Worst Wedding Proposal EVER
Replies
-
My wife, or rather before she was my wife, did the proposing. We had been together five years and I was a bit nervous of the marriage thing after all my first marriage had ended badly and I lost everything including every stitch of clothing I had to a hired skip. Anyway, we were doing ok and I didn't want to spoil things so, my wife waited until we were visiting her parents and in the middle of a family conversation handed me a ring catalogue and said, 'choose one!'
Ermmm ... How could I get out of that one with her parents' wide smiles staring at me?0 -
We'd talked about getting married before, but he texted me from work and said, "Do you want to go to Manchester tonight?"
(I knew he meant go there to get married.)
I said, "For what?" because I was irritated that he was saying it via text.
He said, "Let's get married."
I said, "I love you and I want to marry you, but I have so much debt in student loans."
He said, "I don't care. I love you."
...so we drove to Manchester, got married and then I suggested grabbing a pizza. He looked at me funny and we went to a nice restaurant instead.
I actually enjoyed it; I always knew I didn't want a wedding; I'm not super close with my family. The only thing I really missed was having my friends there.0 -
I was in a bar with him and a few friends. I went over to another table to chat to some people I knew and they were trying to get me to go to a party with them. I told them no and went back to my fellas table and they followed, still trying to get me to go with them. Fella stood up, went up to them and told them that they should go to their party now and leave me alone. He then turned around, took a ring of my right ring finger that he bought for me a couple of months beforehand 'because I liked it', got down on one knee to and told me he couldn't stand the thought of living the rest of his life without me and wanted to do it as my husband and nothing less. That was all very romantic. The worst part was it took me fifteen minutes to realise he's proposed and I'd just dismissed his ramblings as nonsense. We got married just over two years later and have been married over three years.
My sister's fiance's parents got married when he was 16 and she was 17 and they had a one year old. They now have four children, four grandchildren and been married nearly 34 years.0 -
Here is my story. I met my husband at 14 (one month short of 15) we dated for 3 years then he said let's get engaged at xmas (I am now 18) and I said all excited OK... but then 2 years later he never talked about wedding or dates... so finally (I am now 20) I asked so will we ever get married or what... he says well grab the calendar and lets pick a date... seriously.. so 1 year later we got married and we just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary...0

My husband had been married before, was separated (for 8yrs) but had never bothered getting a divorce. I already had four children and he had two (we both have full custody). We'd been together a while and I fell pregnant.
We were walking down the street one day when he said, "I'm going to start divorce proceedings."
"Oh," I replied, "What for?"
"So we can get married!" he said.
It threw me a bit as I'd actually never really thought about it.
Fast forward a few months. Our son was a few months old by now. We'd been to choose an engagement ring but it needed to be resized. I didn't know that the job was done and he'd been to pick it up. We were watching our son wriggle and giggle on the floor when he brought out the ring and said, "So shall we get wed or what then?"
We were married the following year.
I bring it up at every opportunity, as is my right, lol.0 -
Mine was actually very cute (his grandmother's ring, sent it to my parents, they had it sized, proposed this past Thanksgiving in front of my whole family
) My parents, however...not so much.
My mom had met my dad in a bar (classy) and lied about her age. She said she was 18, when she wasn't quite.She already had my sister when they met, but I guess he didn't care. Basically, he ended up getting her pregnant probably about a year into the relationship. Fast forward nine months, hello, me! They stayed together, still boyfriend and girlfriend. Fast forward another year and about 10 months, my mom a few months pregnant with my brother. They (read:she) is driving with two screaming toddlers in the back seat so he could meet the people who helped raise her for the first time. She tells him that they are very traditional, and since they aren't married, they would have to sleep in separate rooms. My dad's response was "Why don't we then." My mom said "Why don't we then, what?" He said, "Get married." So romantic. :laugh: But, they've been together ever since, so...I guess it worked out. It'll be 19 years in February.0 -
He made a picnic in the livingroom after the kids went to bed because he couldn't get a babysitter and we had an argument earlier so I thought he was trying to apologize, so we ate dinner and watched a movie. Well, we ended up (go figure:blushing: ) making love and he started saying how happy I made him and how he really loved me, He reached under the pillow under my head and pulled out the ring box wrapped a sheet around himself and got on his knee and asked if I would marry him. Not my dream proposal, but it was nice.
I love him no matter what, plus, to me it isn't the way he proposes that matters, it is just the fact that he wants to marry me, especially since we have been living together for 3 years with 2 kids and I really didn't have the intention of getting married. 0 -
My husband came home from work, I was doing homework ( college algebra which I HATE) and we were going to go to dinner that night. He goes to get a shower comes down and asks me to put his earing in for him so he gets on his knee in front of the couch. While I'm doing that he starts with the I love you speech and I'm all I love you too, let me finish this math so we can go put and he hits me with I want to get married. I was floored b/c we had discussed and were not getting married! So he's handing me a ring box and I'm handing it back and we both got it in our hand I'm pushing it away and he's pushing it to me. I said I thought we weren't getting married, he says I changed my mind, I said well you could have talked to me about it, he says I'm doing that now...Needless to say I did finally accept. We had just found out we got the house we had bid on and were moving bith families together permanetly so I thought why not. I'm glad I did now!0

