Re: Your proposal story?
Hmm.....let's see. The pastor asked my then boyfriend if we were married and he said no, which was the wrong answer since we were living together. We thought that might be wrong, but we were not sure. We wanted to get baptized but the pastor told us we had to get married and then he would baptize us. So, I guess the pastor proposed for both of us. Not real romantic. I actually already had a ring, but there was no real talk of marriage before that. We were just kids and where we came from, having a ring meant you were serious, and would probably get married at some point, but we had not really discussed it. It was just a cheapy ring. Cubic zirconia.

Re: Your proposal story?
Took my sweetheart to the church building we both attend on a Friday night. It was dim lighting. Walked w her down the aisle while talking, to directly in front of the pulpit, took a knee, and asked her. She said yes, and then I heard teenage giggles in the balcony. Thot we were alone....
1.5 yrs later, we walked down that same aisle. Looking back, I'd like to have Thot of something much more creative...oh well. 10 years now

So a pastor proposal huh... I'm glad that even though the pastor was involved in your proposal and marriage, that you and your husband have been married for many years....
 How many?

Re: Your proposal story?
I met my husband at a friend's house where we were both invited for Easter dinner. He recited poetry and Shakepeare to impress me, haha. (He is an Electrical Engineer btw)
When I left to go to my car he followed me out and asked me if he could see me again.
He proposed on the first date and I said no, I didn't know him. He proposed just about everytime I saw him afterwards. Eventually I got to know him and realized he was a great person, very kind, well educated and interesting. He has encouraged and helped me to fulfill many of my dreams. And I have been them for him, supporting Him in every way I can.
This is not to say the road isn't rocky as we have some differances that make it so. I'm very frugal, he loves to spend. I like the house uncluttered, he is a collector. I'm an introvert who likes alone time, he is an extrovert who wants to be social all the time.
So at times our life is fraught with petty quarrels but not often major ones, and we are building a good life together the best we can.

Re: Your proposal story?
Met my husband to be at church - BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD to meet someone. I had been to a revival about 25 miles away and had seen a young man there who was shouting and praising God and I looked at my relative who was with me and said, See that young man up there, now he is too young for me but I want one like that one - who loved the Lord. (later I found out he was only 6 months younger that I). Months later I went to the church he attended (didn't know it of course) and on our first date, we got to talking about revivals we had attended and he mentioned the one that I had attended and to make a long story short, I realized he was the young man who I had seen shouting and praising God. After about a couple of months, he told me that in 2 weeks he was going to ask me to marry him and to think about it so at a
Greyhound bus station he proposed and gave me a white Bible as an engagement gift. The church we went to didn't believe in rings other than the wedding ring (stupid yes) but that was the way it was. WE only dated about 5 months and got married and it has been almost 46 yrs. STILL SHOUTING AND PRAISING GOD!!!

So she was determined to pull the story out of him, and kept pestering him ... who do you like... are you going to ask her out... etc. etc. My sister actually liked him, and was hoping he'd eventually ask her out. She was quite persistent, and not a little more than a flirt... myself, I was shy, and couldn't believe how she was acting... because I liked him too... a lot!
Finally, after quite a bit of pestering from my sister, he lifted his head, turned and looked me in the eye, and said... "It's you I like, and would you go out with me?" Of course, I said YES! My sister got up in a huff and left him and I sitting at the table together.... and then he said to me... "You're the one I've been waiting for all my life." And at that moment, both of us knew we would be spending our lifetime together, and six months later we were married... I never really got a true knee on the ground proposal, we both just knew it from the moment we first looked each other in the eye, that we were meant to be together forever.
There... so that's my story... I'd love to hear yours... or a special one from someone you know! |
I love this, it's very romantic and sweet
