Okay, I don't LOVE this story (my fiance does), but I saw a post prompting us to think about our proposal stories and I realized it might be good for a laugh for all of us undergoing so much stress, anxiety, worry, crying, emotional eating, more crying... okay, anyway, I'd love to hear any funny/embarrassing stories you have about your FH, whether they're related to the proposal, a date... whatever!
My fiance came to my apartment after his shift. It was our year and a half anniversary (I promise we don't usually celebrate anniversaries by month, but we thought it would be fun to do something out of the normal). As soon as he got to my place, he suggested that we go for a walk, up to the top of the butte in my town. Sunset was fast approaching. I thought, hey, that sounds perfect.
When we went to put our shoes on, I noticed a suspicious looking, box-like bulge in his right pocket. Now, we'd been talking about marriage and getting engaged for a really long time, but he had been taking his time and I'd learned not to expect anything. My heart started BEATING SO FAST but I wasn't sure if it was what I thought it was, and of course I wasn't going to say something and make him pull it out, so I followed him to his car and he drove us to the butte.
We made our way up. The whole time I am inwardly screaming and I keep looking at his pocket when he's not looking. Ya know.
We get to the very top. It's sunset. Perfect. He pulls me in to hug him.
He's been working evenings (and I work days) so we haven't seen each other a whole lot lately, and I'm enjoying my hug. I also know what's happening, and I'm simultaneously too excited and too nervous and too much of everything to process what's going on. When he tries to pull away, I don't let him.
He kinda laughs at me and says to let go. I say no. I KNOW WHAT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN AND WHILE I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S HAPPENING.
He tries a couple more times. Then he says his shoes are untied (ugh, I know, I'm marrying a cheese ball). I tell him he doesn't need to tie his shoes for standing there and hugging me. He laughs again.
Finally, I let him go, and he immediately drops to one knee and asks me to marry him.
The rest, ladies and gentlemen, is history.
(He thinks that I had no idea what was going on, though, and I've let him still believe that because he loves to tell the story of how I got in the way of my own proposal by not letting go of a hug )
What are some of YOUR fun stories? Let's lift each other's spirits (and our own)!
