Well since you makeing me type all this ill make it long as i can........ Well it all started when we decided to go on vacation to Sanibel in the fall.......... we went down there to spen a couple weeks relaxing and so i can go fishing........welll each night we go for a walk on the beach while the sun is setting...mind you ive had the ring for a month or so just waiting for the right moment and working up the guts to do it. somewhere in the middle of our vacation i decided that there was no better time then when the sun was setting over the horizon, while we were standing on the sandy white beach. If you would like more i could go alittle further.

Ok, here's mine... my wife had been talking to me about rings for a long time and we had gone to several jewelry stores together so she knew it would be coming but she didn't know when. I got the ring and stashed it for a while to figure out how to give it to her.
Wanted it to be classy and simple... not cheesy. So I decided to surprise her at a romantic dinner. But how do I plan a fancy dinner without her knowing. Conveniently my high school reunion was coming up so I made reservations at our favorite restaurant under the guise of being for my reunion.
Early in the day, I dropped the ring and a dozen roses at the restaurant with instructions that they should bring them out at my request. I was really nervous that someone would steal this expensive ring but I figured what the hell.
On our way to the restaurant, I mimicked frustration at not having any idea what type of ring she wanted and suggested that I could not buy the ring by myself. I convinced her that we were not getting engaged for a while. At the restaurant, I had no idea when the right time was so I just sat there waiting. I was so anxious that I didn't even eat my filet... which is very strange for me.
Anyway, after a while, she went to the restroom and I told the waitress to bring the ring and flowers out. When my wife came out, the roses and ring box was open on the table waiting for her. After a couple seconds of shock, she realized what was going on and I asked her to marry me. The words were irrelevant at that point but had to be said. Everyone in the restaurant was watching us and then clapped and bought us a couple rounds of drinks when she said yes.
This is how I proposed.

When My husband and I were dating I asked him if he wanted to go on a trip to meet my parents and brothers. He agreed so we drove from New Bedford MA to Pittsburgh PA (12 hours) to get there finally and he tells me he forgot to pack Jeans and some other things would I mind taking him to the mall before we are to go to my mothers for dinner.
We went to the mall and while I was looking at shoes, he walked away and I couldnt find him anywhere - not a big deal no adays with cell phones but 9 years ago most people didnt have cells - so I had to go to the information desk and have him paged... keep in mind he had never been to Pittsburgh, did not have a way home, did not know where he was and didnt have my father or mothers phone number to call them ... well 45 minutes he shows up.
at that point I am seriously mad (and being a hot headed italian chick - that is pretty mad) we are now 10 minutes late for dinner at my mothers and her house is at least 25 minutes away. On the way there he asks if I mind If we stop at Starbucks for Coffee because it has been a long day. I was yelling at him the whole way for not understanding my mother and how she is going to react that we are late But if he cant wait 10 more minutes and have a cup of coffee with my mother then whatever who cares *blah blah blah ...
Anyhow I pulled into Starbucks still yelling at him and as soon as I pull into the spot before the car is even in park he jumps out and runs around to my side of the car
It is pouring down rain and I open the car door and saw him kneeling down, I actually started to yell at him for now being an idiot that he is soaking wet and dirty going to my mothers - then it hit me what was happening. He then told me that he feels he is the luckiest man in the world to go the sleep everynight with me by his side and waking up in the morning next to me and never wanted to know what it would be like to not have that
and would I give him the honor of living his dream every day.
I then started to cry and said yes -- we finally made it to my mothers house and apparently he had called her already and told her what he was planning on doing becuase she had everyone there - even my father who she hates!
Now every year for our aniversary along with whatever else he buys me a starbucks coffee mug
Sappy I know - But I still think it is sweet

BTW, I guess part of the proposal happened about 2 weeks before I actually asked. I took her father to lunch to ask his permission. Important detail IMO.

awe, nw, that's so cute.
so this is how a girl i know's hubby proposed. He hid the ring under her bed while she was away. When she came home, he said he'd left something in her room, could she help him find it... she agreed. While she was searching the floor, he reached under the bed and said he found it. That's when he kneeled and proposed... she began hittin him repeatedly asking 'what are you doing???'... she was so shocked she couldn't even enjoy the moment, she just kept hitting him...