I kicked my husband in the balls when he was trying to propose...:embarassed: In my defense, he came running up to me when I was swinging on a swing set and there was absolutely no way for me to stop in time. He kept asking me if I promised to be nice from him from now on... haha.
The rest of it was pretty romantic though. Except my family got a little crazy, but that is to be expected. They tend to be crazy even when nothing exciting is happening.0 -
"you found the ring... might as well put it on"
and I wasn't even looking :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:0 -
while at his aunts house laying in his cousins bed watching the movie bed of roses i decided to ask him to marry me... he said no. i wanna say this was september. nothing more said about it. now keep in mind he was engaged to a girl for 2 weeks 3 days of which she wore the beautiful 2 carrot ring. one day in november he decides he is going to sell the ring (i would have gladly worn it, i mean she only wore it for 3 days and it was amazing) so go does just that. only got 500$ for it. we then were walking through the mall went into a store i picked out ring. the woman handed it to me to try on, didnt fit but i wanted to wear it to thanksgiving dinner at my grandmothers so i had them put a ring sizer on it. a week later i got it sized, got married in feb. he never actually asked me to marry him, didnt put the ring on my finger nothing!!!!0

Mine was my birthday weekend the whole week before he kept telling me how great my birthday present was. This of course made me angry because I like to be surprised and I also had not been feeling well and wanted to stay home, but he told me I had no choice we were going out. Well before we even left the house he calls me into the kitchen makes me close my eyes and then tells me I can open them he has the ring shoved in my face and he then says "Well you put in the time" he made a proposal sound like a prison sentence we had been together for 9 years and he made me feel like well since you stuck around I guess I could marry you. Hindsight I should have said no at his horrible proposal, but I married him anyways and we are still married. We still talk about it and he even told me that he was surprised I agreed to it. He try's really hard to be romantic, but it just isn't in him I guess.0

Some of these are actually really sweet. Not all, mind you, but some are...
We were lying in bed, at his parent's house in Florida, the first time I had met them. Just snuggling and he asks me if I want to get married before he leaves on deployment in two months. It was simple, it was nice.
Being a girl, I asked him to take me out to dinner and propose properly, which ended up being a nice Italian dinner at a beach front restaurant, followed by a sweet walk on the beach where he did the whole on one knee thing. While it was nice to have a more romantic story for family about how he proposed, I remember the first proposal with more fondness. It was so us. More our style than any of that romantic walk on the beach in moonlight and down on one knee stuff.0 -
Mine didn't even propose to me. I, yes ME, bought HIM a damn ring, I threw it at him and said yo we're getting married! lol0

Men are so funny! hahaha At least you have a unique story...
My fiance didn't know what to get me for Christmas so he decided on Christmas eve when he was out shopping to buy an engagement ring. I don't even think he realized what he was doing... Christmas morning in front of both our families I opened the gift and everyone was ooohing and aaaahing....and then about 10mins later my mom says: Hey, is there a question that goes with that ring?
So my fiance was like...oh, okay...uh, will you marry me?? LOL
He didn't even get on his knee either...kind of just leaned in from where he was standing looking like a deer caught in headlights. I think he was more shocked that he asked the question then me....lol0 -
SO glad I didn't marry this schmuck, because at the time, stupid and 23, I prolly would have....
Together 5 years, right around Christmas time, he tells me in this proud kind of way, "I think I know what I'm going to get you for Christmas.... I think you'll really like it."
My eyes shone a little brighter, since he usually sucked at gifts and it sounded thoughtful this time. "Really?"
"Yeah... but, I kind of think I should ask your dad about it first...."
My eyes were probably saucer-wide and jiggly like in those anime cartoons. I wasn't the typical girl who had always dreamed of her wedding - who was pressing for the engagement - who was desperately waiting for 'that moment'. I was the independent type that scoffed at marriage and said I didn't need it. But at that moment, with the MAN OF MY DREAMS!(:sick:), my heart shook just a bit and my inner-me clasped her hands together. ".....Oh really?"
Turned out to be a f@#$ing Bersa 380 pistol he bought at discount from his boss.

