Getting on knee

View Quoted Comment Lol! Glad you’re feeling better. Happy planning!

Mine was supposed to be a ring that we are officially committed. He had planned a nicer way to give it to me but he was too shy to do it in public. No official will you marry me and recently after going through a financial struggle I finally decided that either we are getting married (he had never been married but never saw the benefits of the institution where really I feel his dad divorcing wife #3 just gave him bad impressions) so I basically had a conversation that stated I think I have proven I am a good woman esp through the current situation we are in and marriage is important to me, I did not want to lose him but either we are going that way or we are not. Did not want to do an ultimatum but basically I gave him the chance to get out or if he is committed to me as he says he is then we are making it official. No more wife expectations without making me a wife ha ha. So now we are officially doing it 7 years later. Some love stories are not romantic but at the end of the day I am marrying the man I love...laziness and all ha ha.

I didn't get on one knee when I asked. In fact, by most people's standards the proposal was a wreck, but it was spontaneous (something I never am) and heartfelt. I often feel bad that it went the way it did, but she tells me all the time that she loves how we got engaged. Don't compare proposals. The right person doesn't need to follow tradition or be extravagant. At least that's what she tells me. lol

I would be annoyed at him lying/making it up that he did get on one knee as well.

Sometimes I want that feeling again so I ask FH to get on one knee again, lol. But when he proposed, I panicked and just said yes instantly and didn't really let myself really enjoy that moment. It's all about what works for you two! I'm glad you were happy with your proposal!

Same. Here. I'm not married yet but we have happily been together for 6 years I hated when we first got engaged and everyone would ask how he did it. lol

My husband didn’t get on his knee either, I think some men feel vulnerable doing that and just get awkward about it lol. I had told him so many times I wanted him to get on his knee when he asks me, I let him know how happy that would make me I always wanted it that way. But ours was pretty random. We were arguing over the fact he keeps taking his promise ring off at work he said he didn’t want to mess it up but the truth was he felt stupid with it on, but I took offense to him not wearing it and would jump to conclusions (yeah I know), but he would do the same to me had I not worn mine. But I was so proud of mine I never took it off. Until then I snatched it off and handed it to him and told him we don’t have to wear them. He looked so confused holding it he tried to give it back but I refused it. And he told me just just doesn’t like bling and he doesn’t like everyone asking him if he’s married that he doesn’t want to wear a ring until we are engaged. And I said ok we won’t, and I let it go. We sat there for a while (we were sitting on a swing) and he grabbed my hand and said Will you marry me? And I just didn’t know what to say cause. Honestly thought he was teasing me about the argument. But he looked dead serious so I said yes and he put the rings back on us and told me he’d never take them off. It definitely didn’t go as planned but remembering that makes us both laugh.

This kinda bothered me for a little bit too, but it was so sweet the way he did it (we were both sitting on a cliff and he used some sleight of hand to distract me so that when I looked back to the valley it was in his hand that was around my shoulder) and that was more important to me than tradition. I did bring it up and was like "hey. What was up with that?" And he just rolled his eyes and got on a knee and was like "happy now?" (it was funnier and more lighthearted than it reads!)

View Quoted Comment Okay FH just said remember after we got home that night, you kind of mentioned it and I then got on my knee. I do remember him doing that but it was several hours later. But I thought he meant like he got on the knee while proposing. Thanks for sharing your story it's very cute and I'm sure it was funnier then how it's written.

He may have just forgot or was caught up in the moment; maybe even nervous. He also may have wanted to try it differently this time around with you. You know he loves you because he proposed and that's a big step for men, especially if this is his second chance at love. Take it easy on him!

Just let it go. You know the truth and that’s what matters lol. My fiancé got on one knee, but forgot to actually ASK me to marry him! I kept waiting for it, and finally had to say, are you asking me?? I called him out on it five mins later, and said, you know you didn’t actually ask, right? And he said, omg you’re right, will you marry me? At the time I was a bit bummed, “why didn’t I get my perfect proposal,” but now I feel it’s perfect for us (and totally something Rob would do lol), We laugh about it now, and love telling everyone how he was so in the moment, he forgot his one line. Long story short, don’t dwell on what didn’t go right, your proposal was your own, whether your FH remembers correctly or not!

Very true! Thank you for sharing your story.

View Quoted Comment Crazy people are the best people lol! 😊🙆🏾‍♀️

You *may* be overreacting, but tbh I would be too lol. Our proposal was perfect, but I always let him (jokingly) know that a perfect proposal (for me) included getting down on one knee. We’d watched Downton Abbey too where multiple ladies tell their fellows they need to get down on one knee to propose properly lol. He jokes that that’s me. It’s okay to be upset about it, but try to focus on the engagement and your relationship.
