How did you propose marriage?
There is a thread discussing people proposing marriage in church and it got me thinking..............
How did all of you propose marriage to your spouse? Or how did your spouse propose to you?
If we have already discussed this here, I apologize. Admin, if there is, feel free to delete this one

Re: How did you propose marriage?
I just woke up one day with stitches and an ache in my side. There was this chica there who I'd never seen before telling me she didn't like my curtains.
"My curtains?!?" What's the point of them being my curtains if any old help-meet can waltz into the den and start rearranging things?
Nothing's been the same since. Not even the animals will talk to me anymore.

Re: How did you propose marriage?
I said "You wanna go get a rang ?"
She said " Sure"
Then I got her to the courthouse before she could sober up .

Re: How did you propose marriage?
You all are about as romantic as Walt was. We were laying on the floor watching TV one day and Walt pipes up with, "So everybody is assuming we're gonna get married anyway. Why don't we just go ahead and make it official. What do you think about that?"
Duh!
Ok, so it was a start. I've learned the boy better since then! He's such a gentleman. But without a romantic bone in his body. Geesh! LOL

Re: How did you propose marriage?
I took my girlfriend out to eat a a great Japenese Steak House and then got down on one knee, pulled out the box with the ring in it, and asked her to marry me.
That was Valentines day 1980.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: How did you propose marriage?
I called up my then-fiance and asked her "Ok, I'm at the jeweler. What type of ring did you want again?"
Serious.
We both met, dated (very briefly) and started planning the Vegas wedding without ANY official proposal. It just sort of "happened".

Re: How did you propose marriage?
My wife and I were coming back from Olive Garden on New yrs. eve. Early in the morning that day she had just gotten news that her sister had committed suicide. Not a good day. My wife is from Indiana and I'm from Michigan. We live right next to the stateline. As we were coming home from the resteraunt I stopped the car on stateline road, it was kind of secluded. She had no idea why I stopped, she later said she thought I was going to go to the bathroom. Anyways... I told her to get out and stand over there on the Indiana side and I stayed on the Michigan side of the road. I asked her if she wouldn't mind leaving IN. and coming to MI. indefinately. I said come over to MI. and marry me.. she said yes and we did.

Re: How did you propose marriage?
New Year's Eve 2004/2005 at the stroke of midnight, at the table of an RV that I was living in, with firecrackers going off, I proposed.

Re: How did you propose marriage?
I left out the part about it being temporarily parked in her backyard LOL
(the rest of the story...I had purchased some property close by and had to wait a couple of weeks until it was ready )
I think I had 4 dollars to my name when we married...literally. Things are much better now that I'm out of college!
