Share Your Proposal Story!!

Jasmine, on January 4, 2021 at 4:50 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 33

My fiancé proposed to me on a cruise (with his parents) after our college graduation in 2018. It was my first real cruise outside the military so I was excited about that in itself. We were all dressed up for Captain's night and went to dinner. After, we went to the top deck for photos....or so I thought lol. His parents went first while I was freezing and it was finally our turn. He asked me if I was really that cold cause I was shaking. I said yes, let's get this over with already lol.

He replied back with "maybe this will warm you up" and got down on his knee. My initial reaction was shock but what came out was "omg I hate you" Smiley xd in regards to his cheesy statement and we both just started laughing. His parents were recording but unfortunately, it's super dark. They didn't want to turn the light on on the phone because they thought I was going to figure it out. It definitely warmed me up though cause I totally forgot I was ever cold to begin with lol.


What's your story?? Was it romantic, adventurous or funny??
All videos/photos are highly encouraged!

    It was the night before our 8 year anniversary.
    I was highly anticipating a proposal on our anniversary!
    He surprised me with a proposal during a late night evening walk with our pup.I didn’t even realize he was acting so weird, because he was trying to carry a hoodie instead of wearing it. Then went to drop off the hoodie in my car, and our pup chased after him which resulted in my chasing after her! It was a mess haha.So finally we took a stroll around the block and kept insisting puppy needed to go potty(she didn’t) and when I noticed he wasn’t walking next me anymore, I turned around and he was down on his knee under the moon and stars with doggo all excited too😂He asked me to marry him as I stood there in my PJs and trashy bun😂It was perfect and I loved every moment!

    Ah yes!! I love it LOL. FH didn't show any signs of nervousness or acted weird at all that night. When I thought about it, he was a little weird prior when I went into his backpack for my headphones. It didn't click then but I also never go into his backpack so I understand why lol

    My husband asked what I wanted for Christmas. We had a trip to Disney planned for just after New Years so I could run the marathon. So, I asked if we could go 3 days earlier so we could ring in the New Year in Magic Kingdom. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while. He agreed and I adjusted our trip. The nExt day he called to let me know that he spent hours on the phone trying to get reservations to eat inside the castle (something he’s been wanting to do). He wound up finally getting a breakfast reservation, but it was for 4 people. I’m case you don’t know, this meal is super expensive and it must be paid when you book. The extra 2 people cost about $150. He seriously made the biggest deal about it and it got me suspicious. (We got it switched to dinner for 2 later)
    He dropped a bunch more clues and I knew it was coming
    So the day of he hid the ring in my backpack and then would NOT let me touch it! I seriously thought it was going to burn a hole in his pocket and he wouldn’t make it until dinner. I thought he would ask as soon as we entered the park. But when he didn’t I was able to relax and enjoy the day. He rode all my favorite rides with me(even the ones he hates), watched the parade, and we had an amazing day. We get to the restaurant and he starts freaking out!! He didn’t know where he was going to it, the room was so small, there were so many people, he was texting under the table. Honestly I don’t even remember the dinner because I was so nervous/anxious. He kept saying we needed to find somewhere to take a picture (he hates pictures). He finally snuck off to talk to our server and she let him know when Cinderella was going on break and the lobby area would be free (with photographers). So we had to wait until “Cinderella was having tea” to leave so we could take a picture 🤷‍♀️ (We took picture on the way in). Any way we get down to the lobby and the photographers are waiting for us and take out picture and then he got down on one knee. I was shaking and laughing the entire time. I never even said yes I just shook my head. As soon as we left I bursted out “I knew!” I couldn’t hold the secret in any longer. Gosh that was long, sorry! Share Your Proposal Story!! 1

    I had set up a photoshoot in preparation for our 8 year anniversary (since we never had any nice/professional photos taken of us in all our years of dating, I wanted to do something special)! Little did I know, my now fiancé was also in contact with the same photographer setting up a surprise proposal! For one of the photos, she had us back to back. Then she told us to turn around and face each other, and when I did he was on one knee! It was a proposal & engagement shoot all in one (so clever)! I will cherish those photos forever 💓

    He didn’t believe me at first.
    It did upset him a tad because he really thought he did good at keeping a secret. (I think secrets actually hurt him) but he didn’t really care.

