OK, I'll play.

My ex-wife isn't much of a jewelry person so after dating for a year I really had no idea what kind of jewelry she liked. One day we were walking around a mall and I suggested we should just look around some jewelry stores so I could get an idea for what kind of rings she likes (at this point we both knew we were getting married eventually we just weren't in any rush). So we looked through a few stores and she didn't really like anything she saw until she found this one ring. She lit up so brightly that every saleswoman in the store immediately came over, she literally just fell in love with this ring insantly (and it was freakin gorgeous, probably the most brilliant ring I've ever seen). Unfortunately it was $5000 and she didn't want a ring worth more than a couple hundred because 1) she works on a farm, and 2) she rarely wears rings anyway. Plus we were saving for the wedding. So we decided it was too much and left it at that.

The next day I went back and bought the ring, talked them down to $4400 too.

But it was too soon to propose, so I just held onto the ring and waited for a good time to spring it on her. 8 months later we took a week off for vacation. Instead of going anywhere fancy we just took little trips around home all week long. One day, it was a sunny Thursday in the Fall, we took the Jeep off-roading in some mountains out in the middle of nowhere. Packed a picnic and a cooler and worked our way up to the top of the highest mountain for a fantastic view and had a long lazy lunch there. After we ate we did a little short hiking around the summit, got to the very highest spot on the mountain (spectacular view of the valleys) and it was there that I dropped on one knee and asked her to marry me. When she saw the ring she literally freaked and started giggling like a little school girl, when she could talk again her actual first words were "you fucking bastard!". Then she proceeded to maul me sexually for the next two hours, right on that mountaintop. It wasn't until hours later when we were walking back to the Jeep that I realized she hadn't actually given me an answer. She then said "Hell Yes I'll marry you".


That happened over 6 years ago, but it seems like just yesterday to me.

awwwwww thats nice. Sucks it did not work out in the end

I'm a total sucker for romance, but i've never really had a proposal.
like a total dork, every year at valentines day i start crying at the diamond commercials- the ones where the guy gets down on his knee in a crowded square or surprises her when she's not expecting it.

Why? Would your SO surprising you with diamonds in a crowded square mean that much to you? I'm not trying to question the reaction, I just don't understand it.

I thought you were married?

When my husband proposed to me I didn't realize it was a full out proposal. I was 18 and had just graduated high school a few weeks prior and he was 20. We were hanging out in my bedroom and I was sitting on the edge of the bed and he was kneeling on the floor in front of me. When he asked if I'd be his wife I was thinking like...someday in the far distant future kinda question and I said yes but then he got very serious and told me he wouldn't accept my answer until a week had gone by and I had time to really think about it. A week later I was still saying yes and we went together to pick out my ring. He wanted to get me something larger, but I was never much for showy jewelry so I picked out less than half a karat round stone, the setting was very unique. We were married a few months later in City Hall with just our parents and our 2 witnesses, no reception or honeymoon, we didn't want to waste the money.

So...a couple of months ago our 20th anniversary was approaching. We'd been very busy with little time to spend together, so one Sunday (4 weeks before our anniversary) he said he wanted to take me down to the beach to watch the sunset and have a bite to eat at this fancy place, just the two of us. We're sitting there reminissing about the past 20 yrs. and I brought up how I didn't realize he was proposing to me when he asked me to marry him.

Well, I guess things haven't changed much because when he asked me if I'd be his wife and marry him again, I didn't think he was proposing and actually I teased him by delaying my "yes" answer. Just like last time, he got very serious on me, took my hand and asked me to marry him again, this time in a church with friends and family there, and he pulled out a new diamond ring. I was speachless but managed to say yes inbetween tears. People came over and congradulated us, little did they know we're already married 20 yrs.

Him asking me to be his wife again after all that time meant more to me than his original proposal. He had already spoken with the minister and had the church reserved, our wedding/renewal of vows was on our 20th anniversary. We wrote our own vows and there wasn't a single dry eye in the church (even the guys cried). He later told me that he was nervous proposing to me again. Right before we left to go to the beach he told our daughter that he was going to ask me to marry him again. She was anxiously waiting for a call to see if I said yes or not. LOL When he called her I asked her to be my flower girl and she said "Thank you for making my dream come true, I've always wanted to be a flower girl!"

