Hi guys,

For lack of something better to talk about, I'd like to ask you this...

How did you propose to your wife before you got married?

    After "relations" I just got the ring and gave it to her. Pretty lame

    I gave her a ring for Christmas. I wrapped up a BIG box, but only had a note inside with a clue to where to look for part two. That note led to another, and the third note told her where to find the ring...but of course, she didn't know it was a ring she was hunting for.

    Yeah, I made her work for it. Ain't it romantic!

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

    Well, my H had planned on taking me to our favorite restaurant, but I came down with a roaring case of pneumonia so was stuck in bed. I was pissed he worked V-Day, but he proposed the day after. He gave me a box of Godiva chocolates with the ring box inside. He told me he had to sit outside and eat like 4 chocs before it would fit. Then he just gave me the box while I was hacking up a lung in bed and popped the question. Tres romantic.

    My friend was proposed to in Stowe, Vermont on a sleigh ride. I think that's much better haha

    I proposed to my fiancée after we were walking on the beach and I and tripped and fell into the ocean.

    She said "you are such a dumbass. I love you madly"

    And then I popped the question. :-)

    It was online. I said "Okay.... Im ready to take this to the next level... Im ready to sign the immigration papers and pay the $10,000 citizenship fee... You're sure this picture is you right, and this website isnt a scam"?

    She sent me a teary eyed emoticon. and said "Si, this picture iss you and this website iss a scam", and I knew what she meant. We understand each other like that.

    We have been happily playing charades every since, and are even starting to enjoy verbal communication on some words... Its great!

    I bring here to a very romantic place and there I tell her I want to marry her. Of course buy first an engagement ring.

      I took her and our son (yes, we did things our way - no shotgun wedding, judge if you will) to one of the parks that we frequented when we were first dating. This park had a nice lake with a walking path around the lake, and a nice picnic area.

      I packed up my son and some Subway (oh yeah, fine dining) sammichs and took my wife for a little picnic. As we sat at the park after finishing up our lunch, I grabbed the ring from inside the stroller and explained to her how much I loved her before asking for her hand in marriage.

      We've been married 11+ years now.

      It was on a warm summer night. The lights were low and the moon was bright. Hands touching, her eyes beckoned with anticipation as my lips trembled to utter those words. That was the first and last time she ever did say "yes" to me.

        Whenever my wife agrees with me, I know she's not really listening.

    My husband never really proposed. One day we were just talking and at some point he asked me what date we should set, so that was it LOL

    Of course, we already had two kids and bought a house together, it's not like it was a big deal

      She asked me.

      She was from Nigeria, needed me to send her $10,000 because she needed to bribe customs to let her through with a purse full of gold her uncle (a Nigerian Prince) gave her for safe keeping.

      I sent her the money, I think customs still has her detained.

    I had my 21st birthday party as an overnight camp in a bush campsite - fireplace, toasted marshmallows, wine, guitar, the whole works. Only problem was, the bush toilets had no lights. He came with me with a torch to check it out for spiders and snakes before I went in, and there, in a bush toilet, he proposed. How could I not say yes?

    We're celebrating our 20th anniversary on the 26th of this month, so in spite of the unorthodox proposal, he was definitely a good catch. :-)

    She announced that we were going to her parents house where I would ask her father for her hand in marriage. We did and I did. I think he was as embarrassed as I was.

      We were in Hawaii (Kauai to be exact) on vacation the day I asked her (Heather) to marry me, which ended up being May Day (May 1st) which is a big day there.

      We were snorkeling and I had the ring in a double zip-lock baggie with gold sparkly steamers attached to it.

      I put it under a coal reef and the streamers were waving in the crystal clear water. I said come over here I see some awesome fish. Then she swims over and I pull up the steamers with ring attached and proposed while snorkeling. I asked her if she'd marry me and she said "OK"! LOL

      It was one very high end diamond too and it shimmered like crazy on that sunny day. Through out the rest of the snoreling day she's stop now and then and say with a big smile on her face "I'm having a hard time seeing the fish because my new ring is blinding me."! LOL

      I was scared to death to remove the ring from the box and get it onto her finger with wet hands. If I had dropped it in the water, even though it wasn't super deep where we were snorkeling that sucker could have gone between the coral reefs and we would have never seen it again!

      Needless to say I got it on her finger and the rest is history (been married 10 years now and have an 8 year old daughter to boot).

    Whoa! I still remember how he proposed to me. It was late in the evening, when we went to the Villa Resort to celebrate out 5th anniversary, and then while in the middle of the night, he asked me to give my hand to him, without any doubt, he puts the engagement ring in my finger. I was so amazed and happy. And I answered it "YES"
