I want to hear your proposal stories!

I know I've been too much of a Debbie Downer lately so I'm trying to redeem myself by getting us talking about something positive.  It's been a while since we've pulled out the proposal stories so share yours!

Re: I want to hear your proposal stories!

  • The day H quit his retail job (for his current job), he proposed.  He met me at my apt. after work.  We were going to dinner to celebrate his break from the old job.  I rushed home, jumped in the shower, and he proposed when I walked out of the bathroom.  He said he couldn't wait any longer that day.  In fact, he'd been avoiding me since he bought the ring (3 days before).  So there I was, in towels, being proposed to.  Tres romantique.  ;)

  • Fun idea.

    Let's see. We had been dating for almost 5 years so I pretty much knew it was coming, but I wasn't sure of when. For our anniversary we went to Vegas, and I wondered if it would happen while we were there or if he'd wait to do it over Christmas. We started off our flight with them saying we were a few minutes too late for the 45 minutes ahead rule, due to parking, so we got bumped to a later flight for standby. We did get the next flight, but no guarentee we'd get one after the long layover in Denver. Luckily, we did, but I was getting grumpy & tired from the long day of travel, and then we ended up with seat no were near each other. H went to ask the stewardess something, which I figured had something to do with us switching seats to sit together. He wound up asking around, and someone was nice enought to switch.

    Then right before the plane is about to take off, he gets up in the aisle and says he wants to make an announcement. He begans with saying he wants to wish everyone good luck in Vegas... (I'm thinking this is strange, but he's a really outgoing guy, so I haven't figured it out yet) ...but that he doesn't need any luck, that he is the luckiest guy in the world, because he has found the woman he wants to spend his life with. He pulls me into the aisle and I see the stewardess holding our video camera, filming,  and he gets down on his knee and proposes and everyone on the plane starts yelling and cheering. I was so completly caught off guard, he says I didn't even respond.                             

    The crew all made a big deal over it, and for the rest of the trip, every were we went, we kept having peole recognize us as "those people from the plane!" which was really neat. My H didn't want to do a quiet intimate proposal, he wanted something with an impact, and he definitely succeeded.

  • ha! DH ordered the ring from a jeweler in Vegas, I'm nosy and he sucks at keeping secrets so I knew he bought it and that is was coming. He told me there was a package to be delivered that they wouldn't drop off without a signature.

    I knew exactly what it was and beggggggged and begggggged for him to let me go to Fedex to pick it up. He gave in and I picked up my own ring. Stick out tongue Of course it was in a box and I didn't open it but I still knew what it was. 

    The next day we went to the beach at night. DH and I had this "thing" if you will he NEVER would say "will you marry me" but he'd say "will you spend the rest of your life with me" "be my wife" etc. (guess you have to know us to understand lol) and when he finally said the forbidden "will you marry me" it was amazing! Of course I cried and of course I said yes! :)  He cried too which made it even better!

    All in all it was the perfect proposal for DH and I!!

    Ha.  Agreed.

    When my DH proposed, it was one of those tax free weekends.  I was joking with H saying that weekend would be a perfect time to buy me jewelry (any jewelry, not specifically an e-ring) so he could save some money. I didn't know that jewelry didn't count for tax free.  He took my advice & bought the ring.

    When he came home, I noticed something in the pocket of his jeans.  He said it was his phone.  The same phone that was in his hands.  I kept pressing him, thinking he bought me some sort of jewelry.

    Finally, he gave up, pulled the ring out & proposed.  He said he was trying to wait to come up with a better way to pop the question, but I was being a pest.  He also didn't expect me to be home when he walked in the house.

  • It was our 5 year anniversary his turn to plan it, he picked me up straight from work he had planned a weekend at the beach we pulled up to our hotel I was super excited and surprised it was The Don Cesar! We checked in and got ready for dinner I thought he was going to propose when he came out in anew outfit (if you know my H he gets anxiety over shopping I always have to go with or do it for him) I tried looking around his pants but I saw nothing that resembled a box or a ring L

    We had a wonderful dinner came back to the room we sat outside on our balcony  I could tell he was nervous but he wasn?t doing anything! Finally I get up top grab a jacket (January) when I look he is down on one knee I couldn?t tell you what he said except your the love of my life will you marry me??! Of course I said yes! He was waiting until midnight our official anniversary.