We had a reception back home, food catered but I did the decorating and kept it fairly simple to about 40 people. The party got kinda wild towards later in the evening after older friends and family members had left. Everyone in the hot tub, doing body shots, dancing, lap dances, etc. We went to bed around 4am, friends stayed over, and at 6am we woke up with the news that a hurricane was hitting us in a few hrs. So...long story short, our wedding reception turned into a hurricane party and people were stuck at our house for 3 days. It was a blast!

I proposed to my wife when I was 20 and she was 19. My band was playing at a university a couple hours away from home. She rode with me to the show. It was going to be a big show and we were all pretty excited about it. At this point, I had already started making payments on the ring but I was waiting until the right time to pay it off and actually propose to her. I had written a new song that was about her and we were playing it for the first time at this show. So I started thinking that maybe tonight would be the right time. So I told her I had to stop by my bank to take out some cash. The bank was right next to the jewelry store, so I snuck in, payed off the ring and put it in my pocket. I got back in the car and we went on our way. I was so nervous I could barely speak. We got to the venue and set up. We played our first two sets and the crowd was huge and really getting into the show. During our break before the third set, I told the rest of the band that I wanted to end the show with the new song, and during the solo, I was going to propose to my lady. They all started freaking out. They were already nervous due to the huge crowd (biggest show we had played at this point) and that we had never played the song in concert before. So we started the third set and then before the last song I slipped backstage and threaded a broken guitar string through the ring and then looped it over the headstock of my guitar. I went back on stage and my vocalist announced that this was our last song. My lady was right up against the stage cheering and shit. I sing lead vocals and play lead guitar for this particular song. So I start playing and singing the song and my future wife starts yelling at me that I have a broken string. She is freaking out because she thinks that one of my strings is busted and I won't be able to play the solo right and shit. Between verses I mouth to her "Look again". She looks closer and sees the ring hanging there. She instantly started bawling her eyes out and the people near her start freaking out too. Then the solo came. I use a wireless setup, so I walked off the stage, through the crowd to her and then kneeled down and proposed while playing the solo. The crowd went nuts. It was awesome. Between tears she said yes.

My wife knew I did`nt like going out much and stuff, so when I asked her to go out on a rainy, windy, almost hurricane-like conditions night to go see the big Christmas tree in New York, she said yes. We were at her house at 9 or 10PM and the weather would have kept anyone inside that night, the Ice skating rink was even closed that night (2 days before Christmas) because of the horrible conditions. My plan was to somehow propose to her under the tree or on the ice right next to the tree, but since the rink was closed, I had to think of something else really quick.

We walked around a little bit while the gears were spinning in my head. All this time she had no idea. Then we saw some street vendors by the tree who took pictures of you with whatever happened to be there. I thought I would ask him to snap a pic WHILE I was asking/proposing to her, that would have made an awesome thing to have for memories. As I got closer to the guy, he did`nt seem to speak english too well, so I ditched that plan... lol I did`nt wanna take any chances, I could only do this once. Keep in mind there`s strong winds and rain is practically horizontal and COOOOLD.

THEN IT HAPPENED, I see a horse and buggy ride where you go all around the city sitting in the back, that was what I would do. We get in and start going all around, at midway or so, I start telling her how happy she`s been making me and all the stuff to precede "the question". lol EVERY single time I started to talk, the driver would ask us some stupid ass question like "So, you on vacation?" or "How`s everything so far?" or... something to keep me from proposing! dman him!!!

Anyway, he finally shuts up for 2 minutes straight and I got on one knee and proposed while we were riding in the horse and carraige in the middle of New York City 2 days before Christmas. SHE SAID YES. and was very happy and excited. As I was down on one knee asking, a limo beside us rolled down their window and snapped a picture of us. lol They rolled the window back up, and took off, I never saw them again. I wish I had THAT pic.

We were engaged for about 2 years and married for 8 now.









We have sex every single Christmas. It`s coming soon, I can`t wait, 12 months of waiting is hell.
