Worst Wedding Proposal EVER
Replies
-
Well, I was dating my husband... Found out I was pregnant, I was relatively young (23), so I told him. HIs 'proposal' was "Well, I guess the next logical step is that we get married...."
Now, he was planning on proposing to me exactly 2 weeks later. Couldn't he have come up with anything better than that???
)
That was over 10 years ago though, so I guess it all worked out...0 -
now husband and i decided to go to new york city for NYE. it was going to be our last hurrah before he deployed. we had been together about 10 months. ((back story: a few weeks before this i had said something about wanting to get married SOME DAY and he freaked out and got all weird so i was not even thinking anything about it)... so anyways, first night in NYC and we are at this super fancy hotel, hanging out in the bar with 2 of our friends who live there. he had quite a bit to drink and i went up to the bar to get us another round. while im waiting there this girl starts hitting on me, asking if she can buy me a drink, etc. I politely declined, got our beers and head back to our friends. He apparently saw what happened at the bar and was being all weird but i just figured it was because he was drunk. We went back up to our room, I kept asking him what was wrong at which point he tells me... I was having fun until that lesbian ruined our night... i was going to ask you to marry me but not now... AND THEN PASSED OUT. the whole thing was just weird, he is not a jealous person and we have more gay friends than we do straight ones so i just figured he was way drunk and not making any sense. i never brought it up again and neither did he. 2 weeks later he suprised me but proposing at HIS going away party in front of all our family and friends... def. made up for it.. will be married for 6 years this march and i could not be happier0

I guess mine isn't too terrible ... kinda cute actually but the end it what threw me off.
We had just gotten new kittens. Went and got them collars ... I had put one on Kage real fast and he was struggling to put Jaybles on her. I'm thinking to myself, you seriously can't put a collar on a cat that's not even moving?? so next thing I know, he hands her to me and says "I can't do it, will you put it on?" ... being all smart *kitten* about it, I go and snap it on real quick. As I'm turning it, I realize there's a ring on the collar. At this point I look at him like "am I getting punked??" and ... his phone rings ... he says "all I need is a yes or no" ... I'm still in shock, so it takes a minute ... he ANSWERS HIS PHONE!!! we were supposed to be meeting his uncle for dinner and were late, hence the phone call. SO when he hung up I finally said yes and proceeded to drool over my new ring the rest of the night
but who answers their phone mid-proposal?! my husband of 3 years, that's who 0 -
mine was stupid too - after spending 2 hours in a crowded, hot church for late night Easter vigil (i'm Catholic - he's nothing) i was so eager to get home - late, hungry, poor bf had just sat through what must have been like hell to him lol. so i'm escorting my mom to the car and he keeps asking me to stop in the courtyard of the church to smoke a cig (we both quit before the wedding) i kept saying no i wanna go we'll smoke in the car, lets go. finally he gets the idea and like stomps to the car. we drive to my parents house - mom gets out of car to go in - he pulls out the ring box sitting in my car in the driveway of my parents house and proceeds to tell me i ruined his proposal attempt earlier. really? well, over 5 years and 2 kids later....i wouldn't trade him for anything

My husband proposed to me after knowing me for 1 week. I told him no. He went out to sea for 6 months in the Navy. He proposed in each and every single letter for 4 months, asked at every phone call. Poems, songs, different languages, pictures - you name it, he tried it. I finally gave up and said yes and he said - "I was just kidding."
THEN, he moves here, and within the week he's got a ring on layaway and tells my whole entire family - even asked my dad permission. Of course, when he finally proposed for real six months later (took me to a fancy dinner and had them hide it in the dessert) I said yes.
Been married 10 years and have a great marriage.0 -
My hubby had me drive us to our favorite restaurant and then complained because they sat us with cackling people on all sides. We finished dinner got in the car to drive back to his home, and he passed me a card. In it, was the wedding ring (he was so excited he got the set mixed up) and the card asked me...0

Mine wasn't bad for me, but definitely not something I can share with everyone either. I was pregnant with our son and we had already bought a house together and lived together for quite a long time. Then one night we were "being intimate" as they say and he said all the romantic "I love you, I want to be with you forever" and all that stuff and asked me to marry him, while still in the middle of having sex. Then the next morning, he got up before me (very unusual) and woke me up with a kiss and told me that he was serious and asked me to give him an answer, because I didn't the night before.0

Both of us were getting ready to go out separately on a Friday night, me with the girls, him with some guys. He handed me a box of cookies in our kitchen (we had been living together for 5 months), acting weird. I opened them, and there was a ring there. He just stood there looking at me. Long pause. I asked, "So, is this THE ring?" He sheepishly said yes. I said, "Shouldn't there be some sort of question or something associated with this?" Sheepish, "Will you marry me?" Geez. His reasoning was that I would want to show it to my friends that night. I did, but also told them this lame story. He should have done better - it was a really beautiful ring.
Could also mention that I had actually proposed to him about a year earlier (together 4 yrs). We were on a beach and I wrote 'Marry me' in the sand. He wrote 'No.' I just looked at him, and he wrote some more and changed it to 'Not yet.' Could have been a sweet story.
Lesson learned from most of these posts: keep it simple and sweet, maybe actually include an 'I love you' and 'will you marry me'. You can never go back and rewrite the proposal story.0 -
I was pregnant. I picked him up on his break from work. He asked if we could go to the jewelry store on his break and I got angry because originally the plan was to go to Arby's which my pregnant self CRAVING. He realized I was upset and said "fine lets go to arbys first. We got there and were sitting in the booth eating. He reached in his box of curly fries and said " either you come with me to the jewelry store after lunch or Ill end up having to put this curly fry on your finger when I propose to you.0

