How did they pop the question? đź’Ť

I just love proposal stories! Whether they’re sweet, silly, planned out, spontaneous... each one is unique! Let’s hear how y’all ended up here on WeddingWire.... how’d your SO pop the question? My FH knew I absolutely loved going to the Christkindle Market in Chicago every year, and that Navy Pier...

My FH knew I absolutely loved going to the Christkindle Market in Chicago every year, and that Navy Pier has my favorite skyline; so he decided to do it then. We had an amazing seafood dinner, watched the sunset, went to Christkindle Market and warmed up with warm German cider. When we arrived back at Navy Pier he started acting kinda shifty. Little did I know he had a ring in his pocket! We was apparently trying to find the perfect place to pop the question. He decided to do it in the giant Ferris wheel, but he was acting so nervous that I thought maybe he was worried about his PTSD acting up in the Ferris wheel. He assured me he was ok but I thought he was just saying that cuz he knew I wanted to go in the Ferris wheel. He decided to just do it right there, in front of the Ferris wheel with my favorite skyline lit up behind us (so glad he did because it was a magical scene!) But when he got down on one knee I thought he was having a panic attack!! Needless to say, I was completely surprised!!! LOL The 1st 2 pics were of that night. We later went back to the same place for our engagement pics (the other pics). It was the most perfect proposal for me ❤️

    We were getting ready one morning to go to Disney (we were passholders at the time). I was putting makeup on, and he came up and gave me a nice big hug and kiss... after he left the room, I looked at myself in the mirror and thought "I think he's finally going to propose today". I don't know why I had that feeling, but I did! When I was done getting ready, I went downstairs and my FH told me he had a surprise for me and to sit down and close my eyes. He said he taught our puppy a new trick, and to call the puppy to me (puppy was in the other room). When I called for our puppy, he came running out of the room and I saw he had a little black velvet bag tied to his collar. I opened the bag, and there was a ring! FH got down on one knee, and the rest is history ♥ We celebrated at all 4 Disney parks that day, it was so magical ♥ He said he just couldn't wait any longer! It was so sweet and intimate.

    Aww I love reading other's engagement stories!

    We were at the Winspear Opera House in Dallas, going to go see an opera with a couple friends of ours. Hubby was the only one of us who'd been there before, so we went upstairs to "check out the view" before the opera. Lol I got a pretty good view when I turned back around and he was down on one knee. Smiley laugh Smiley heart Usually I'm the type of person who doesn't want any sort of audience around, but I'd always wanted pictures of the exact moment, and the fact that he picked those friends to be the ones there was perfect. Smiley smile
