    I got proposed to in [STRIKE]19??[/STRIKE] - aeons ago :o.

    Holding hands walking along a beach he suddenly said "I want you to be my life spelled with a 'W' and get the 'L' out of it" :D.

    I was 17, I'd been out with him three times, said "Yes" immediately - got engaged on my 18th and married when I'd just turned 20.

    We've never looked back - it's 30+ years on and would both do it again tomorrow.

  • Personal choice, but I would of been so embarrassed if he did it anywhere public... I'm not one for showing off and being the centre of attention. As it goes we were at a party with the circle friends who first introduced us, he didn't have a ring, but got down on one knee anyway. Then I got to go pick my own ring the next day which suited me down to the ground :)

  • It was exactly a week ago today! Christmas eve. :j
    It was completely unexpected because the week before he'd had really bad flu and was only just starting to feel human. He suggested we go for a walk with the kids because he thought some air would do him good, I wasn't so keen and was ready to settle down for the evening with some xmas eve drinks and nibbles but he insisted. We drove to the lake were we take the kids to feed the ducks and swans, it was all frozen over and really pretty. He gives the kids some bread and they start feeding the ducks, suddenly I turn around and he's next to me on his knee looking up at me with an open box with a big rock in it. ''Louise will you marry me''!!!

    I always thought that when he did it I'd cry like a baby but I was the complete oposit, I laughed like a lunitic. I've never been so happy :o

    Heres Mine -

    We have been together almost 8 years, so i have been waiting a while!! He lived abroad for work for 3 years in this time too.
    Now my other-half always does things to the max, everything is a over the top, so birthdays/christmas ect and he loves to make a fuss, not expense wise but just different!
    Because of this i am super suspicious of everything. This is why it was a total surprise. All my friends were guessing how crazy it would be. However i never thought it would be now!

    I came home tuesday night and he was supposed to have picked up the chicken for dinner. He looked really sheepish and i said 'what have you done' (me being suspicious again). He said there is no chicken as i forgot.
    So i go to get something else out for tea and he says 'no dont' and i say 'why'

    He says because we are going out for dinner and again me being suspicious i ask why, thinking that he has broken something or done something stupid. He says because he is going away thursday (Which is true he is working in Cairo for three weeks). I say ok.
    I then turn round and he is on one knee!!!!! I tell him to get up and stop messing around (as he is a joker).
    Then he pulls out a box....and you know the rest!!!
    I was in total shock and still am.. He said this was the only way he could ask me and it be a surprise as i suspect everything. Haha. That will teach me, then we went out for dinner. After i spent 20 minuites laughing!!!

    I wondered why the frontroom had been hoovered and the yankee candle was on!! pmsl!

    So thats it!!!
