Was it a complete surprise? Or did you have an idea? Or was it more planned? Just Curious.

he actually proposed a week before the wedding. :) We talked about getting married, picked the date and had a large wedding planned already. The problem was I wanted a wide diamond wedding band and not the traditional engagement ring and band. He didn't know how to "officially" propose without an engagement ring so he opted for diamond engagement ear"rings" at my surprise. It definalty helped me decide what earrings to wear w/ my dress.

An idea, planned & surprised?!!!! I say this because when my man proposed to me, I was 3 months pregnant with our 1st child ... and I guess I kinda knew that it was coming as we talked about it, ya know the whole having kids and marriage bit, just didn't think it would be so soon at the time. That was in 1999 though and I was 19 then. We are still together (married a lil over 7 yrs) and I'm pregnant with our 3rd!!

Yes. That is, although I wasn't expecting it as such (we had only been going out for 4 months), for some reason when he looked round I just knew that he was going to propose in the next sentence. And I was right! We were leaning on a fence at a harbour watching people and boats go by in mid-January, so it wasn't an especially romantic occasion either. Afterwards he was really embarassed that I had guessed, though goodness knows why he should have been. Anyway we have been maried nearly four years now and have two beautiful children.

I know the exact day he is going to propose, we have discussed in hypotheticals for months, and the day he will propose is a special date night (late celebration of 4 year anniversary) we are going to have in the town we plan to move to after we graduate college in May. I even know 90% sure what ring he is going to give me. Some people think it's suppose to be a big suprise but i'm just super excited to know when b/c i've been waiting for 4 years!

I knew he would and I had predicted it to a tee. We hadn't seen eachother in 4 months because I was studying abroad, and I knew he wanted to propose to me within the next couple of months. I figured he'd propose to me new year's at midnight, it seemed like him and predictable, considering the timing.
I just didn't expect a ring (since we're not terribly big on tradition or on money), but it surprised me to get a family heirloom :)
I even got him an engagement ring for the night with a special engraving :)

We had had lots of serious talks about our future, so we knew we wanted to get married sometime in the summer after he graduated his undergrad. So, I knew a proposal was coming, but I had no idea when-which actually only made me more anxious and excited. But as to the actual weekend he proposed? I never saw it coming. It was a total surprise.

I had the feeling that my boyfriend was going to propose for my birthday, but my birthday came and went with no ring. I had set myself up big time for disappointment and basically spent the next morning pouting around the house. He came back from running some errands, and still pouting like a little baby, I said I was going to take a nap rather than sit and watch TV with him. I was just drifting off to sleep, when he came and got in bed with me and slid the ring on my finger. He explained that he had wanted to propose on my birthday, but he wanted to ask my father's permission, and he hadn't been able to get in touch with him in time, so he had to wait until the next day. Needless to say, I was embarrassed that I had pouted so much, and he is still teasing me about it.

I absolutely knew. We had been talking about it for months in the abstract and we are a long distance relationship currently. So over the phone he asked me the first time. The next time I visited him, he had brought the ring I showed him I liked and took me out and formally proposed to me. It was sweet and romantic. But I so saw it coming.

No it wasn't a surprise. I knew that he was going to propose. I didn't think I was going to get a ring though but he surprised me with a beautiful one.

I had no idea. It was valentines day and I thought we were just going to spend a quiet evening at home. Nope, right after work he tells me to get dressed up because he made reservations. I was a little surprised and went along. He took me to my favorite restaurant. It was a bit crowded and we got seated next to the door. I was so cold because it kept opening and there was a draft. He had me come sit next to him and held my hand under the table while he slipped the ring on my finger. It was so cute and romantic I just kept crying, even once we got home. It turns out he even asked my mom's permission before we went to dinner. She called me first thing the next morning to hear all about it. :) It's such a special moment for me.
