How did you get proposed to? <3

We ere laying on my bed he looked over and said wanna get married

Exactly the same senario except he said "so, are we getting married then?" This was after 9 1/2 years together - been together nearly 17 years now and have two children.

We were necking :blushing: he wrapped his arms around me , breathed me in deeply and said "Oh, I want to marry you!" .. very sweet and romantic

We were up at his snowmobile camp sitting around a fire - he had been away and brought me back a "novelty" gift.
It was a wallet that said (blah blah blah's) wife. I was like thanks - cute. We sat around the fire a while longer....finally he was like "aren't you going to look inside the wallet?"... me "what for?"

The ring was inside

The Cure was going to be in Houston Texas 3 days after my birthday. So my boyfriend (now husband) says to me "Hey! We should get married and then for our honeymoon go to Houston to see The Cure!" LOL.. I said.. OK!

LOL

My fiance and I have been together for 4 and a half years and will be engaged for 1 year this December 3! (We have a kind of a long engagement which is perfect for us).. our wedding is July 14, 2012!

I knew it was coming, he told me it was, but wouldn't give any hints when. I thought for sure it would happen Thanksgiving of last year and when it didn't happen I cried in the bathroom alone lol .. got my hopes up.
Then pretty much a week later, he asked me out to dinner... so we went out to dinner (I was like OMG OMG OMG THIS IS IT the whole time haha) but our waitress was SO slow that we were at the restaurant for 2 and a half hours and by the time we got home it was after 10 and I was like, it's not happening tonight. He said he was going to take the dog out (we were living in our old apartment) so I made myself comfy on the bed and just vegged out (food coma haha). I heard him come back in and our dog RAN into the room and jumped on the bed so I went to pet him and then realized the damn ring was HANGING ON A RIBBON ON THE DOG'S COLLAR. I died haha It was the cutest thing ever and our dog was so excited (he def knew something was up!) Dan had come in the room at that point and asked me. The ring fell off the ribbon (the dog was so excited he kept jumping around) but we found it on the bed and he put it on my finger! I was so excited, it was almost 11 and we knew both our parents would be sleeping but we called them anyway haha

Can't believe its been almost a YEAR already! haha

Mine is coming.. I know he has the ring... I'm so nervous and I'm trying not to have expectations.. he's not good at this stuff.

i totally can relate. i was afraid he'd blow the surprise and i'd figure it out. he's not good at being sneaky or planning out anything extravagant. i told him i never dreamed of a perfect wedding, but i did dream of a proposal i could tell people about for years. so ...

one night we were sitting on the couch watching tv. he gets up and heads to the bedroom saying he'll be right back. i IMMEDIATELY think "he's going to propose!" and then am upset that i figured it out. when he came out of the bedroom he had a weird look on his face but just sat down beside me. meanwhile, i have my laptop on my lap and he leans over and asks me if we can look up fourwheelers on google. i automatically forget about him proposing because i got angry. he had been BEGGING me for years to get a fourwheeler. he knows that if i had the money, i'd buy him whatever he wanted. but we don't have the money, so i had asked him a little while ago if we could stop looking at them, because he knew we couldn't get one and it made me feel bad. So when he asks this, i got really irritated, but typed in the make and model he asked for. This brought up a ton of pictures, and he had me scroll through them, and i'm just irritated and not really looking at them. He says "no, no... those aren't the ones i was thinking of... try this.." and spits out some more makes and models. Again, i didn't say anything but typed it in, not paying attention to him or whatever comes up on the screen... i'm just so irritated!!! He says that the pictures that came up weren't what he was looking for either, so I just said to spit out whatever the heck he is thinking of so i can google search it and get it over with!!!! He goes "try ... will you marry me" .... I start typing, and get to "Will you Ma..." and it hit me!!! I looked over and he got down on one knee and held out the ring!!

The sneaky little guy figured out the ONLY way that I wouldn't have guessed he was going to propose, by making me mad first!! I have to give him props ... he succeeded in surprising me!!

We took a trip to the Boardwalk with my bestie and her bf. We had lunch and split up to go shopping. I was trying on clothes when Grant called me saying that it was fixing to rain and he needed me to come see this waterfall he found. So, after begging him to just give me a few more minutes (haha) he came into the store and was begging me to hurry up and get out of the dressing room. Everyone knew but me. Grant put him arm around me to rush me and we ended up at the waterfall on a bridge. He's like "Oh, this is awesome isn't it?" Yea sweetheart... it's a waterfall pond. My mom has one. lol Then he said "Hey baby, you do love me right?" while reaching into his back pocket and getting the ring out. I said, "Well duh!" and then he got on one knee and said, "Well, I love you more than anything. Please marry me." I FREAKED OUT! You should see the pictures his friend took of us. I jumped back at least 3 feet then tackled him. I didn't give him an answer because I didn't have too. Yea... It was perfect for me. He got the ring I had picked out but said I didn't like because of a few things... so he found a guy and got it handmade! My hubbie is awesome!!!

