How long

Congratulations!

My fiancée and I met 5 years ago (almost exactly, actually!) at a bar. Apparently I was staring at him quite a bit (whoops!) so he came over to talk to me. The rest is history. We will be married 08/08/2020- so just under a year to go! We have been engaged since February. I am obsessed with airplanes and told him at the beginning of our relationship that I would love to find a cool spot to watch the planes land at a big airport nearby. I forgot I had said that to him, but he said afterwards that he has always planned on that being the proposal spot. It was the dead of winter, there was no one around, and it was freezing. He took me to the top of this hill that is a lookout spot and I was looking at the planes through binoculars (so nerdy)… I turned back around and he was behind me on 1 knee. My poor friend was hiding in the bushes taking pictures and slipping on the ice the whole time trying to get a good shot. Ha ha.

My fiancé and I dated all through high school and broke up after graduation to go to different colleges. We dated other people but two years later our paths crossed again and we were both single and he tells me he never stopped thinking about me. We started dating again and less than a year later, he proposed to me on the beach while we were on vacation telling me he just couldn't wait any longer! When we told his mother about our engagement she said "when he was dating (ex-girlfriend), he told me that if he ever had another chance with you he would take it in a heartbeat"! Between the two of them, I was crying happy tears for about two days lol

Oh my gosh, I love this!! You guys are such a beautiful family, congratulations!!

Aww your story is so sweet! I love how much thought he put into it!

The months leading up to when FH proposed I had a feeling he was planning something. It started when he took out a loan from the bank, too big for the new tires he said he was using it to buy. So I asked him and he said he was going to get new tires, a new laptop, and another big purchase and left it at that. So I started getting an idea of his plans then. Then he started asking my opinion on a gemstone engagement ring instead of a diamond, at this point we've been together almost 5 years and talked about marriage often so it wasn't too weird him asking that. Then one night my dad "needed his help" with something and he was over my dads house for like 4 hours while I'm just sitting home alone, I knew something was up at this point.

On 11/2/18, exactly 5 years after our first date, he took me out for dinner. We were standing outside in a patio area waiting for our buzzer to go off. To kill time, I was looking through what was in my jacket pockets from the last time I wore it. So here I am, my hands full of old receipts and napkins and then he gets on his knee and asks me to marry him. I awkwardly stuff the trash back into my pocket and said yes ... and then I also said thank you because i just started blabbering words There was even a crowd of people who were just outside having a drink who started cheering for us in the background.

We are 394 days away and I can't wait!

That is such a touching story!

FH and I have been together 5 1/2 years. We were together just over 3 years when he asked my dad and my brother for their blessings. He knows how much both my father and my brother mean to me.

For the proposal our families are very close so when FH told me we were going to one of our favorite restaurants with everyone for dinner I thought nothing of it. What was strange was that he told me to dress up and he also dressed up. Were not the kind to dress up to go out to dinner. Then, a little bit into the dinner FH stood up to make a speech. That was not like him AT ALL. He was thanking everyone for being there and saying how much he and I care about our family and at the end of the speech was when he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! I said yes and began crying of course. We started our engagement at 700 something days and are down to 36 today! Crazy how fast time has flown by especially since we still have so much to do!

So jealous of all these sweet stories! We dated for a little under 2 years and didn't really talk about getting married (he's been married twice before and I have been married once). He made the mistake of telling his 12 year old so the whole week prior she was like "dad, hey dad, dad how about now" so I kind of had an idea. The day he proposed his 6 year old had a massive 4 hour temper tantrum, I was irritated and cranky, and we went for a walk. 12year old kept being annoying on the walk with the "hey dad" stuff so when he finally dropped to his knee I said "NO!" and walked away....oops. 21 days til we are married!

These are so amazing! For me, I used to work in Paris and was going back to visit friends. FH and I had picked out the stones for my ring 7 days before we left for France. So I knew a ring/proposal was going to happen, I assumed months in the future. Who makes a ring in less than 7 days? FH arranges a 1 day/night trip to the south of France for dinner. The restaurant was in a castle overlooking the Meditteranean sea. We sit thru a 7 course meal, champagne and a bottle of wine, he then leaves for the bathroom....I thought he was ill from all the creamy food. He comes back with a waitress who has a very large tray with rose petals and a large gift box. I thought the gift was a necklace thinking the ring could not be made in time. Opened the box which had another big box. Opened the second box which had the ring in it. Crying my eyes out at this tray/ring, I look up and the restaurant staff is smiling and clapping and Future hubby is on one knee. A moment I will never, ever forget....Engagement was on July 3, 2018, wedding was on August 10th 2019.

I love this!! My fiancé was hoping Rapunzel's tower was closer than it was so he could propose in front of that - he opted for the tree of life since we love adventures. The trip was so special!

I planned a Disney trip back in April & hinted at my boyfriend that it'd be perfect to propose. So the year before the trip he was thinking of where to do it. He was going to wait until Magic Kingdom but said he loved my outfit I was wearing for Animal Kingdom & decided to do it then. It was going to be at Pandora, but he couldn't find a photographer (thankfully bc the lighting early in the morning was AWFUL). After lunch we were walking to a ride and crossed in front of the tree of life & I stopped him for a picture & that's when he proposed!
I did see him pull the box out of the backpack, but still didn't have enough time to react. He got down on one knee and just gave me a big smile and didn't say anything for like 30 seconds so I finally said, are you gonna ask me something??? It's so funny to me now.
