Re: Poll: When you got engaged were you surprised?

  • #3 ~ We knew that we were going to get married but were not officially engaged.  I was so surprised when he proposed on my dad's birthday which just happened to be Valentines Day.  He even had his mom and dad there. 

  • 3 - I knew he was going to propose and thought it would be that night (dating anniversary) but didn't expect it when he actually did it.?

  • #3 - I had no clue it would be that night and was confused at the way he was acting....all my friends with us that evening did know though!  When we met up later I went to tell them and it was kind of sad because they all knew.

  • #3-We actually had the wedding date set for about 2 months before we were officially engaged.  We knew we wanted to get married in the spring, so the June before, we booked the church, hall, DJ & photographer so we'd get them in time.  But we didn't get the ring or announce it until August, and I was surprised when it actually happened.

  • #2. I was floored. I knew it was going to happen soon but I had no idea he'd do it on our annual Black River float trip in front of 30 friends. I still think he's nuts for bringing the ring with him in the canoe.

  • 2) I was totally surprised, mostly because I thought he was a burglar in our apartment when I got home!  I knew we would be engaged eventually, but we were in the process of moving and there was a lot going on, so I wasn't expecting it at all. 

     

  • I was totally surprised!  I wasn't expecting it for a few more months b/c money was tight.  I didn't know he had been secretly saving money for a while.  He had been joking about not proposing for a while, so when he actually did, I thought he was joking at first.  I kept saying "Are you serious?"

  • #3 -->  I knew he was going to propose, and I knew it was going to be soon (since I knew he was going to use the money he got from selling his truck and he had just sold it)...  But I was very surprised when it happend, mostly because it was a weekday and I had had a terrible day at work and he knew it, and because of that when I got to his house to visit I wasn't in a super good mood and I felt like I didn't look that great (was wearing jeans and a red jacket).  Funny thing is, today (Feb. 16) is our 3rd "engagement anniversary" Smile 

  • #2 - i had no idea. He proposed thanksgiving night as we were snuggling on the couch. he had no ring though - he wasnted me to pick out one i loved :) i was so floored that i was speechless. it took a minute for it to sink in and for me to say yes.
  • #1. We had been talking about it, I had picked out my ring & he was just making too big a deal about lunch that day.