My cousin came to Oregon for his honeymoon. He and his new wife had a room at Timberline Lodge. It was February and snowing like h*ll, so he couldn't get down the mountain. Jan and I went up to meet him. Ended up staying the night in their room. It was me and Jan's second date.

After dinner, I suggested to Jan that we go down to my VW Camper Van and give the newlyweds some time alone. Got in the van, popped the top, got the heater going, pulled out a bottle of champagne. After a couple glasses of champagne and a little osculatory interlude, I slipped off the seat to the floor of the van, dropped to one knee and proposed.

2 days after christmas we went for a walk in the snow at night time, i fell down and when he puled me back up he put the ring on my finger. i knew it was coming .

we are now divorced

My husband and I dated for 5 years (college and beyond) before we got married. I was expecting a Christmas proposal because that is what we had discussed. I came home from work on my birthday (in July) to find music and candles and roses and he dropped to one knee and proposed ...and I laughed. He didn't have a ring because the jeweler didn't have the stone set in time but he still wanted to follow through with the plan...I thought he was joking. After he got me to focus and realize it was real I of course said yes. We've been married over 12 years. I still hear about how he tried to be romantic and I laughed at him!

Every Christmas we play the "I got you a better present than you got me game." December 23, 2008 we were again playing this game and he goes "fine, let's do presents now." So we did. He opened his presents first and was all excited because I got him a Mario theme DS as well as tone of Mario Bros. game figures (yeah, we're nerds). So then he gives me my presents. He hands me an empty basket and then proceeds to hand me bottles of lotion and shwer gel from Bath & Body Works one at a time. By the end I'm thinking "really, THIS is better than what I got HIM." So I'm sitting there for a minute going through all this stuff and smelling them all and he pulls a ring box out of his pocket and says "oh yeah, I got you this too" and hands it to me. I wasn't sure if it was intended as an engagement ring or not because this was the 3rd diamond ring he had gotten me (we'd been together for 10 years when we got engaged). I'm a ring junky so I'm sitting on the couch trying to decide which finger to wear it on. Since he didn't actually say "will you marry me" I didn't take it as an engagement ring rather than just something pretty and sparkly. He went outside to smoke, came back in and I'm still playing with this ring trying to figure out which hand and finger to wear it on. I must have had it for 20 minutes by this time. When he came back in, he got down on both knees and says "you know it doesn't matter which finger you wear it on, I consider you my wife anyway." BIG pause then "baby, will you marry me?" I look up and he has this look of absolute shock on his face. hahaha. He had not originally intended for it to be my engagement ring but the question just kinda slipped out. It was hilarious and I think he surprised himself more than me! We got married on August 26, 2010 which was our 12 year anniversary.

We had dated for about 1.5 years, though I pretty much knew he was 'the one' after a couple months. We had designed the ring together and I knew he picked it up, but had no clue when he'd pop the question. It was the Saturday before Christmas 2008 and we spent the day doing some shopping - he had some 'errands' to do so he dropped me off at the mall. Later we had plans for dinner .

Around dinner time, a limo rolled up to our apartment so I knew something was up! We went to the place where he asked me out on our first date and just before we arrived, he had me watch a video on his iPod. I was in tears! He took me to the building (on MSU's campus) to the exact spot where it all began. I was so excited and overwhelmed with emotion that I don't really remember much of what he said but I of course said yes! He had called my parents to let them know and ask my dad for permission, so they were just sitting by the phone waiting for me to call with the news.

Turns out his 'errands' earlier were buying champagne and running out to campus to make sure 'our table' was still in the right spot. He wanted to propose before Christmas so I could show my family the ring when I went home to Ohio. I felt terrible leaving my new fiancé in Michigan for the week!

bumpppppp

Well my boyfriend hasn't proposed yet but he did get me a promise ring for christmas last year and how he did it was really cute and unexpected!

We were opening our gifts and he made me open a certain one last.... I opened it and it was this beautiful mirrored jewelry box. I loved it! So I start getting it out of it's box, the box was still all taped up and packaged the way it came... I finally got though all the tape and styrofoam to the jewelry box itself and I open the lid and inside there was a beautiful ring and earrings!! He was tricky lol!

I guess my jaw about hit the ground when I saw the ring because he was real quick to tell me that it wasn't a real one yet ... which was fine by me because I really don't want to get proposed to on Christmas cuz lots of people do that, I'd prefer it be a day special to us or just a completely random day!

Hopefully there will be a "real" ring soon.... he's mentioned it

september 2009 i went to the Isle of Man for a few days holiday( on my own), needed to get away from everything and had a few days left at work that i needed to use up, so packed a bag jumped on the back of the motorbike and set off for the ferry..
on my last full day there i stopped in one of the little towns for a coffee, parked the bike up and had a wonder down the street. On my return to the bike this man popped his head out of the camper van and asked what bike it was, we got chatting and he said for me to meet him at the start line of the TT and he would meet me with one of his bikes and take me round the island and show me some of the bits i hadnt seen, over coffee later that day he said ''i can not belive i have waited all my life to meet someone like you and your leaving tomorrow, stay here and marry me'' and we said i do in june 2010 :-)
