Worst Wedding Proposal EVER

I have one good, one bad and one I should never have.

The bad one: I was 19 he was 21. We had only known each other for about 2 or 3 weeks. We had gone out to see some band at a nightclub. I ran into the son of one of my mom's ex-boyfriends. We talked a little and I was asking him about his dad. Just a couple of minutes of cordial chit-chat. He seemed a little miffed the rest of the night and when we got home we argued a little bit. He made some comment about not wanting to share me and I asked him if he was asking me to marry him. He said yeah, I guess so. We were married a couple of months later. Sadly he died before our first anniversary when I was 5 1/2 months pregnant with our now 26 yo daughter.

The second one the proposal was at Outback and he did the whole "get down on one knee" thing. I should have known things were going to be bad when we actually had to postpone the wedding to the next day because he was in jail and they forgot to put him on the transport to the courthouse that day. :ohwell:

This last one was nothing like I expected. We had been together for almost 6 years. We were at a pawn shop and he was looking at stereo amps and I was looking at jewelry. He came over and we picked out one we liked and he bought it. I figured he would ask me but he didn't. He just handed me the bag. When we got home he just put the box on his night table. And there it sat until it got knocked onto the floor where it continued to sit until I finally decided I was tired of seeing it on the floor and picked it up and put it in my dresser. It is now about a year later and we are going on an Alaskan Cruise with the local radio station. They have signed Rick Trevino to come along and do a couple of private shows for just the radio station listeners that are on the cruise. He bought me a real nice ammolite ring when we were in Ketchikan and I was wearing that. He made some comment about how I probably expected him to ask me. It honestly had never crossed my mind on this trip. I think I had quit anticipating it after about 6 months. Then he said something about not having a ring and I told him well he could always use the one he just bought me and we could replace it with the actual ring when we got home.
All of the sudden he is holding his stomach and telling me he has to go back to the cabin to go to the bathroom. I tell him there is one right there behind us and he makes a comment about not wanting anyone to know he'd been in there. So he runs back to the room and when he gets back, Rick has just finished his set and hubby goes up to the keyboard player and is talking to him.

All of the sudden the host is up there and hubby is up there and they are calling me up.

He gets down on his knee and asks me. I cried because he had THE ring. He had had it in his pocket the whole trip until the point where he was going to pull it out and realized he had left it in his other pants when he changed so he made up the bathroom story. He said he was so nervous every time we had to go through security because he was afraid it would set off the metal detectors.
We've been married 3 years in April.

Mine didn't do the knee thing either he walked me into the jewelry store and said which one would you like We've been married 13 or 15 years I never can remember and are as happy as ever. I didn't need engagement drama or wedding drama, so now I don't have marriage drama

Oh I LOVE this!! My birthday is this weekend and I know the chances of me even getting a card are slim - so many friends say MrWW doesn't care because their husbands HAVE to get them a present, flowers, card or they'd be mad. But at Christmas he scoured the shops to find me fresh figs and got his sisteer to wrap them in a beautiful box for me on Christmas morning, I didn't have any idea. So I know he loves me, he just doesn't buy meaningless gifts

:grumble: im still waiting..it"ll be 11 yrs on feb 25th

wow...11 years? You haven't b!tched enough

That's WAY too long to be waiting in my opinoin.

If it works for you..why ruin a good thing??

The worst proposal was when my ex-boyfriend asked me to marry him as we were laying on a fold up bed at his mom's. He had no ring or anything. I stupidly said yes, but luckily never married him. A few weeks later, we went to the jewelry store to get a ring and the only one he could afford was this ugly gold and purple ring. I hated that thing... and I'm glad I never married him, he's bad news.

When my husband proposed, he wrote on index cards a reason why he loved me and what he hoped for the future and a clue to where the next card was, the last card led to the ring, where he got down on one knee and proposed. Then we went out to dinner. I knew eventually he would propose because we had been discussing marriage and were looking at ring ideas online to get an idea what I liked. Love the ring and love my husband. We're going on 3 years.

Anyone have any stories about the worst wedding proposal??? Heres mine!!!


Went to a local bar with my soon-to-be-fiance and two of his male friends. It was right after 9/11 and he told me that the local post office had an anthrax scare, and he wanted me to have some Levaquin (the anti-anthrax drug). He handed me a vile while his friends (who knew about it) watched. I opened it, and my diamond engagement ring was in there. He didn't even get on his friggin knee.
He swears hes going to make it up to me.... but I doubt it.

Granted, not the most romantic proposal I've ever heard but..... He cares enough about you to PROPOSE and your BI#$ING about it?! I hope you said no to him!

This is the story of my best friend's proposal.

She and her to-be-fiance went to a hippie music festival. The week leading up to it, the guy (we'll call him Adam) tells her over and over that he is going to propose that weekend. Byebye surprise.

Once at the festival, he decides that he wants to do a "vision quest". My friend (let's cal her Lila) tells him that she will under no circumstances accept a proposal if he is under the influence of any drug. So he decides to forgo food, water, and sleep for the entirety of the festival to achieve his vision quest.

While on his vision quest, he buys a couple of wire rings from a craftworker at the festival and begins running around incoherently attempting to get his buddies to put together a drum circle for his big proposal. However, all of his buddies are otherwise occupied with their own drug-induced stupors.

Flash forward to Sunday. Adam is hallucinating from lack of food/sleep/water, screaming angry about everything, and whining about how no one will do a drum circle with him. As he complains to Lila, she explains that, since it's his proposal, he shouldn't need his friends to help him out to do it. Pissed off by this bit of logic, he takes a chunk of wood that he has been playing with and throws it at her while screaming, "Just take the ****ing ring then!"




They are to be married in June.

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!

This is totally how I feel about my proposal. The proposal was just a mess but it's a great story to tell.

My fiance's best friend has a wife that is seriously weird and super nosey. She overheard him talking to my fiance about his plan to propose, but she didn't know it. She pitched such a fit until he told her what he was talking about on the phone. He got so pissed he ended up throwing the ring box at her and yelled "HERE!!!! Now are you happy?" She was so upset that she made reservations for the next night at a fancy restaurant downtown and made him do it then so they had a "real story".. I couldn't believe it.

My fiance on the otherhand, had the best proposal ever! He proposed last April at Opening Day for our baseball team. He got the Detroit Free Press photographer to be there and we ended up being in the newspaper the next day. He did it in front of all my family and friends (tailgaiting and opening day is THE biggest day of the year for us) and got down on one knee in a puddle (it was raining).. I had NOOOO clue it was going to happen. My dad had secretly got a bunch of passes to the private club inside the ball park too and we all went up there during the game and ate and drank for free. It was THE best day of my life. Hands down. Our wedding is this fall so I'm thinking that will trump it though

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.

bahaahahaah this is hilarious! I'm glad it worked out for you

Long story short, a guy I dated off and on my senior year got me pregnant before I left for college. After I told him the news, he left me at 3 mos pregnant for his exgirlfriend who had a kid by another guy. Fast forward to a couple years ago. His wife left him for another man and he's enlisted in the army getting ready to leave for basic. While visiting his family who are still friends of mine, he pops a spontaneous proposal in the street with some $2 ring. The proposal included something about how he screwed up before and wanted to make the right decision finally.

Jaw dropped, I just didn't know how to form a sentence let alone a reply......since he was still married to the woman who left him. And I was married and have been married to the same man I first went on a date with the day my ex married the woman he left me for.
