5 years ago, on a snowy December night.
My wife was late getting home from the barn (we have horses), but my plan was to pop the question at the stables...we met there and spent soooo much time there...I thought it would be a good idea.
It's dark out, 9pm or so and I have a bottle of DOM in my trunk with 2 champagne glasses.
When she gets home I make an excuse to get us back to the barn.
She resists, but finally gives in and drives us over.
We get there and she is so tired from feeding the horses only a few minutes ago, and from working all day that she insists on sitting in the car while I go see the horses.
Stumped, I go to the truck to "get a bag of carrots" and smuggle the Dom and the glasses under my sweatshirt.
I go into the barn and set up.
When I'm done, I rush out to the car as if something was wrong.
I tell her that one of the horses is down and bleeding!
She runs quick with me to through the length of the bar out through the other side where a single spot light lit a small paddock.
She looked around and saw no horses.
I dropped to a knee, opened the $6000 wedding ring and asked her to marry me.
Champagne, tears, and laughter....with snowflakes sprinkled on top.
A night I will never forget.
Cheeeeese!

My first husband was acting weird one day, totally cleaning the house and wanting to make dinner and everything. Odd. He got out a blanket and said we'd watch movies on the floor. Then he got a candle out and turned down the lights. Halfway through the movie he proposed. I just KNEW he was going to do it! We got divorced 6 years later because he was abusive and cheating on me.
My second marriage (now), we both knew we wanted to get married and while we were watching TV and joking around one night he just looked at me and said "Will you marry me?" I immediately said yes. He's the best person I've ever been with, we got married a month and a half later at the JP and have no regrets after 2 years now.
Who knew that 2nd and 3rd marriages could work out with such a simple question? We were tired of dating and divorce and we just got straight down to the point. :)

the wife and i attend a local stock car event sometimes. at intermission, the track gives away prizes from a "lucky number" in the souvenir programs. before the break, i went to the announcer's stand and gave them my program's number, and had asked that they "draw" that number. . i asked my wife-to-be to go claim the "prize" from the drawing. it was, of course, her engagement ring and i proposed to her in front of about 3000 race fans.

My husband came up to my balcony (in my old house) put candles and roses everywhere and asked me to marry him. He also arranged for a little fireworks display if i said yes. Guess what, i did!

In this little town in the middle of no-where, I woke up this morning. I got dressed and ate breakfast. I looked out the window over the mountains and thought God is so good. I then realized that I had not woken up. I opened my eyes. and thought crap. I none of this happened! I then got up. got dressed. ate. then started my day. I will have to wait till to night to start my day in the mountains.
... THE END ...
