your proposal

[nightkd]

We had been talking about it for a little while and DH was pretty much trying to figure out if I'd say yes and just sort out little doubts and stuff I think.... Anyway, so I had a feeling it was coming...We were in the car park of Hobby Lobby (American version of Hobby Craft basically) and he was sat there looking weird, I knew.

It wasn't really a PROPOSAL as such it was "Do you wanna marry me?" basically and I ummed and ahhed a bit and then we decided to go look for a ring. Not dramatic or particularly romantic, but perfect for me!

I would like him to 'propose' again....something OTT and romantic at some point in the future.... Shhhh!!!

My DH was so cute ...Keagan was just starting to walk. So I came home from work and was changing into sweats and whatever to hang out. Keagan came toddling in and was saying "synneeeee" which was shiny for him. So I turned around and he was carrying a box with a ring. Daddy had made a shirt that said "Marry me already" and had put it on him.

It was cute. I loved it

we were always talking about marrige even before ben moved over from germany so i knew it was going to happen one day, he moved over in the october 08 and proposed the 28th november he knows i dont like crowds etc so he decorated my bedroom out with xmas decorations and candles etc i actulay have pics . he wouldnt let me in the room for hours and made me go out with my mum and made me stay out until he was ready. i dont like being told what to do so was very very sulky. he called me upstairs and i remember saying "no i dont want to come now get lost" but evenualy went up and i thought hmm what the hell is he doing and he made me sit down and put the music on i wanna grow old with you by westlife and said "i cant imagine being with anyone else you are the one i want to spend my life with and pulled out the ring everything else is a blur i remember ringing round my fam and friends to tell thembut thats it

Ok, you want the story, here it is!!!! Not what most people may class as how they want to get engaged but if you know us, it was perfect!!!!!!

We had been out at a shoot this morning and popped home to drop the stuff off before heading to town for some shopping. We got the bits we wanted to re-do the bathroom and then headed to good old Greggs for some quick lunch.

Headed back to the car and drove to "our" spot which is a lovely wooded area and we often sit in the car park there with some lunch talking and listening the footie on a weekend. Anyway, there we were, me looking like a tramp in my old faithful jeans, hoodie and ugg boots, covered in pasty crumbs and not a care in the world. We finished eating and my boy asked me if I had any Rennie (he suffers terrbily with indegestion!) and I said no so he went into his pocket and I was looking out the window.

Turned around and he was holding the most beautiful ring and just said, "Pops, will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me" and I just stared and the next thing I knew I was in tears and all I could muster was "are you kidding, is it real

I think because it was so unexpected I just couldn't see how it could be happeneing and I even thought he had found a toy ring or something!!!

After a few minutes he said "Pops, please say something" to which I squealed yes and he popped the ring on my finger and we had the biggest hug ever.....

We sat there just smiling for ages then I called my folks and almost deafened my poor Mumsy and then went to the inlaws and lots of tears ensued there too.

It is just the nicest feeling, I am amazingly happy and it was just perfect.

We aren't the sort to get togged up and go to posh restaurants so if he had done that it just wouldnt have been him or us. His style was just this and it was perfect.

Like he said, he wanted to get the surprise element and boy, did he do that!!

My ring he had made for me and it was supposed to be here on my birthday but the diamond came from SA and it didn't show up in time for the jewellers to make it. It is platinum and is a 1/2 carrat princess cut solitare and I love it soooooooooooooo much. I cant stop looking at it.

So yeah, October 3rd is going down as one of the best days of my life.

Our folks asked if we had any thoughts about when the wedding would be yet and I said not really but my boyo said if I wanted to he would like to this time next year which just made me even happier

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy

We hadn't been anywhere for a while and I had just started Summer break from school (wooo teacher perks) so he suggested we go to London for the day and we could go to a museum - he even agreed that we could go to the science museum (I'm a big nerd and science teacher to boot).

So we got to the museum and went to the IMAX to watch a space movie (yay - super nerd out time I was in heaven), walked around a bunch of the museum. The we headed to the space exhibition...like I said I was in nerd heaven and then I'm on my knees with my nose pressed against the glass of a cabinet of model rockets trying to read the labels (the writing was small!) and I I noticed he has crouched down beside me and than he asked - I said yes without thinking (he had previously asked me a few times over the past couple months but jokingly) I turn to look at him and he has a serious look on his face and he motions towards his hands where he has a beautiful ring...cue me in floods of tears!!

Silly sod had it all planned but didn't bank on it being so busy in the museum - it was hectic we did this with people peering past us to see the rocket exhibit and a group of children having a talk about the moon lander!!! So he tried to be very subtle -so subtle I didn't notice the ring until he gestured to it!!!

It sounds very silly I know but it was perfect because he went to a lot of effort to make the day special for me rather than just cheesy romance, we can have a candlelit dinner and flowers anytime!

I still wish I had taken a little more time to answer the question and looked at him before I answered just to see the look on his face all I saw was slight exasperation as he nodded towards his hands!! Bless.

If anyone noticed then they didn't make a big thing of it, he was very discreet so there was no round of applause thankfully!

I have no idea how he managed to keep his cool all day on the train journey and then the IMAX and stuff!!!

I had my head in the fridge trying to find a snack to eat with a movie we were watching, he was supposed to be setting up the movie.

He said " I want to ask you something!"
I said " Mmm, there's cold pizza or beans on toast??"
he said " shut the door"
so I did and found him on his knee's with a ring...

What a romantic proposal! haha. Kind of set the standard for the rest of the marriage though which mostly involves us trying to find late night snacks to eat with a movie....

this made me smile what a lovely way to propose

We bought my ring together but i was told i wasn't allowed to have it until he was ready to give it to me (got my dream ring at a fantastic price which was too good to let go so bought it when we weren't really looking @ buying one for a few more months)

3 weeks later we went out for dinner and i had a feeling that night was the night. turned out the place we were going to had an emergency and closed early grrr. we ended up at subway LOL so knew he wouldn't do it there

Got home and was thinking oh well maybe another night. i called my mum like i do most nights and when i turned around he was standing there with ring in hand. i went really quiet and my mum got worried asking if i was ok (she had no idea lol) i whispered to her "oh s&%t he's proposing" lmao. she put it on speaker phone so my stepdad could here too

poor guy then got really nervous and began stuttering and stumbling over his words. finally got it out and nervous me just burst out laughing lol. took me a while to calm down for me to say yes. he said it was the longest 5 minutes of his life.

not the proposal he wanted to give me but personally i think it was special. a private affair in our own home

We ahd been together 3 months when Jason told me he wanted to marry me. Jason wanted to propose traditionally so he bought a ring and proposed to me on Valentines Day February 14th 2008. We got married on the 6th June this year.
