haha me too. i miscarried 1 week before the wedding but we had been dating for 3 years so we decided to go ahead and do it (get married lol). we just had our 27th anniversary. on our 25th he bought us both new rings (mine is a gorgeous wrap that my original engagement ring sits in) and let me know how much he loved me. I had always felt like I never really got the true proposal that most girls get. as much as I loved that he did that for me, I realized I didn't really need the proposal I just needed to know that I wasn't the one he married because he had to or something. he cried because he loves me so much and would never want to live without me in his life. he really made me feel so special. I love that man. it's nice when we all get old enough to show our true feelings without worrying about how uncool it makes us look. ;)

I would have been wondering when it was going to end!! He seemed pretty rehearsed but she didn't. She looked like she was ready to move on!

Well it was Easter Sunday, and we all gathered at my aunt and uncle's house for a giant family dinner. My husband had asked my mom and dad beforehand if he could have my hand in marriage...although when he asked them..it was April 1st..and my mom and dad thought he was joking HAHA!

Anyways, we were all eating..when the doorbell rang. In walks this giant easter bunny...hoping around with a basket of plastic easter eggs. The bunny hopped all over the house and gave everyone an egg...and told everyone to open it. Well...there was my ring...next thing i know i turn to my husband..and he's down on one knee! After all the excitement and barely saying yes thru all my tears, i hear giggling from the bunny's head. I go to take off the bunny's head..and its my BEST friend who i always knew would be my maid of honor. The poor girl..he made her hop everywhere LoL

I was 21, he was 19 than. I am from Malaysia. He is from India.We met on a flight to Australia. It was a year after we been friends/dating.

It was in my parents home, in Malaysia. He came for a visit.It was 1 day before his 20th birthday. I was in the living room ( sitting on the floor ) doing my cross stitch. He laid down on his belly and said " we have known each other for a year now and you are the most beautiful girl ( he still believes and says that ) I have ever seen, my better half any day. Ask me now anything you want to know and I will tell you. I cant think of anyone I want to grow old with. Will you marry me, be my wife and make me the happiest man in the world.

I remember clearly saying to him " is this the way you propose " ( i was in shock ) Anyway I put the stuff I was doing down and said " I didnt think I will have a love marriage ( thought I will have an arrange marriage ). You make me very happy and If there is a man I want to spend rest of my life with it better be you" and said to him "YESSSS" .

I think it was 2 months or so after that he bought me a simple heart shaped ring. We got married a year later and its been 17 years now.

We went on finished our studies I have a degree in Early Childhood he has a PhD. We have 2 girls ages 15 and 13 and a furbaby age 8 months old. Living in Miami for the past 1 yr +.

We were high school sweethearts....I used to waitress during my senior year of high school, one night after pulling a double shift I called him like I always did when I left work and he would talk to me on my way home so I didn't fall asleep since I had like a 30 min drive home through the mountains...most nights I was going to his house anyway well this night when he asked if I was coming over I told him no I was too sleepy...I would see him in the morning b/c I had the next day off anyway...he begged and pleaded until I finally agreed to go to his house when I got there his mom was there her boyfriend at the time and some friends ( this was not an unusual occurence since his house was like the hangout so I though nothing of it) when I went in I was exhausted he fixed me some leftovers from where they had grilled out and I politely plopped on the couch to eat as I was getting done eating he said " oh baby I picked a little something up for you today" and handed me a popular CD that had just come out and had been really hard to find (I am the geeky type that likes to read the book inside of the cds) so I immediately opened it and began reading about the artist since they were fairly new at the time. In the midst of all of this I totally missed everyone crowding around the couch and him down on one knee so when I finally looked up there he was, he said " the little thing I picked up for you today was not the cd your holding, but a ring for you to wear so that when I am not with you it is a reminder of how much I love you, under 1 condition, that you will agree to be my wife and walk with me side by side for eternity, Will you marry me?" Of course I said yes and it has been almost 5 years!!! Even though I want to kill him at times I honestly love him!!

These stories are so sweet! :)

My husband woke me up on Valentines Day 2 years ago and proposed. So I got engaged in my underwear, lol. He had the ring custom designed and handmade by a local jewelry artist. He wanted to get a ring as unique as I am. No commercially made ring 'fit' who I was. I thought it was so sweet. We had our wedding bands handmade also to match. Married 2 1/2 years now!

What a neat thread! Here goes my story.....

We dated exclusively for 5 years and much of that time was a "long distance" relationship - his work took him away. Anyway, Ronald proposed via TELEGRAM and a dozen roses. How cool is that :). As of July 7, 2009 we have been married for 28 years!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! How sweet and exciting for you!! :p :thumbup:

My DH is a lead singer in a band. We were together almost 3 months when he called me up onstage and got down on one knee in front of the whole place. It was our first Valentine's Day together and it was PERFECT!! I just wish I could remember everything he said when he proposed...I was caught up in the moment! We celebrated our 10 year anniversary last month. LOVE HIM TO PIECES!!

we started dating when I was 15 and the night I graduated from high school, when my class though our hats up in the air, he came over in front of all my classmates and ask if I wanted my graduation gift. So I said yes I guess, and at that time he got on one knee and ask. He told only my baby sister so she had got my mom, dad, grandmama, Granddaddy and aunt over there. So they was all their to see. We had talked about getting married and I alway joked saying he would have to sing to me our song, which was "Keeper of the Stars" As we was leaving my graduation, I stoped and say NO you didn't sing!!! He laugh and I did too, but do you know when we got in his truck that song started playing, and it was not a CD or planned. That was what was cool about the hole thing, and we sat in the truck and he did see to me. We had someone sing that song at our wedding, and the whole time he was saying to me "I could have say it better". LOL

This was in May, In July I found out I was pregant, so the date got pushed up about a year or so. LOL Now, come this Sept. it will be 14 years, but we have been together for 18 years.

congratulations!!!!!!
girls, should also tell how long they have been/were married..

Congrats, how sweet! I just wanted to mention that we share the same anniversary date. My husband and I just celebrated our 10th anniversary on the 7th also.:)

He is asked me in his car in front of Barnes and Noble Booksellers. We decided to elope! We had a real wedding a year later on our anniversary!

Awwww, congratulations! The best of luck to you both. :) That is really sweet how how proposed.

My story is: when I met my hubby for the first time (19 years ago), I knew that something was between us and knew that somehow our lives would always be intertwined.,little did I realize it would be marriage. lol. We'd somehow just grown closer over the 4 years we knew each other and somehwere along the way we talked about marriage and sorta of joking made a date to marry.

Well, one Christmas he gave me hints about my present and I had to search for it. My hint was that it was something that didn't match with anything on my Christmas tree. Well, that was a non-clue as all of my ornaments are differnet. I was about to give up when out of the corner of my eye I saw an ornament that I didn't recognize and there was my ring! That was 15 years ago. We celebrated our 12th wedding anniversay in May.

I love reading these!! They are so sweet!

I am really enjoying reading your stories

Keep em coming
