Your proposal story?

KeptByTheWord · #1 12-14-2012, 05:11 PM

I'm trying to keep my mind off the terror of the day. I thought of this while reading PraiseHymn's thread about a proposal, how to propose, and what would make a memorable proposal gift, wouldn't it be nice to hear other's proposal stories?

So, would you be willing to share your proposal story?

Was it romantic, frantic, or traumatic?

Bells are ringing... do tell your proposal story for us all

Driving down the road, he said maybe we should get married. I said, okay. A few years later, we did.

OK, here's mine...

My sister and I were playing Skip-Bo with the "man of my dreams"... Quite a few young people had been over at our house playing games, and the party had dwindled down to my sister, I, and him

Word had been going around that he liked someone, and in fact my sister believed that he liked her. So she was determined to pull the story out of him, and kept pestering him ... who do you like... are you going to ask her out... etc. etc. My sister actually liked him, and was hoping he'd eventually ask her out. She was quite persistent, and not a little more than a flirt... myself, I was shy, and couldn't believe how she was acting... because I liked him too... a lot!

Finally, after quite a bit of pestering from my sister, he lifted his head, turned and looked me in the eye, and said... "It's you I like, and would you go out with me?" Of course, I said YES! My sister got up in a huff and left him and I sitting at the table together.... and then he said to me... "You're the one I've been waiting for all my life." And at that moment, both of us knew we would be spending our lifetime together, and six months later we were married... I never really got a true knee on the ground proposal, we both just knew it from the moment we first looked each other in the eye, that we were meant to be together forever.

There... so that's my story... I'd love to hear yours... or a special one from someone you know!

What a sweet story Kept! How many years has it been?

Walt and I had dated for 3 years. One evening, we were laying on the floor watching tv (NO we were not "doing anything". Just laying there watching tv - very innocent!). A commercial came on and we started talking. During the conversation, Walt says, "You know, everybody assumes we're probably going to get married eventually. What do you think? Should we prove them right?" I answered, "Ya, I guess we could" and then the show came back on. End of conversation.

The next day, Walt called and said, "So did you really agree to marry me last night?" When I said I had, he whooped and hollered. Then calmed down and we set a date. This was in January. We set the date for Sept. 21st. Longest 9 months of my entire life!!!

Wonderful story! Seems like you both just "knew" it was right too!