     

    The best part was the day before he asked for my parents permission and they were throwing us a surprise e-party the next day! AND he had also planned for my best friends from Georgia to come the following weekend it was amazing!! And the ring was perfect pavet setting with each corner consisting of rose gold and pink diamonds hence proposing at the pink hotel J!!!

  • Warning, it's long:

    Rewind to Thursday, November 16th, 2006 - I had my annual review @ work. Bobby had asked me if I wanted to have lunch with him after my review since he'd be off early and I said "sure". So he strolls into my office around 11:30 with his street clothes on, not scrubs, and I asked him, "whats up with that"? He tells me he brought a change of clothes since his day was short - THAT was lie #1.

    So we leave my office and exit the elevator and lo and behold there's a stretch limo with the door open and red carpet parked in front of the building. He says "oh let's take this to lunch". THIS is when I started to freak.

    We climb in and he pops a bottle of champagne. I objected because I had to go back to work but he dismissed my "career" and told me won the lotto!!! I laugh, do a quick champagne shot, refill and begin to ask questions. Meanwhile the driver is headed to Tampa Int'l airport.  I suspected that maybe we were maybe going to CK's - the revolving restaurant atop the airport. Not a chance, the driver continues directly to the Continental terminal and pops the trunk.

    Okay, still no breakfast - no lunch and 3 refills of champagne later, I was hyperventilating and nearly vibrating at this point. The driver unloads 4 suitcases and I am staring in horror of what I was in for. I am still squealing questions and he's laughing and messing with me the entire time.

    He checked the bags while I stood away - he did not want me to know where he was abducting me to. I felt at this point I was on candid camera or some reality show and I was looking all around for the camera crew. We proceed to security and A- HAAAA!!!!  he pulls out our passports. Now I am really begin to freak out and tell him "I need to call work" blah blah blah.....he finally let me after we got through the checkpoint. Both my bosses laughed at me when I got through to them and said have a great time - don't call and we'll see you next week. WHAT is going here???????

    I find out we're headed to Newark, NJ.  Ok, a little odd, right?  Once we arrived in Newark, I find out (from peeking on Bobby's phone, shhh!) our final destination is Paris, France!!!!! I was overwhelmed and so surprised at all of this I could hardly contain my emotions.

    After a very long and tiresome 6 hour flight from Newark (leaving at 10pm), we arrive but one of our bags doesn't. The one with our dress clothes in it. Bummer. We had to go shopping. Double bummer. In Paris.....triple bummer!!

    Saturday night, fancy dinner time and we're 4th in the taxi line outside the hotel. One pulls up and the valet spits some French to him through his window and then motions/waves for us to skip the long line and get in. Maybe they think we're celebrities? I'm cool with that!! We are recklessly driven the wide open pavement roundabouts of Paris and all of a sudden the driver pulls over at a landmark bridge named Ponte Alexander III. Bob said he wants to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower at night because it sparkles for the 1st 10 mins of every hour, so we get out and I start to take pictures. Then he starts some nervous chatter about what a "perfect" day it's been and how it would be even more "perfect" if I would marry him.....I turned around and he was down on one knee holding the ring. I lost it.....I replied "OF COURSE I WILL"!!!

    So after hugging, crying, kissing, freezing/shivering for about 10 minutes, we proceed to have a romantic gourmet dinner complete with a dozen roses and champagne delivered upon our seating that he had pre-arranged. We couldn't wait to get back to the hotel to call everyone. We celebrated and celebrated and stayed up nearly the entire night just having fun calling each other "fiancee". The rest of the trip was amazing, beautiful and romantic as can be.

  • It was our anniversary (January 19), and my H told me to "write a speech" about our relationship and we would share later (yes, cheesy, but very him).

    We were living in Washington, D.C. at the time, and when I got home from work that day we got bundled up and went out to walk around the monuments at night, which is my favorite time to enjoy them. We walked down to the Lincoln Memorial (my favorite) and sat on the steps looking out at the Reflecting Pool and Washington Monument. We cuddled under a blanket and talked for a while, then I read him the letter I wrote him. As I read it, he started shaking. I just thought he was cold! Then he read something he wrote for me, and at the end, he got out from under the blanket, got on one knee and pulled out a ring. I was completely shocked and started crying instantly. Tourists were staring, I was a mess, the whole bit. Afterwards I didn't want to put my gloves back on even though it was freezing, so my hand was just cold. I remember riding the Metro back home and just staring at my ring.

