Proposal Stories
by So, I love all things wedding. And when Adam and I were in Phoenix last week, we went to the location where we got engaged, which overlooks all of the Phoenix area (very beautiful at night). So this got me thinking about other couple's proposals:
What are some of the coolest proposal stories you've heard? Or for married couples, what was your proposal like?

I put my soon to be baby's engagement ring on my pinky finger.. and sucker punched her in the face. it imprinted the ring on her nose so i told her to look into the mirror. She saw the size of the ring and she married me. twice.
this is a beautiful story... i was moved to tears... and my bowels also moved
i wish i didn't find your stories of verbal and physical abuse so funny.
mine is on here somewhere. I love proposal stories too, and well everything wedding, and i wish we could do weddings over evey couple of years, they are great!
my husband proposed to me at the beach where our first date had been about 2 years prior. the beach is in a park and has a small gazebo right on the water where we ate dinner by candle light. :)
my brother proposed to my sister in law at a park in princeton on a road called lovers lane. he had me and our 2 cousins set up a picnic with wine and food and everything. my sister in law thought they were meeting my cousins in princeton for dinner. my brother said he had always wanted to stop at this park so they did. where we had set up the picnic for them we put 2 name cards out so they would "stumble" upon the picnic and sit down. the rest is history. :)
my OTHER brother proposed to his wife on a beach as well. he had my brother hide the ring in a conch (however you spell it) shell right before my other brother and his girlfriend would find it. :)
could you imagine if that conch shell had been swept out into the ocean?
I proposed to my second wife in a much sweeter way.
I told my first wife i was going to the beach to find myself.. and peer inside my soul.. but what i was really doing was taking my girlfriend out to the beach for a candlelight dinner with roses and pillows everywhere.
anyway after dinner as the sun was setting we decided to go for a walk.. and as the waters lapped onto the beach i place my strong man arms around my lady and began to tell her That i was never going to marry her, that she was a terrible person...then i proceeded to tell her she was everything i hated in a human being... SO of course she cried.. she cried a lot.. and I pretended to look sad too. but inside i was laughing really hard. because after she cried for 40 minutes.. i said " GOTCHA !.. i was just kidding " and whipped out the ring.
Oh man.. we still roll around laughing about that night.
dude, that's completely awful and amazingly funny.
See thats how you keep your relationship SPICY.
When she's all sad and crying one minute.. then HAPPY and GLEEFULL the next. But it's best to always make her cry. That way she stays with you.
It's all about psychology. And reverse psychology. And manipulation. But NEVER maturation.
hahahahhahahahahhahahahah i love you
It's so funny but.....the way my husband proposed to me was slightly (but not to Thai's extent) similar to that story....weird.
pimp
Hahaha....I'll tell him you said that.
Do so. In case he forgot.
Should I just say "Adam, you're a pimp"? Or should I say it like, "Adam, man, you's a P-I-M-P!!!! Dawg!!!" And then tell him you said so? Hahaha.
The first. "Adam, y'know, you're a real pimp. Thanks for everything."
PROFIT! This could be a great greeting card Bri!
Adam and I got engaged in Phoenix. We flew out there, with me under the assumption that we were going to meet his friends there, and celebrate his parent's anniversary with them. (It had been 2 months earlier, but we weren't able to be with them at the time.....better late than never.)
Anyways, it was just the two of us (my mom was great enough to watch Tyler for the weekend), and on the flight out there he started acting like something was bothering him. I kept asking what was wrong, and he kept saying he was just thinking about stuff, and had a lot on his mind. Then, about 15 minutes before we landed, he said he wasn't happy with things the way they were. Of course I'm freaking, but I let it go because we were about to land.
Fast forward to the next day, when we were going out to a nice fancy dinner with his parents, his sisters and their husbands for his parent's anniversary. We're at dinner, and he's still mopey. I'm trying not to think about it, and worry myself to death that he might dump me when we get home. During dinner, his mom suggested going to The Point, which is this awesome restaurant that sits on top of a HUUUUGE hill that has a Hilton Resort on it. Of course the guys protested, but his mom said "It's my anniversary dinner, and I want to go!!" So she won. We paid the bill, and headed there.
When we got there, Adam was still acting grumpy, so we ordered drinks outside. As we're waiting for them, he suggested we go take a walk. So we walked away from the family, and to a spot that overlooked all of Phoenix.....very gorgeous.
He started to apologize for the way he'd been acting, saying he had been thinking about our relationship for a while, and that he didn't like things the way they were, blah,blah,blah. Meanwhile, I'm thinking "If he thinks that by breaking up with me HERE, that I won't make a scene, BOY is he wrong!!!"
So he goes on to say more stuff, ending with him telling me things needed to change, and what he really needed to change is that he needed me to be his wife. At that point he pulled the ring out, and got down on one knee and proposed. And of course I'm bawling by now.
I had no idea ANY of this was planned, but his WHOLE family was in on it, and he was trying to throw me off by acting weird....and it SO worked!! :)
Mike surprised me at work when everyone else was out to lunch. He sneaked in and put my ring and a rose onto my desk. He had to work all night but he wanted me to have it to show it off at the assembly the next day :) hehe. A very relaxed proposal just like we are so it perfectly fit our relationship style.