    My fiance and I had previously agreed that we wouldn't ever get married, so our engagement was a total surprise to me! We were on vacation for our dating anniversary, and stayed at a hotel on a lake. After a fancy dinner where we both dressed up on our last night there, we were sitting on the porch of the hotel, watching the sunset over the lake, when he said something along the lines of, "Well, I guess now is as good a time as any." It took me a minute to realize what he said, and I was wondering what he meant, so I turned my head to ask him to clarify, and saw him kneeling in front of me! It's probably a good thing I was sitting down at the time, since I was so shocked.

    Awe man. My fiance isn't good with elaborate planning. He even hates ordering food over the phone lol. Its pretty funny though that sometimes when you're overly excited or acting weird, you think you're completely normal lol

    Lol saved by the chair! Sometimes things change in people. At least you were both on the same page to say yes even though it was something neither of you thought you'd do.

    Every year we go up in the mountains to cut down a Christmas tree. This year, he invited my immediate family as well as his own, which I thought was a little weird at first, but I figured it could be due to his grandparents getting older and wanting to include them in traditions. We got to the spot and started walking up to get our tree and I was leading so he actually took a picture of the ring box and me walking ahead 😂 I cut down our tree and we took a picture as both our families just kind of stood in a half circle watching (again, I thought it was weird but had no idea lol). Then he asked for us to switched places for a picture which got me confused, and right before he knelt down, he looked back at our family and just laughed nervously and that’s when I knew. The rest is history haha!

    That is so precious and has an extra personal touch being that it was during a tradition! Perfect idea. So sweet that your families were able to be there for it!

    Share Your Proposal Story!! 4

    It was my 30th birthday. He rented an Airbnb in Orlando, FL and invited my childhood friends to come down. Orlando is a special place for us because it was where I was living when we "met" on Twitter and had our first date. Anyway, I requested that we dress up for dinner since we were in a pandemic and couldn't go to a restaurant. After the fantastic dinner my FH made, everyone went around the table talking about how much I'd grown and how much I meant to them. When it was his turn, he was so nervous and talking fast and the ring box got stuck in his jacket when he went to pull it out LOL. But I just smiled extra hard and nodded, finally saying "yes" after two minutes of goofy silence.

    The moment he stood up while talking, my friends all pulled out their phones and started crying. My Godbrother was behind my FH and he was trying to get the perfect shot. I literally stopped to look at him in confusion, he was so funny!

    I knew he was going to propose because he left the ring cleaning receipt in our family car. It was given to his mother by his father and she passed it on to him, which also became a clue after she mentioned giving him something "special" in front of us.

    He proposed again in front of our two sons when we got back home. I blushed and let out a "yes" just as dramatically as the first time LOL.

    My story's all over here, but tl:dr...

    He acted squirrelly for a month, we went to a NYE party, all our friends were in on it, I got super suspicious, we played a game, I got passed over until last, he quoted Moonstruck, my friends got mad at me for asking them if he was going to propose.

    He took me on a trip for my birthday last year to Asheville. He was acting super weird the whole time we were there. I could tell something was up, but I suspected it was something bad not that he was going to propose to me! LOL He was talking to his brother the whole first day we were there. I was so suspicious and he could tell I knew something. I remember he was frustrated that I kept asking why he was talking to him, so we left the pool to go upstairs and shower for dinner. He couldn't hold it in any longer, and asked me if I wanted it now or later. This is when I knew he was going to propose. So there he is getting on knee proposing as I am butt naked about to get in the shower. He isn't the best at planning stuff or keeping secrets, so it just kind of fitted us. It was super nice to be able to spend the rest of the week with him newly engaged just the two of us in the mountains.