    The whole thing was very "us," and he did a great job of keeping it a surprise. I was so sure he wasn't even ready to think about getting married yet that in my "speech" I didn't even mention anything along those lines because I didn't want to freak him out. He apparently is a very good actor! It was a great surprise!

  • As some of you know, H and I were long distance while I was in grad school so during my many visits down to FL we would always go sit on this bench by a "lake" (manmade retention thing), it was just our thing......so while I was living here one summer doing an internship, one Friday we were going to do some errands but he went in the opposite direction of the store, I told him he went the wrong way, he said he was going the back way, then he missed the next turn and again was like helloooo where are you going....and he said he wanted to stop at our bench. (I am oblivious still at this point). We get there, sit down, and he just gets down on one knee......I can't even tell you what he said I was in such shock!! But it was so sweet and "us"

  • After our first date DH was walking me to my car; I was excited that I was going to get a good night kiss, as I hadn't had any action in awhile.  We turned the corner and there was a group of about five women my mother's age standing next to my car.  My heart sunk thinking that they had ruined all chance.  Anyway, we were having our akward good bye's with an audience, and I reached into my purse to get my keys and accidently set off my car alarm.  DH ran gave me a super quick hug and disappeared in 10 seconds.  He thought I'd set it off to scare him away. Anyway it took quite a bit of convinincing that I wasn't trying to get rid of him, and it became a big joke that the parking lot could have ended it for us.

    Long story short, I knew he was proposing the night he did, but he drove his car to the parking garage, and parked as close to the spot where the "alarm situation" occured.  He said this spot could have been the end of us before there was an us, but I'd like it to be the spot we start the rest of our lives ... will you marry me?

  • Tasha and Kristina, can your husbands give mine a call and give him some pointers?  Wink

    I suppose I owe the practicality of our engagement to the practicality of our relationship.  I told DH pretty early on that I was looking for a long-term commitment and not dating just for the fun of it.  I had a kid and I wasn't going to introduce a string of men into her life.  We were on the same page and he said his one requirement was that he wanted to be done with school first.

    So a week after he graduated, he came home from work and said he wanted to take DD out for ice cream.  I didn't think much of it.  About 30 minutes later they came home and DD came through the door first.  She walked over to me and handed me something small and round.  At first I thought it was piece of candy or something.  When DH walked through the door he just looked and me like he was waiting for me to say something.  That's when I looked down and noticed that what I was holding was one of those little vending machine bubbles with a toy ring inside.  No big speech, no down on one knee, he just smiled and said "Will you marry me?" 

    Part of me was a little let down that he didn't actually plan anything particularly romantic out.  He said he had wanted DD to be a part of it and that once he graduated he just couldn't wait to ask me.  The fun part was being able to completely pick out my own ring.  I still have the original and and I was even a dork and wore it for a while until it started to turn brown.  Embarrassed

  • Tasha, can you post the video somewhere??  That is an incredibly sweet proposal.  I am literally crying reading everyone's stories because I am a hot pregnant mess!!
  • DH pulled out the proposal the first time while I was driving.  We were talking about a cruise we were planning on taking and he said something about how he wished we could just run off and get married and I laughed and looked at him and said are you serious.  He said yes.  I told him to shut up.  He said he really wanted to marry me.  I told him I would.  Three months later he made it official with a ring (after asking my mom for permission).  THis time he propsed in the parking lot while I was trying to get out of the car.  He was too choked up to actually say anything and just handed me the ring.  I still tease him to this day that he never really actually proposed to me.
  • We went out to celebrate my birthday (early January).  H wouldn't tell me any of the plans he made.  First we went to mini golf, then we went to dinner at Flemings.  At dinner he handed me a small gift bag for my birthday present.  I was so excited thinking this was it (he was going to propose!).  I open the gift and it was a a gift certificate for a day at the Safety Harbor Spa.  I was disappointed (and he could tell), but tried to play it off.  I wanted a ring!  Once I realized that this was my b-day gift, I figured there was no way it was going to happen that night.

