Well we had been officially a couple for about... 6 weeks. Went out to a nightclub, got drunk and he said "I really do love you you know" (first time he said it lol) and I said "I love you too, I said in fact I love you so much if you asked me to marry you I'd do it tomorrow" and he said "will you marry me?" and I was like " Err... I was joking, but yes of course!!!" so we kept it quiet and got the DJ to announce it to all our friends who were really excited too (but the next day everyone had forgot about it so we had to announce it again

Anyway he came back to Leeds for the weekend and went shopping with his best mate, then when I next saw him he did the on one knee, ring in hand etc thing.

Im not usually impulsuive but for Matt, its completely an exception. I know he's 'the one' that people go on about which was why I didn't feel silly rushing into engagement, babies or moving in. We've been together 3 1/2 ish years now

Not very romantic really but that's just us lol

i had two proposals lol. first one oh was in middle of divorce. we went shopping in portsmouth and he took me to the butterfly house as i love butterflies and asked me there. then the second one we were on holiday in cambrils after oh was divorced and we were walking along the beach at night time and he wrote it in the sand. the second one was announced to everyone and only a few close friends knew about the first.

My DH had come home from Japan for a visit and took me to meet his family. The night before I was leaving to go back to VA (we were in louisiana) and he was leaving to go back to Japan he kinda stole the promise ring he had given me. Then he got down on one knee and said "I really hope you don't think this is tacky but I forgot your real ring in Japan but I know you're the one that I wanna spend the rest of my life with so this one will have to do for now. Mary will you make me complete and marry me?" Of course I started crying and obviously said yes.

I always said to karl i wanted a christmas proposal but it had to be snowing when he did it x
i never thought it would happen but a couple of months later christmas morning came and it had been snowing (not a lot ) but enough to see it on the ground so he made me get out of bed put his hands over my eyes walked me down stairs and out side i had to keep my eyes shut untill he said i could open them. as soon as i opened my eyes and saw karl on one knee i started crying he said will you make me the happiest man alive and become my wife then added hurry up my knee is freezing

 

[Kimboowee]

He asked me while I was in labour lol...I was sick about 30 seconds later (blame gas and air for that one)

Still not go my ring though wedding is booked, not found one I like!

 

[buttonnose82]

mine was in Italy. We climbed the 463 steps to the top of the cathedral in the centre of Florence, we stood looking at the amazing views and he got down on 1 knee and asked me to marry him!

That was 2 weeks ago tomorrow!

x-posted form my WTT journal...

He took me up to the top of a mountain close to our house and we watched the sunset when he asked me. It was so beautiful! The sun was this bright red colour and the clouds were all pink. We were 1919 ft in the air(we brought the GPS up out of curiosity)--the trees looked like broccoli from there! After that, we went down to my hometown, to my best friend's house where my sister and my best friend threw us a party! All of our closest friends were there--it was so much fun!

Picture of my ring!

Mine wasn't quite the way my DH had planned, lol. He wanted to ask me on Valentine's Day and make it all romantic etc(we would have been together nearly a year)..however what actually happened was a little more impulsive - the boy can't keep secrets.

I'd been on a residential course for a week and got back late on the Friday. We made up for a week of missed time and was laying in bed just chatting about slushy things. He then got up and goes "just don't ask any questions" and disappeared in to the loft (not unusual for my hubby I should add!). So I just got comfy in bed and started to doze - he was gone for ages. Next thing I know, he jumps on the bed kneeling (on both knees, lol) and goes "you know I love you, well will you marry me?" And then gave me the ring! He'd only got it the day before (this was in January) and couldn't keep it in until Valentine's Day. To say I was gobsmacked would have been an understatement. We'd discussed our future but I didn't expect him to have a ring and ask me then after 11 months of being together at 11:30pm on a Friday night,

Obviously I said yes as we'll have been married 18months on the 16th

I popped the question on christmas day under the christmas tree

 

[MrsBandEgglet]

I was 19, a student and living with my 30-year-old bf (now hubby). I was slightly the worse for wear one night after indulging in a little...ahem...."mood-enhancement" therapy and had the uncontrollable giggles. Our flat was a converted barn and the front door led literally onto the staircase which led right up to the open-plan lounge. I was stood at the top of the stairs, or swaying precariously rather and i lost my footing, my hubby caught me by the scruff of my t-shirt (nearly choking me) before i tumbled backwards down the staircase.

It scared the crap out of me, both of us in fact and he was really really pissed off with me. We went straight to bed and laid there not talking. I said "I'm sorry for being so silly and scaring you", he said "no, you're sorry for nearly f**king killing yourself!" I started to cry and he relented a bit and put his arms round me, telling me he was just so angry because he loved me so much and was so scared of losing me. Then it was just so surreal because it's like we just agreed to get married, there wasn't a proposal as such, we just made an agreement that we wanted to be married. Weird really.