He was a drunk anyway. Seriously, though. I don't even think he knew how it (what he'd said) came off sounding like. I think he really was that stupid. Then he got mad at me for being let down and almost crying.
C'EST LA VIE.0 -
well My ex husband did get a gorgeous ring.. BUT he handed me the box I opened it and he said Welll??? Do you wanna?? lol that was it.. I was just stunned.. no romance .. nothing.. I said um I guess he said ok.. and went back to playing computer games... Hmm We are Divorced now...0

My dad "proposed" to my mom when they were driving in his car and he glanced in the back seat and said, "I think we could fit two or three kids back there, don't you?" :laugh:0

I'm so sorry you guys feel that you proposals were bad, i would just say different. I fell down a flight of stairs on my 1st day of work and when I finally hit bottom all sprawled out on the floor and this guy came up to me and asked me if I wanted to go dancing with him. Really? I said no 2 months later we were living together and on the 4th month we were on our way to the SS Office and in the car he said you wanna get married? I said lets go back and I'll get a white blouse and a camera went to Vegas $35 for license both rings together were $62, which I paid for. $30 for service. Never regretted a moment of it we were married for 23 years 2 wonderful now adult children. He has now since passes and Id do it all again. He never bought me flowers he always picked them. So we were married in jeans. What a wonderful day!0

Many moons ago, I ended a long term relationship and moved to a new city just so I wouldn't have to risk bumping into the guy. I had been living in my new place for all of a week when one morning I woke up and my ex was in bed next to me, awake and apparently watching me sleep. Creepo. He had somehow convinced my roommate's boyfriend that we were still together so he let him in the house. I'm lying there, half asleep in pajamas and unbrushed teeth- totally pissed (plus mildly freaked out because I never told him where I was moving to) and then he pulls out a ring box. I was so angry I didn't even look at it and kept trying to get him to answer my questions about how the hell he had found me and wtf he was doing in my bed. He wouldn't answer me and then he opened the box to reveal the ugliest ring I have ever seen... and on top of that it's 4 sizes too small. What a moron. Come to find out he had bought it at pawn shop on the way to blindside me at my new place. Quite the romantic that one.0

My husband rolled up to my office... on his bike... on a Wednesday afternoon... drenched with sweat and carrying a greasy bag of Arby's sandwiches and curly fries.
He said 'I brought you lunch... and also (getting down on one knee) I wanted to ask you to marry me'. I pretty much said 'HECK, YEAH!' and we've lived together happily ever after for almost 15 years.
I'm crazy about that man.
And just in his defense - he had something really sweet and elaborate planned. A hike to a secluded waterfall, with a candlelight picnic dinner set-up and his friend playing cello music from above the waterfall. He just got too excited and couldn't wait three more days to ask me! That ring burned some kind of hole in his pocket! He picked it up from the jeweler right before picking up lunch from Arby's.0 -
He stood over me, held out a ring box (not opened) and said "well, will you?"..... I didn't.0

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.
Bad timing but at least he put a little effort into it 0 -
We were laying on the floor watching TV. He reaches over with the ring box and says "Do you want this?" I did laugh and say yes... Married 18 years0

Let's just preface this with I was young and very stupid ...
I'd found out I was pregnant a couple of weeks before. We had talked about getting married, but I told him I didn't want him to feel obligated to marry me unless he really wanted to. The night of the proposal we had driven down to the small hick town where his brother was working. He got drunk and stoned that night. After several hours of partying he stumbled out to the pickup truck where we were sleeping (in the bed on sleeping bags, and where I had been waiting for him since I didn't want to be around the alcohol or the smoke) ... asked me to marry him and then promptly passed out. I had to ask him the next morning if he even remembered what he'd asked me.
Unfortunately he did and I spent the next 14 years in H*LL.0 -
We were on a cruise and there was some drama the night before (not with us, we never fight but with other's on the trip with us, long story..lol) but we ended up staying up pretty much the whole night and decided to go see the sunrise on the ship (sounds romantic right)... as we were leaving he just looked at me and handed me the box, and I said YES, not particularly sweet but I guess it was okay.0

That's quite an amazing story, I'm sorry for your loss. You were a lucky woman.0