    So after dinner we headed to Clearwater Beach and sat in chairs that he brought.  He pulled out champagne (my first and only time having Dom Perignon) and we had a toast.  We were talking about life and the future and whatnot and he ended up pulling out a ring and proposing.  I was so surprised!  Since I had already resigned to the fact we weren't getting engaged, it was unexpected. 

    I was crying and so overly happy.  I just couldn't believe it finally happened.  We had been dating for 3 years and from the get go I was upfront about the fact I was looking for a long term relationship (marriage).  H and I met through a dating service (this was in 2000 before online dating was around).

    I love my H.  Thanks for the poll as it brings back some wonderful memories that I hadn't thought of in a while.  I need to remember the good times to help when we are dealing with tough ones.  I am very lucky to have such a wonderful, caring H.

  • DH and I had dated for about 5 years so I had a feeling this was coming but just didnt know when. We were on a cruise and one of the stops was St. Thomas. I told him I wanted to do the sky ride and he agreed which is completely not like DH since he can be a little on the cheap side sometimes. :)

    So that morning we got ready and headed to the sky ride, there was a child by himself and I went to get into the sky bucket with the kid and DH said no lets go in one by ourself. I felt bad for the poor kid by himself but agreed as DH was very stern on us going by ourself. On our way up he got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. Of course I said yes!!!

  • We had been dating for close to 2.5 years.  One Sunday we got in a weird argument after church, but resolved and went back to his parents house.  He asked if I wanted to go for a walk, which was weird, since it was Feb 8, and he doesn't like to be outside when its "cold".  So we walked down to his old elementary school.  The gate was open, which it usually isn't.  We walked out to the playground and there was a US map painted on the ground.  If you know me well, you know I love maps/geography.  So he asked me to stand on my favorite state, so I did (IL).  He said all these nice things, then asked me stand on my 2nd favorite, so I did (FL).  Then he said how happy he was I moved here, blah blah blah, pulled out the ring and voila, we were engaged.  Turns out he had designed the ring himself and had it made back in September (he had gotten paid for a big job, so he had the $$), and was just waiting for the right time.  Needless to say, I was very surprised, especially since he had none of that planned, but it really worked out perfectly.
  • (Sorry, mine's long too, and a bit bittersweet) DH and I had been dating for almost three years when he decided in July '07 that he wanted us to make a trip up to his native Canada (he was born and lived in Calgary, Alberta until he was about 10).  His grandfather was very sick at the time and he wanted to make sure he was able to go up and see him before he passed, and he wanted the two of us to be able to get away for awhile.  I'd originally suspected that he was planning on proposing (I'd known since December that he had the ring), but he repeatedly said that the main purpose of this trip was for his grandfather and that he hoped I'd understand the situation and not expect anything.  Of course after he said that I felt so guilty, so I didn't really give it another thought.

    We flew into Calgaray and immediately went to see DH's grandfather, which was extremely hard for him, so we decided to stay that night in Calgary and decompress for a bit.  The next morning we ventured about an hour north to Banff National Park in the mountains, where we were going to stay for the next few days.  We were a bit early getting in, so DH decided to try to find a riding stable near the hotel to kill time.  He knows that I love horseback riding, so we went for an hour long trail ride up the mountains and along the Bow River and saw some great scenery. 

    Instead of checking in then, we decided to head over to Sulphur Mountain and take the gondola ride up to the lookout at the summit.  We had lunch at the top of the mountain and got some breathtaking views of the Canadian Rockies.  We'd planned to walk over to one of the neighboring lookouts, but the mountain top was swarming with mosquitos.  Poor DH is a mosquito magnet and was getting eaten alive from head to toe!  We decided to head over to the hotel (stopping to pick up some bug repellant and Benadryl for DH on the way).  Much to my surprise, DH hadn't booked a room at the lodge hotel in town like we'd discussed.  He'd booked us a suite at the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel, which looks like a beautiful Scottish-style castle. 

