Your proposal story? - Page 4

I never proposed to my wife. We met the first time, and without even seeing or feeling any fireworks we both knew we had found "the one" (of which there can be only one). A month or two later we suddenly were talking about getting married in the most matter-of-fact way possible without either of us even knowing who brought it up the first time.

A few months after that we were married at the MGM Grand in Vegas.

Should we prove them right?" I answered, "Ya, I guess we could" and then the show came back on. End of conversation.

The next day, Walt called and said, "So did you really agree to marry me last night?" When I said I had, he whooped and hollered. Then calmed down and we set a date. This was in January. We set the date for Sept. 21st. Longest 9 months of my entire life!!!

Yep! You were, too. You were watching that old evil TV and see what it got you!

Nothing fancy! It was love at first sight, (saw her at church), and it's been over 50 years. Can't tell you exactly how the proposal went cause someone might recognize my story. Think I'll keep her tho!

We'd only been dating about 6 months, and I just found out that after years of disappointment in my previous marriage, I was against all odds 7 weeks pregnant.

My health insurance didn't cover any maternity issues, and they wanted to do an ultrasound because of "advanced maternal age" (Pshaw...I was only 36).

So my husband got down on one knee and presented me with the ring we had just picked out and said "Michelle, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife and sharing my insurance benefits?"

To which I dramatically responded "Yes! Yes! A Thousand Times Yes!"

I threw the wedding together in 3 days, and we actually got married on Veteran's day. (I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere!).

We just celebrated our 2nd anniversary last month, and are a very happy little family. It certainly wasn't what I expected in this season of life, but of course now I can't imagine it any other way.

That is awesome Michelow! I love this! Sometimes happiness comes to us in a package that at first we don't recognize... maybe the wrapping isn't as pretty as we would have liked, but once we have opened it... it is the best gift imaginable. I kinda think maybe that is true with your proposal

I understand completely. This is really in a sense what happened to my husband and I too. There never was any need for a proposal... because we just "knew".

Love it RW!!!

How sweet BT! I love these "love at first sight" stories!

50 years is a remarkable milestone these days! You are blessed!

Now AreYouReady, you may have something there. I'm kinda like the old lady that was pulled over by the cop. He asked her why she was speeding. Her answer, "I'm just trying to get where I'm going, before I forget where I'm going!"

Does your handle, "AreYouReady," have any thing to do with your proposal? Just wonderin'! ...... Merry Christmas.
