How did you propose or How did they propose to you?

[Tryharder62]

So many amazing ways to propose marriage these days. My husband liked me 32 years ago. LOL He took me to dinner. Made me a jewelry box. Yes made me one. When I opened the lid of the jewelry box at the restaurant a card said~ Will you marry me? and the ring sat there.

(If you are single ~ do a happy dance.)

Saw this today. Not for me but really cute.

Sent out 100 "Will you marry me?" PMs. First one to say yes was the winner. Second one to say yes got a set of steak knives.

If I were interested in committing economic and legal sucicide I'd go get my balls put in a jar and I'd sharpie the question onto the lid and include brick of cash with the proposal.

Simple, up front and real.

I offered to unchain her and let her out of the closet if she would marry me.

Of course I was lying, but it still broke my heart when she said no.

You guys are such romantics.

Most guys would just bring flowers and a flashy ring (all of them on sale) then park themselves on the sofa and ask: "What's for dinner."?

I don't have a romantic story, he designed my ring with my input and he and my youngest actually proposed to me on Valentine's evening after I came into the house from the gym. I was rushing to get dinner made and they were in my way in the kitchen. It was adorable but I thought we had already agreed to get married. He did make our jeweler lie to me about when the ring would be done so I was really surprised that he had it that early.

It was cute but not grand.

Jeweler is one of those words that you stare at because it doesn't seem like it's spelled correctly.

Marriage? That's like one of the commitment and responsibility things, right?

Romantic plus. That he involved your child romantic plus, plus. For me it is not the grand gestures. I am not into flowers that much because my cat wants to destroy them and they die so fast. Don't need to gain any more weight with candy. Romantic to me is when he buys me my favorite drink at the gas station and sets it by my purse so I can take it to work. It's been awhile.

It should be classified as a form of capital punishment. *nods*

[NOIRTRASH]

I got mine the the traditional way: I;M OREGNANT.

She wasn't but I'm always ready to pay my bills and own my faults, so we made a date 44 years ago.

My girlfriend and I were together on a camping holiday. We were walking through a narrow gorge on a suspended plank walkway when she hit her head on an overhanging rock face. I grabbed her as she slipped. She wouldn't have fallen into the gorge because of the safety netting but she might have injured herself.

That made me think that I didn't want to lose her, whether by her falling into a gorge or just by leaving me for someone else.

When we got to the waterfall I proposed and she accepted.

I had intended to propose during that holiday anyway but her near accident reminded me just how much I wanted to marry her.

We celebrated 45 years of marriage last week.

I asked him during New Year's Eve fireworks. He said yes, then a bit later, his feet got a bit cold. We postponed our engagement with the understanding that he'd ask later when he was done being ridiculous. So, he asked while we were sitting on the beach the following autumn. No ring, because I didn't want one. He was still in grad school, and we were poor.

Jeweler is one of those words that you stare at because it doesn't seem like it's spelled correctly.

That's because there is technically no correct spelling; "jeweler" and "jeweller" are both wrong, in each case solely because it is not the other. The study of spelling is full of surprises.

No, its a way to get your laundry done and dinner on the table when you get home from work.

And she asked me...35 years ago

That depends on whose marriage.
