So when DH proposed was it romantic?

Mine was not, it went like this... So we been living together for 3 years we might as well get married... LOL Gotta love DH straight to the point!

Re: So when DH proposed was it romantic?

  • Mine was....which is totally out of character for DH! He proposed while we were at a tree farm picking out our Christmas tree!

  • no, not really.  it was Christmas morning and I had to use the bathroom before we opened gifts... the ring box was sitting in plain view on a shelf when I went in. When I came out he knew I had seen it and knew it was coming.

  • My proposal was awesome and I would never have guessed it was coming when he did it.

    Mine: At the Gaylord Palms ICE show he had "Will you marry me?" Carved into a 400lb block of ice. It was set up in this little hallway that tons of people had to walk by throughout the day. We finally get to it and I said "Oh, how cute, someone proposed!" and then I turned around and it was HIM on his knee. The rest of the story around that is a little longer, but that's the gist of it.

  • sort of. DH was coaching and I had been involved for a while since we were dating. So I showed up at his apartment the day of the end of season banquet and he said, "I'm giving the kids and helpers these sweats and t-shirt. Can you go try yours on to make sure they fit?" So I did. When I went downstairs he made me check the pockets and the ring was in one. He asked me to "make him miserable for the rest of his life" and I said yes of course.

    It was fitting of our relationship so romantic, but not by the definition of romantic. lol

  • Mine was pretty sweet... I have always had a stuffed animal addiction (i need to join a group). We moved into our house a few days before my B-Day, and he gave me my presents early. After I opened a few his disappeared and returned with a Build-a-bear box.

    Inside the box were 2 bears, a bride and a groom bear facing each other with the groom bear holding the ring. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.

    In the Pic below you can see the 2 bears on out gift table:

  • sort of...He said something about having a sparkle in my eye, and I said that I wanted a sparkle on my finger. He came downstairs 2 minutes later and asked if I wanted my Valentines present early, so I said sure (it was Feb 12) and he got down on one knee. He apparently bought my ring earlier that day, and he was so excited that he couldn't wait, which I think is romantic. He had planned to wait to propose until May, but that didn't happen!
  • Nope. It was on the back porch of his (then) house.

  • Mine was. It was totally unexpected! He was visiting for the weekend(long distance relationship) and was leaving that night. We were saying goodbye and all and he made me sit down in the chair on my porch and got down on one knee! My mouth dropped open! It was so unexpected! But I very happily said yes!!!

  • Not at all!! We were in the car ride home from spending time with his family. He turns to me, while driving, and says "hey I'm ready lets get married." I just looked at him like okay??? it wasn't till 2 days later he hands me a box and says "oh yeah here I got you something". I looked at him and said 'well I guess that's my whole big romantic proposal" he just shrugged and said "well do I really seem like the whole get down on one knee kinda guy"

  • Not really.  I was doing laundry and he came out of the bedroom saying he had a question for me.  Of course I wasn't expecting it, so I told him to hold on a minute. 

    When I started walking towards him he pulled out the box from behind his back and got down on one knee.  He cried, I cried...then he goes, "Crap!  I forgot to ask your dad first!"  I told him they approved, but we ended up calling my parents moments after it happened.  My mom was in hysterics and emailed everyone under the sun the good news!

  • Yes.  hundreds of candles and loads of rose petals and a bottle of champagne, and the bended knee thing.  I am not really into romance, but he is, and so he balanced it out by doing it at home, and not out in public.  It was pretty awesome.

  • Oh , mine definitely was fabulous. very romantic and memorable .. it was in the middle of the fireworks on the fourth of july in the middle of a huge thunderstorm.. he got on his knee in the pouring rain.. I wouldnt change it for anything !
  • Not even. No surprise factor at all. We had been talking about it for a while and I even picked out my own ring. He just came and slid onto the bed beside me and said, "So, are you gonna marry me or what?" I was like WTH? He didn't even get one one knee. LOL

  • It was romantic in that it was a marriage proposal and he got down on one knee. But it was most definitely not over the top...I was drying my hair in the bathroom when he did it.

  • Kind of, I guess... we just decided we were going to get married. I picked out my ring, he bought it and we started planning our wedding. Then one night while we visiting my parents in TX (before we moved here), we were laying in my brothers bed and I was playing with my ring and he took it off my finger. He rolled over so he was looking directly at me and said "Ya know, I never actually proposed." I laughed and said "No I guess not." So he went into this speech about how much he loves me and knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. By this time, I was bawling. He kissed me sooo softly and whispered "Will you make me the happiest man in the world?" And put my ring back on my finger.

