry repair...and we found this gorgeous band...and he was floored with how unique it was.

We left the store...

A week later after a really crappy work day, we were in our bedroom and he told me he got me something I've always wanted and hope it would make me happy. It was a pair of those Happy Feet slippers, that look like big puffy sneakers...I put one on and went to put my foot in the other and my toes hit the box..

He got on one knee and said all sorts of loving things that I honestly don't recall cuz I was so surprised...but it was perfect for us. lol and we opened our door and our roommate was standing in the hall jumping and clapping his hands..."FINALLY! YIPPY!"

He was in the Army and was home on leave for a few weeks from Korea. It was our two year anniversary so we decided to go to an upscale hotel nearby to get away for the weekend. That night, we got dressed up all nice to have dinner at a fancy restaurant. Afterwards, he drove me to the beach. We walked out to the sand, then he turned to me, and he said, "Do you love me?" I said, "Of course." Then, there he went down on one knee and popped the question! It was simple and perfect.

She started a thread on MFP asking how people got proposed to. Then she private messaged me "Will you marry me?"

Text message. He was in England, I was in Russia, we were apart at Christmas, it was sodding cold and wet and we were both fed up and missing each other. We were sending huge love letters to each other by SMS and suddenly we were talking about marriage. It was unexpected and lovely! We had a wonderful reunion at New Year which is one of my most treasured memories

At the center point of the Golden Gate Bridge, on a beautiful summer evening, just as the sun was setting (and there were pelicans flying by). We were dancing down the bridge together, then stopped and I was in his arms and the moment was perfect. He asked me and I said yes, then we jumped and danced down the bridge some more. That was 12.5 years ago.

My story isn't so much where but the timing. I had been on a trip with my family for 2 long weeks visiting my grandma and uncle across the country. Anyways, he proposed to me the night I got back. His mom told me later he missed me and had a hard time while I was gone. We have been married for 19 years now.

The other question How we met? We were a blind date, a fix up by mutual friends.

I agree, I like reading "how we met" stories too.

DH and I met at work. He bought my ring 2 weeks before christmas, had it wrapped in the jewelry store wrapping paper, and put it under the tree. The big jerk! LOL Once I opened it, it's an unconventional engagement ring (a diamond anniversary band), so he said "I want to get you something bigger, but I wanted you to know that I want to marry you". Well my "something bigger" was us signing on our house 5 days later!!

I still tease him that I never made him actually get down on 1 knee or even actually ASK me! :grumble:

He called me on the way to work that morning to say that he had just won a competition on the radio to potentially win tickets to our college football team's opening game. We just had to compete against 4 other couples on a scavenger hunt throughout the city. I met him at the radio station and they gave us our first clue, which led us to a bakery for the next, and then to the zoo, etc. At the end, we ran across a fake "finish line" and we were searching high and low for the tickets. He got down on his knees and I thought he had found them when he pulled out the ring. He had set everything up with around 6 different businesses and the radio station to pretend they were participating in the scavenger hunt.

AWWWW! This one is so cute!

I was vehemently against getting married. Never wanted it to happen.

I met my boyfriend in high school. We were friends when I was a Freshman and he was a Junior. Sophomore year, we had a class together. He graduated and I thought we'd never see each other again. Junior year at work, he came through the drive-thru with a friend. We hit it off again as friends and then I spent the night and well...it was history. We dated for 2 years. At a certain point in the heat of a moment, I said "I think I want to marry you." We talked it out as giddy kids do, but it never became a thought of reality.

I got really sick after Senior year was over. We were living with each other at my dad's at this point. He hated seeing me in so much pain....so he sat me down, looked me straight in the eye and said, "We need to get married." For the health benefits.

November 5th 2009, we made it court house official.

We've been married for 3 years and we'll have been together for 5 years in December. Despite the weird beginnings of our marriage and all of the crazy stuff we've been through, we are very very happy.

I love reading these! I'm such a hopeless romantic. Sigh. Maybe one day I can post my story...

You can start by posting a picture of your face, then maybe you will find love on mfp.

Do you really think it can happen for me? Really, really?

Anything is possible.
