As much as it’s a lovely story/plan/event, the wedding mags in the car would have been the highlight for me… talk about attention to detail!!! Awesome.

Nah, sorry, don’t like it. My 7 year old thinks poo is hilarious, but then he is 7.

Hilarious!! Whatever works for them!

My hubby took me away for a weekend, which I usually take care of as I’m a travel agent but left it to him. Got there, checked in, took me for a lovely walk at Sunshine Coast, cue dolphins and perfect weather and then we rounded a corner and there on the beach 100 metres below was a blazing MARRY ME, he got down on bended knee and had a bottle of champers set up so we could enjoy the view. He’d got his family and best mates to help out so we decided to have a few celebratory drinks back at our apartment. Next surprise was he’d invited my closest friends and family to the same hotel so we could have our engagement party same night! Was a massive surprise. He is not a romantic person at all and tells me the proposal gets him points for 10 years! We’ve been married for almost 9 so I’ll be cashing in on some more romance soon!

It was my 30th birthday and my boyfriend of 2 years takes me away to a cabin in the hinterland. Nice, cosy and cold. The afternoon we got there he gave me my birthday present which was earrings in a nice aqua blue box
We go to dinner the next night and he is sweating bullets, I ask him if he’s ok and he says he’s not feeling well so we head home early. I head straight from the car to the shower to warm up, I come out in my flannel PJs with face cream on and he says “I have another gift for you” and it was in the same aqua blue box as the earrings, so i was so excited thinking it was a matching necklace or bracelet. I say thanks and open it up and insidee is a locket (not really to my liking but nice enough). I say thank-you and close the lid and he looks at me and says “turn it over” so I turn the box over a bit confused, and he says “no the locket”. and on the back is engraved Will You Marry Me?
He got a YES, but no way in hell was I taking a photo to commemorate the moment. He then took me to the jeweller the next day and we designed by engagement ring together

Love this. Whatever works for them.

My husband proposed in a fancy Beverly Hills restaurant and I knew it was coming because it was the one and only activity he’d planned for our entire 5 week holiday. And I could see the ring box in his pocket. He’d be planning to do it after the meal, but after about 20 minutes of the most awkward silence we’d ever had, he just did it to get it over with, before our meals arrived. Everyone clapped in the restaurant, but (even though it wasn’t cheap) they probably weren’t accustomed to seeing engagement rings as small as mine, lol. I would’ve loved a proposal that took me completely by surprise, but I am more than happy with the proposal I received.

The knowledge of a future proposal may be there, but the timing and setting can be a surprise and a lot of men (and some women) like to make it a special, memorable moment. Thus the “weird staged proposal”.

Mine always said he didn’t want to get married. I always hoped he’d change his mind. He proposed during an intimate dinner at a small restaurant with our 1 year old. Ring in the champagne, when i finally noticed the ring, he was down on one knee. I was shocked, the staff all cheered, I said yes with tears in my eyes, we kissed and then heard this high pitched keening sound. It turned into little sobs, looked down and our son was crying. Kinda broke the spell (he doesn’t like cheering…or happy birthday singing…funny bubba).
Ps….he proposed on the 21st of December last year…the day the world was suppose to end. How ironic

Make a sign and hold it up next time he does a long deployment. You might even make the cover of the Navy News.

Yes. That is exactly right, distracted.

It happened to me (years ago now) when I had been away with my partner of 12mths. He came back from our trip feeling ready to make the relationship more serious and take steps towards that, whilst I came back having realised we were ready to split.

Feelings are complicated, and it is difficult to know really how we arrived at such different points, but either way, the time away had helped us both reflect. We both made leaps, just in different directions, and both of us were caught by surprise by the other.

Ultimately, I’d realised I didn’t love him. Splitting up was the right outcome, so I stopped him actually reaching the point of asking me. He can have that moment with the right partner who wants to say yes to him.
