My fiance threw a big party with all our friends and family as we were moving away. It started pouring rain so we had to all go into the big shed. He wanted to make a speech to say goodbye to everyone so we stood up on the workbench and halfway through his speech he got a ring out of his pocket and got down on one knee in front of all our family and friends. We both cried it was so beautiful. And the funny thing is, he is a mechanic and proposed to me in a garage!! ha ha ha :o) He also organised a heart shaped cake to come out after that with flowers. This was the happiest night of my life :o)

My (now) husband and I had gone ring shopping a few months prior to the 4th of July a few years ago. Ever since we'd looked at rings, I was convinced that the proposal could happen at any time. He wanted to make sure I was surprised, and I think he was enjoying making me wait!
We went to dinner at what was supposed to be a really neat restaurant downtown. We got there super early- there was no live music, as was promised, and they wouldn't take our coupon for half off because it was a holiday (we were young and broke. It was a REALLY expensive restaurant!!) They were out of the food we wanted, and the whole dinner was just terrible. The whole time during dinner, I kept thinking the ring was coming, but there was nothing.
By the time dinner was over, I was sullen and it was still hours to early to watch the downtown fireworks. We were walking back to the car, me complaining about my uncomfortable shoes, and that's when he proposed. Down on one knee, in the parking garage. Wasn't the most romantic spot, but it was the most romantic proposal. A wonderful ending to a not so great night and a wonderful beginning to our married life together.

My boyfriend at the time had moved to Alaska. He had come home one day (after being together 4 years) and said I'm moving to the Alleutian Chain near Russia and you cant go with me! What a slap in the face and I guess I should have gotten the hint! But I didnt! I got a new job and moved closer to family. One day this guy came in and all he could do was stare at me. He kept coming in day after day and doing the same thing! The gals I worked with kept saying that guy's in love with you! started a second job next door and found out he was helping out his sister who worked there by doing disc jokey stuff. We would talk occassionally and have a coffee, but he always knew I was waiting for Mr. Alaska Man. One day Mr. Alaska called me up (after he'd been gone about a year) to say he was coming back for a month vacation and would I like to spend it traveling with him! Stupid me said yes thinking there would be a proposal in there somewhere. The last day I asked him if there was going to be any kind of committment in the near future? the nothing that was said, was my answer. I got home and went back to work. 2 days later I fell on a grape, yes a grape! I broke my back. Single mom, cant work or take care of the 2 yr old and NO help from family! Mr. Stare at me all the time offered to help and he did help with EVERYTHING but never crossed the line or made a pass. Took my son to day care, me to all Dr. Appointments, cleaned my house, made meals etc. He did this for 2 months till I could get around. I decided one day to call Mr Alaska as my last ditch effort. I said if we dont have a future in the near future, we need to sart dating other people! He said no future yet (I didnt know he'd gotten married) and so I called Mr. Stare at me and said I would like to start dating you! At 1 a.m. that morning there was a knock at my door! He'd gotten off work and was so excited he could finally tell me how he felt. He asked me to marry him there on the spot. We new each other 3 months and had only had one date other than our coffee together. That was 7 kids and almost 30 years ago!

Hello Shadow,
I would rather tell you how I met and dated my wife. I was playing basketball with a group of friends one saturday evening and we decided to go to the local Dairy Queen. I knew one of the "older" ladies there and was joking around with her at the walk-up window. I asked her what she was doing after work and she told me I needed to talk with her friend. The young lady came to the window and we set a date to go to the movies. Unbeknownst to me, That date was the same as one I had set earlier in the week with one of my classmates. The first young lady (Tina) and I went to the skating rink then I went home and showered and picked up Sue to go to the movies. This is where the problem occured. At the theatre, Tina's best friends saw Sue and I. I had the three of them in every class that I took and was never allowed to forget it the rest of that year. Sue and I dated the remainder of the next two years and have been married since. This is thirty two years later and she still makes me the happiest man in this world! Have a wonderful LORD'S DAY and a glorious week!
Thanks,
Eds

She proposed to me. We had known each other for 7 yrs, but had only been dating 5 weeks. I don't think she had planned to propose, it just came out of her mouth. I had picked her up after work at midnight. She was an OB nurse and had had a bad day, lost several patients. I said, "Lets just get some food and go back to my place. She spilled her whole plate of Italian food down the front of her shirt & skirt. She took them off and rinsed them in my bathroom and put them to soak in the tub, and put on one of my shirts. She was still crying when she came out, I was still wiping up marinara sauce. I told her we could share my plate. She got a couple of bottles of beer out of the fridge. She started talking about how patient and sweet I was, yada yada, and just asked, "Will you marry me?" The very next night, we gathered with our friends on the beach of Lake Michigan, and as the sun came up, we had our "spiritual commitment" to each other with our friends, flowers, and a gallon of Ripple wine. (It was 1966. We followed it up a month later with a legal church wedding.)