It all sounds so dramatic and i apologise for such a long post but i can recall it word for word and i love thinking about it, calling up the old memories. That was in the November of 2002 and we were married in the July of 2003 and have been together ever since. I won't deny it's been bloody hard going at times and both of us has threatened to leave the other one at least a dozen times, but we're still going strong and are now expecting our first baby after 5 years of trying, which really put a huge strain on our marriage, but we're both happier than ever!!

mine was crap lol thats why hes proposing again it was about 3 years ago i think (see i cant even remember coz it was crap) and id just woken up and we were both laying in bed and he just pulled the ring out of the drawer next to the bed and asked me. i was half asleep and was just like oh right ok lol u had 2 b there really to understand the crapness haha i might hint at him to propose again at xmas

 

[Arlandria]

My oh half was acting REALLY shifty one day and said he had to go out the get his company car valeted or something, some stupid excuse to leave the house but he specifically told me we were going for a walk down the beach in the afternoon!
It was feb 2008 so it was cold and i just agreed. (We always went to the beach with a brew for a walk - mainly when it wasnt so cold!)
So, when he left i rang my best friend to gossip that he was acting wierd and she couldnt stop giggling down the phone to which i was like 'What are you upto?!?!?' obvously she couldnt tell me that she was meeting David to pick my ring!!!!
When he got back he was a nervous wreck and was constantly faffing around...so we went to the beach as he mention and got our mcdonalds brew and by god it was FREEEEEEZING!!!!!

I ended up sitting on a log whilst he was messing around in the sand with a stick...

To cut a long story short, he wrote "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" in the sand and after trying to figure out what it said i obviously said yes!!

One thing he doesnt know is, i'd guessed he was going to ask me so i suppose it wasnt a major suprise but it didnt stop me crying like a baby! And i'll never tell him i knew as it'd break his heart as he loves the fact that i never guessed!

The things we do for love! xx

 

[princess_bump]

james proposed on the 10th feb 2007, in the royal botanic gardens in edinburgh - i knew what was coming because we'd only been away the weekend before to manchester, and we'd wanted to do it for ages.

he flew me up there on the friday, booked an amazing hotel, and restuarant, the next day we went to the castle, and shopping, cos he wanted to buy me a LV bag and knew they had a shop there, then he took me to the gardens, found a beautiful spot and proposed! it was perfect, sat me down on a rock, by a waterfall, got down on one knee and proposed! he had a perfect speech and everything

 

[Floralaura]

It was last christmas, we had just eaten dinner and we were pulling crackers and when i pulled one with him out fell a ring and he kinda squatted/got on one knee (lol) and asked me to marry him..the Christmas before (2007) was our 1st together, then we got engaged last year (2008) and this year we are having a Baby and hoping to marry Christams 2010..yay for Christmas lol!

 

[livestrong]

OH had been planning it for ages, all his friends/family already knew about it. I hadn't been there long after a 6 hour journey by train to get to his uni town of Aberystwyth when he said to me we were going out for a few drinks. I was completely unsuspecting I thought we were just going out for a bit of a piss up lol. We had a box of wine and a hipflask of mead (yum yum!) He took me up to the castle (a place I really love) and I was sat on a bench overlooking the sea at sunset, although it was a pretty grey cloudy night so not much sun lol. I was like "where's the sun?" and he said he'd go and find it so he disappeared round a big rock out of sight and when he came back he got down one knee with a ring. It was perfect!

 

[aly888]

My OH isnt exactly the most assertive person in the world and I knew how he would propose long before he even thought about it...but i still wasnt expecting it!!

it was valentines day this year and i had made him stay away all day coz i was cooking him a meal etc and we had both spoken in the day and said that we had surprises for each other! So, we eat the meal i had cooked, and i revealed the MASHOOSIVE pile of cup-cakes i had been baking allll day and we just chill out in front of telly...by this point it was getting pretty late and im thinking to myself 'where the hell is my surprise!?'
i went out of the room (cant remember why...for a wee maybe) and when i got back i decided to ask him to his face where my surprise was coz i had come to the conclusion he hadnt actually got me anything anyway, i asked him and he just looked at me blankly...so i said 'you didnt get me anything, did you?' and he said 'no, he forgot'!!! I called him a crappy bf and decided to throw a strop and slumped myself to the other end of the sofa as faw away from him as i could (which is quite a long way on a 6 seater sofa)...then I remembered the cup-cakes and thought now was as good as time as any for a little 'comfort eating', and as I leant forward to grab the top one i realised that sitting on the icing was only a bloody engagement ring lol

i felt sooo bad and immediately started crying. He even had to ask me if it was 'good crying or bad crying' and I could just about choke out the word 'good'!!

'If you want to get married I suppose you'd better see what's available before Xmas then' We got married @ our local register office on Xmas Eve '99 and our ds was born 3 weeks later x

 

[having#4]

LOL Love all the engagement stories!

I always told DH that I didn't want him to propose on Christmas, New Years, or Valentine's Day, but wanted something different.
Well last Christmas, I was looking for something in his jacket pocket and found an engagement ring! It took everything in me to keep my mouth shut (he was going to the year before but found out our dd told me) finally on Christmas eve, he took my brother to the pub for beer and some pool , then after dinner he got down on one knee while we were clearing the table and asked me in front of our kids and my mom and brother. My brother kept nudging my mom to get her to look but she was really paying attention to the kids since she doesn't get to see them a lot and missed the whole thing. He had a little speech and was crying, it was sweet, but I was mildly annoyed that he did it on Christmas after I told him I did not want that. Whatever, the important thing is that we are going to spend the rest of our lives together and are getting married in less than a year!
