Anyone got any enviable tales of proposal?

My birthday is August 20th. My H2B one night in front of the TV remarked that my birthday next year falls on a Saturday and maybe we should pick it as our wedding day. I was suprised by his remark as we were not actually engaged. I said "is that a proposal" (jokingly) and he reached under the sofa - produced a bunch of lilles (my fav) and a bottle of champagne, and a ringbox - shrugged his shoulders and said "well I hadn't given it much thought, but yeah if ya like" I laughed so much that i forgot to say yes. it was the most romantic unromantic moment of my life Very Happy

Awwe thats really sweet. Mine asked me when we were out on a picnic in the countryside. It was really special, although he hadn't purchased the ring at that time as it was impromptu

Suited me, i got to pick my own. He probs would have got something out of a toy machine Shocked

H2B took me away for a dirty weekend and popped the question in a restaurant. I think it was the new underwear that did it Wink

Made a change from the grey bra and unmatching granny pants Embarassed

ahem mine is slightly similar. He proposed after a bit of hows your father Embarassed

When I told family and friends I waz engaged the first question is how/when he proposed. We just had to say that it was just mentioned in discussion Embarassed

My proposal was a deliberately orchastrated ploy. I spent months hinting and hinting and showing him the sort of ring I would like, and discussing aspects of marriage that i thought he might be interested in. (like stag nights, and me going out for girls nights out with big blinging jewels on my left hand therefore warning off any potential chatting up)

Eventually he gave in bless him.

hehe at least your honest raych

I think most girlz do a bit of hinting

I was proposed to on our holiday in cyprus. He hadn't bought the ring at the time, just said it felt like the natural thing to do at the time Very Happy

my boyfriend was so obvious! He isn't good with money so for a while he was getting money out of his account when he got paid and giving it to his mum for safe keeping (safe as in out of his and my reach) I asked him what he was saving up for and he told me a new van!! Seeing as he was giving his mum about 40 per month I considered this very strange as It would take him about a decade to save up and I did suss him out (with the help of several gossip sessions with my mates) I had to act really suprised when he took me out for a meal at a very nice restaurant (something we don't do regularly were more of a nite down the pub kinda people) It did kind of spoil it a bit knowing what was coming but he did try bless him

last new years eve as the bells struck in the new year. It was a big suprise for me and for him as he told me after he hadn't planned it. Good for me as I got to choose the ring I wanted Very Happy

Well my h2b never proposed, we had always discussed marriage, leaving the actual decision open as we both had failed marriages behind us, plus I was at Uni when we met (I was a VERY mature student!!). I always said I would like to re marry as it did'nt "feel right" just living together. My h2b was'nt bothered either way..he was happy as we were.

We had always said after 3yrs together & I finished Uni, that if we were still together...then we would talk about the wedding thing...so we've now been together 3 years, We had some spare money so bought a ring, booked the church for 6th August 2005...& here I am planning a wedding.

Not romantic at all...but h2b loves me enough to marry me even though he was happy as we were because he knows how important marriage is to me...........NOW that to me is very special...don't you think?

Mine has to be the strangest. We were on a night out 6 of us. I told a joke, everyone laughed (for a change) and my chap turned to me still laughing and said "your so funny, I love you.........(long pause)........will u marry me. Nobody else on the table heard it because they had started chatting again. I was not sure if he meant it or if it was just something he said. so i said "what" and he shushed everyone on the table while he got down and did it properly. Everyone was in tears

No he didn't have a ring in his pocket, but thats the beauty of being spontanious.

Oh and of course I said yes.

And before you ask, I can't even remember the joke now