    Ok so I guess it was pretty sweet. lol

    Yes they do mine is great! I hate it that he's gone 24hrs...  

  • Mine was too. DH surprised me by turning our kitchen into his version of our favorite Italian restaurant in Auburn, Provino's. He ordered take out from there, and after we ate, we decided to listen to some music and dance. While we were goofing around dancing, he got down on one knee and proposed.

  • Mine was and totally surprised me.  It was a random Weds. I was having a terrible week at work and DH had said he wanted to make me a special dinner (DH is a chef) to make me feel better.  Long story short, got home had a gourmet meal waiting for me, with tons of candles, champagne, still was clueless during the meal and at the end he had made me a special cookie and put it in the cookie...when I found it he got down on one knee. 

     

  • Yep, we were unwrapping Christmas presents and the last thing he gave me was a box of candy canes. He said that he thought we needed to put some on the tree since there wasn't any. My e-ring was on an ornament that we bought that said "Our first Christmas Together"

  • We were in Rome walking in the shopping district. He spots a fountain and said let's go over there.  Earlier in the day we had done shopping and he asks me if he can give me some of the things.  I say sure, I turn to him, he's holding a ring and he asks me to be his wife.  Classic story that all friends and family knew except for me! After his brother graduated college last year he backpacked through Europe, and found the fountain in Rome where we got engaged.
  • Sort of. We were at my parent's house for dinner. Afterwards, when we were all just chatting in the living room, he said he had a poem to read. It was a sweet poem. (I was thinking..."this is weird.") And then we just kept chatting. In the next silence, he said, "Mr. and Mrs. Martin, I'd like to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage." Before they could respond, he was on one knee with a ring out and asking me. My mom was shouting " Say yes, Say yes!" I honestly don't know that I actually said yes. I just pulled him up off his knee and and put the ring on and kissed him.

  • Mine was totally romantic, but I nearly ruined it.  We went up to my parent's house for Easter and I was sick.  I didn't want to move off the couch.  On Saturday, DH wanted to go for a walk.  I wouldn't go for it, I felt too crappy.  On Sunday, he bugged again to go for a walk, but I didn't want to go.  My mom convinced me to get out and enjoy the fresh Muskoka air (snow on the ground, and falling, ice still on the lake).  DH proposed on the dock by the lake.  Apparently, that is what he'd been trying to do all weekend.  Doh!
  • Oh yes.  I still get a little weepy thinking about it Smile
  • Mine was veryyy romantic! I am a lucky girl! It was Easter of 2006, the day we made 5 years dating. He brought me to our condo that was almost finished being built and had dinner there (on blankets on the floor, lol). I had 2 easter eggs by my plate and he told me I can open them when I was done. So, I opened the egg and it had some candy with a clue as to where the next egg was. Finally after about 20 eggs, my ring was in the last one. It was super sweet!
  • My DH proposed in Central Park under a small foot bridge near the seals at the zoo.. it was raining a little bit, so we were under an umbrella... no one was really around, so it was perfect!

  • Mine was amazing. First I am Catholic and when we met I teased him that he was only 3/4 Catholic because he had not been Confirmed.  When we started to get serious and talk marriage he got confirmed at the church I have gone to my whole life (and still do).  We had looked at rings and what not and I kept thinking he would propose soon, every week I would say "do we have any plans this weekend".  So one Thursday I came home from work and I was talking to my mom and my DD in the kitchen.  My daughter would barely look at me, she had her head buried in her homework.  I went to the bathroom, went back to the kitchen and then finally went to my room.  On my bed was a dozen roses and an envelope.  I knew what was going on.  Turns out he had taken a half day and come over to ask my dad's permission eariler and he had plotted this all out with my DD days before.  Couldn't believe she kept the secret!!

    I opened the envelope and it had a letter telling me lovey stuff with a question at the end I had to answer and then my DD would give me the next envelope - (answer was place of our first date).  Next one was where we first kissed, next one was place he first told me he loved me.  Last clue said that I had helped him to complete a journey (getting confirmed) and so I was to go to that place which was also where we would begin our journey together.  So I had to drive to our church (shaking) and he was sitting there in a suit in the same pew he had sat in the night he was confirmed (he got bored and counted pews that night).  The first words out of my mouth were "are you allowed to do this here?".  He said he was and he got down on one knee and proposed.  Then we raced home showed off the ring and I got dressed up and we went out to dinner.

    Sorry so long, nothing less does it justice.
