Those those of us that were ever married or are married...

[SkyBluAngelEyes]

How did you propose to your spouse??

How long did you know and date before marrying?

Just kinda curious about these things...

Ugh. He proposed, rather traditionally, on my 20th birthday. We married 13 months later and divorced 13 years after that. I do not recommend getting married at such a young age!

 

[fgarvb1]

I don't know what the fuck happened!

There we were driving down a farm road to my timeshare and i heard myself saying, Randy (Deranda) why don't we get married?

Why? WHY did i do it? At what point did i go stupid?

I had life great. Dated who i wanted to when i wanted to and had a hell of a good time. I had sex at least ten times more than i do now.

I was trapped i tell you! Trapped!

It was her tits, tight ass and perfume...that was ten years ago and now i'm lost in the twilight zone.

He never rally propsed it was just sort of assumed we would get married.We got together January of 95 We had been together two years living together for all of it when we picked our date. We got married in sept of 98 and seperated in April of 2002. I figure we should be divorced by the new year.

We lived together for three years.

Then, one fateful night, the little test strip had a "+" sign.

He said, " I guess we oughta get married then."

I said," Okay, if you really want to."

And the rest is history.

(including the divorce!)

 

[peachykeen]

One day he called me from work and said, "My company wants to send me to live in London for a few years, pay me more money and pay most of my living expenses."

I said, "When?"

He said, "Four months. But you can't come with me, unless we get married."

I said, "Well, ok, if we have to."

 

[complicity]

She proposed to me in bed, somewhere between my neck and my groin area. No it was definately my groin area. And it took us a year to organise over the phone.

Been there, done that... I married at 18. Way to young to have a functioning brain, for me anyway.. I filed for divorce on our second wedding anniversary. Touche`

what train? what track?

DUH!! *looking around*

We just kind of knew after dating a few times that we would be together. We knew we wanted to wait a bit before doing the deed. He proposed in bed one night. We decided to wait a year and a half, when he got his degree.

6 months later, my bitch of a roommate kicked me out of my apartment, and we moved up the date from a year to 6 weeks.

That was 13 years ago, my divorce just came through this week.

That is so interesting... My second husband never proposed...it was just kind of assumed we would be married. Hell, there wasn't even romance. It was just a given we would get married.

I'm finding that this is pretty normal. Is it just a given that the two people should end up together? Is it more un-common now than the romantic man gets down on one knee? I've only ever seen that in the movies anyway.... does anyone ask the bride's-to-be father for her hand or for his blessing?

Seriously, I've not had a thing to drink today... Just thinking out loud.

I had some practice with my first two wives. I got better. This is how I proposed to my wife of the past 11 years.

We had dated for a bit over a year. We made plans to drive from Houston, up through Hot Springs and Eureka Springs, Arkansas and down to my parents home in north Louisiana. This was the week of Thanksgiving, and the purpose was to introduce her to my parents.

Without her knowledge, I had just purchased three acres on the tip of a peninsula that sticks out into a Lake about an hour north of Houston. I managed to time our departure from Houston so as to be driving by the lake just as the sun was begining to set. I drove the few miles off the main road down to the property I had just bought. We got out of the car, and walked down to the water, to watch the sunset. I told her that I had just bought that piece of land. Then I told her it was because I wanted to spend weekends there, with her, for the rest of our lives. Then I pulled out a ring and, with the sun setting over the lake to the west, I asked her to marry me.

It worked. I still have the place on the lake, but we don't spend much time there. At least it's still available for its originally intended purpose.

This is the coolest thing I've read all day. Thank you for sharing!!

I took a fortune cookie, and left it out of the bag for a bit. They get soft when you do that. Opened it up and put "the ring" in it. Put it back in the bag and it was hard again. Took her to the first restaurant we went to (a great Italian place actually) and slipped it to the waiter to bring with desert. When desert came I said "Why don't you take the fortune cookie and see what the future holds." She opend it and her jaw dropped.

I'll refrain from any "tales of the aftermath", but I thought we were off to a romantic start.

 

[StrawberryPez]

He asked me two days before Christmas in 99.

We got married outside in this beautiful park in a canyon in Texas, on April 21, 2001.

I left him on April 7th, 2002. We are still seperated and hopefully soon divorced.

Marriage was the biggest mistake of my life, I'm sure age had a huge factor in it. Due to the fact that I was married to an abusive alcoholic, I find it hard to trust any man now.

It will be a long time before I trust anyone enough to get married again.

OUCH! Been there and done that with the abusive alcoholic. I know exactly what that's like...

Sorry things didn't work out... But thank you for sharing your story.

do you still want to know if you broke up before the alter?

 

[SkyBluAngelEyes]

Out with it... I want details!!

 

[FallenSeraph]

Well, I didn't exactly propose to her, per se. I was planning to propose and was in that period of ring shopping when she, in simple terms, dumped me and moved on. Hey, at least I didn't embarass myself with an at-the-alter break up or a divorce.

 

[Aquila]

Out with it... I want details!!

Asked her what she wanted one night.. She said the heavens..
went and got a star named after her. bought little ring, told her she could have both if I could have her the next night.

Six months later, brought her down to the key, had spent all my money on a new ring and the vacation. was going to give her the better nicer ring. she told me she was pregnant. Evidently she got drunk. had a threesesome with her girlfriend and her girlfriends boyfriend. and was carrying his child. was now in love with him. Threw ring off of the 7 mile bridge. dated for 5 years before that.

It happened in the front seat of my '60 Chevy after a date. I asked her to marry me and put the ring on her finger.

We dated through highschool and for the first two years of college before I decided I had to marry her or go crazy. To this day, she thinks I did both.

I suppose we've been lucky. We've been through 35 years of a few rotten times, a few really good times, and lots of times that bring back fond memories.