    We checked in and walked around the hotel for a bit before DH mentioned going down to see the Bow River Falls behind the hotel.  He suggested that we take a vacation video there of us saying hi to our folks back in the states, and silly me fell for it.  So we head over the falls and he sets up the camera to film us.  After walking back over to me, we start waving to the camera, and as I went to lean on him, he pulled away from me and dropped to his knee.  DH is a bit of a joker and has done this several times in the past, only to pretend to tie his shoe or pick up a penny or something. So at first I didn't believe him, and I asked if he was kidding, and he just looked and me and smiled and then started talking about how much he loved me.  He said he wanted to bring me to one of the most beautiful places that he knew to propose to me and then he pulled out the ring and asked if I'd marry him.  I was in complete shock, but of course I said yes!
     
    We'd planned to celebrate that night, but unfortunately as we sat down at the restaurant, DH's brother (who had just flown in to Calgary that morning with DH's parents) called to tell us that DH's grandfather had just passed away, so we drove back to Calgary to be with his family.  His grandmother was so sweet and didn't want to talk about anything but our engagement, and when I kept trying to dismiss it since it seems so trivial at that point, she told us that there was no reason not to celebrate and be happy.  That even though they'd lost a member of the family, they'd gained another one, and it was a silver lining to a sad time.  We rearranged our vacation plans around the funeral, and we both were able to spend a lot of time with DH's family, which was an unforseen blessing.  We went to the Calgary Stampede with DH's parents and were able to spend some quality time together and reflect on everything.  All in all, it was an amazing trip.

    Sorry for the downer ending to the story, but here's the link to the video I made about the proposal (which is much happier): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zyrq1bwIEUI

  • Brie, when I saw you posted your engagement story suddenly came back to me from back in the day.  It's a really sweet story.  I think even those of us with more romantically challenged husbands have some pretty sweet stories.  I think it's cute when guys get all nervous and excited about proposing.
  • Jaunary 2nd is sort of our unofficial dating anniversary. On Janaury 2, 2007 we had been dating for 10 years. I was losing all hope of ever getting married and I was seriously beginning to question our relationship. I had been finished with nursing school since May of 2006 and he still hadn't proposed yet. Little did I know, that when he was in CT with his family over Christmas, he had taken up his mom's offer for the diamond in her e-ring (that had also belonged to H's grandmother). He had it reset and had it with him when he came home on January 2nd. Since we had been apart for Christmas, we were sitting in front of our tree opening Christmas presents. We had just finished, when he fulled out a little box. He had given me jewelry before, so I never expected there to be an e-ring inside! Of course I was crying at this point and he asked me to marry him! :) He said he had wanted to propose on the beach or somewhere different, but he couldn't wait and it seemed like the right time. When we called my family they thought I was joking, lol! Apparently they had lost all hope too! ;) 14 years later, here we are!

    sorry if you have already read this, but I found the exact wording I did for my intro on TK on my computer last week so I'll just post it here:

     

    He and I enjoy being outdoors and going on long walks and hikes. A few weeks back he had asked me if I would block off Friday evening to spend with him for a date night. (of course I wasn't going to turn that down). As the day got closer he told me that the date was time sensitive and that we would have to leave at noon. So while it was Black Friday my mom and I were out shopping, so my mom and I met him at Subway for lunch so we could head on our way.

    The night before he had given me 2 hints about where we were going. 1) I have been to this place before 2) I had mentioned wanting to go back ? Neither of these were true.

    We went to Bok Towers to take a walk through the gardens as well as go through A House that had been built in 1932 and each year designers come and make each room festive. After having gone through the house we came to the spot with a beautiful overlook that is claimed to be the highest spot in FL. We hadn?t made it to the tower yet so we went on and took pictures of the beautiful tower as well as the 2 swans that were in the pod surrounding the tower.  We continue to the other side where there was another beautiful outlook overlooking an orange grove. There was another family around having a picnic but we went to a bench and just sat there cuddling for a little bit enjoying the cooler weather.

    He began asking me a few questions:

    ?What is today?s date??

    ?November 27th, why??

    ?I thought it was the 26th?

    ?No Thanksgiving was  yesterday on the 26th?

    ?Oh, well does today have any special meaning??

    ?No, why??

    This is where he got down on one knee and said. ?Well it?s going to be ;I told you this was your favorite place; will you marry me?

    I don?t know if he said much after that. I said of course and couldn?t stop kissing him (so I don?t think he did say much more)