Awww... Arby's is part of your engagement story too. :bigsmile:0 -
I had a former co-worker turned "stalker" who wouldn't stop texting me, emailing me, or calling me. He told me he purposely got himself fired from his job so he could date me because our work had a "no-dating" policy between co-workers. (oh, and he was a pathological liar...apparently he has billions of dollars in secret riches squirrled away in the Caymen Islands that he can't get to right now lol) Finally after a few months of ignoring him, he e-mails me a picture of the engagement ring that he just bought me and wants my address so he can send it to me. UM NO!!! Changed number, email, and jobs!0

I didn't know there was a WRONG way to propose? You are spending the rest of your life with someone you love. Woudn't him asking you to spend the rest of your life with him be GOOD enough???? Usually "bad" proposals turn out to be something you look back on, laugh and remember it for the rest of your life! Cut your men some slack, ladies! 0

My husband came to visit me in Texas. He was horribly ill. We went out to eat and he kept leaving the table to throw up. When he proposed in the hotel room, he was so sick, he fell over while on his knee.0

Yeah, mine was bad timing more than bad. I asked him why he thought that was the right time to ask. He said he knew how upset I'd been because of rocky's situation and he just wanted to put a smile on my face We've been married almost 9 years and have 3 kiddos. 0

I wasn't entirely convinced that A. it was real and B. it wasn't stolen0 -
We had been together over a year and we have a son together and took him to the dr. for a check up and while we got in the car he pulled the ring outta his pocket(no box or anything) and practically threw it at me and said "here, will you marry me?". I said yes because I was 18 and dumb at the time and we had a child together, but needless to say we AREN'T together now and there are sooooo many reasons why(Id be here all day if I hadda name them all).0

My ex just walked up to me while I was cleaning off tables at a family reunion. He handed me the ring right there and didn't even say anything to me. My arms were full of dirty styrofoam plates smeared with left-over Aunt Ruth's green been casserole and beet salad. Yeah I was pissed. I snapped at him....not right here..ugh! I went and chunked the plates in the garbage and made him take me to the stairwell so we could at least have some semblance of privacy. Big freakin fail. Almost as bad as the "honeymoon". ugh0

My poor fiancee couldn't catch a break after three plans fell through he set out the box the ring box came in on his printer and waited for me to notice it. I didn't so he pointed it out to me, and asked. I couldn't get the ring out of the box. But i did tackle him when i said yes.0

I was in a crappy two year relationship and had been trying to end it for months. The night before he proposed we got in a HUGE fight and I asked him to leave the house. I also told him the relationship was over. The next day I was leaving work. He was parked next to my car in the parking garage and when he saw me coming he got out and asked me to talk to him. I said “Heck No” and that’s when he got down on one knee with the ring and popped the question. Of course I said no and that relationship is thankfully over! It makes me sad that the only proposal story I have is in a parking garage and I said no…are you freaking kidding me! :laugh:0

but who answers their phone mid-proposal?! my husband of 3 years, that's who
You never told me the phone part, Chrissy! HAHAHAHA Oh Iain.
So mine is actually funny but at the time, I didn't think so. So my boyfriend and I had been together a few years and we had a 1 year-old daughter (at the time). Anyway, my dad kept sorta making these comments about me getting married whenever I was around my parents by myself. He was teasing, but it was kind of getting to me. So I brought it up with boyfriend, just telling him my dad had been teasing me. He blew it off. No surprise. But I was starting to get hurt about it because about 2 or 3 months into our relationship, he was already talking about wanting to marry me. I was wondering what changed. He used to text me "will you marry me?" at random moments. I would always reply with "not from a text message proposal" or something along those lines. Anyway, fast forward a few days from that initial conversation about my dad, and I take my daughter with me over to my parents' house and my dad makes yet another joke about marriage. So I tell him, "Dad, I don't know. I'm not worried about it." So after I leave to head home, I get a text message from my boyfriend asking for my dad's phone number. I got a bit suspicious, but gave it to him. Then I got home and asked him why he needed my dad's number and he said it was to ask him what mechanic he used to take his car to (the car that my parents had given my boyfriend). So I felt a wave of disappointment. Anyway so I again told him about my father making a comment (which at this point must've been funny to him because he had already called my dad to ask his permission). He starts making comments about how if we get married it might change things and why mess with the way things are. And stuff about how he wouldn't know what type of ring to get or what size and I'd probably be upset if he got the wrong size. He actually said it was a lot of work and not worth it. I got so upset I started crying and told him to leave me alone. He was like "Babe? Why are you so upset?" I just kept saying "Leave me alone. Don't talk to me." I just felt so foolish for crying about it. Well anyway, he gets up off the couch, and all of a sudden is kneeling in front of me, but I'm refusing to look at him. He says "Babe? Please talk to me. Please look at me." I still refuse. Then he says "Babe? Will you marry me?" and I look down at him and he has a damn ring and the first words out of my mouth were "I f*cking hate you, you jerk!" haha then I said "yes, of course!" Turns out he had been planning to propose on Mother's Day, but I had gotten so upset that he thought I was going to break up with him before that (it was 2 days away). This was May 5th last year and we're getting married May 5th this year.
And now, I wouldn't change the proposal for anything in the world. 0 -
