1. “He ended up proposing to me in a public toilet.”
“My now husband has planned a huge proposal in a park. He had a picnic with candles, champagne and rose petals all set up to surprise me, but just as we go there, a huge thunderstorm came down. He ended up proposing to me in the public toilets nearby.” – Sophie
2. “I proposed to her in our garage.”
“On my birthday, she was taking me out to eat and I couldn’t find anywhere to hide the ring. She asked if everything was okay and I said, ‘might as well get this out of the way.’ I proposed to her in our garage,” – forkandbowl
