Where or How Did You Propose Marriage

[RonJ]

I asked Mary in the front seat of a 1965 Ford LTD. She deserved a lot better.

 

[NCTexan]

A HOJO like coffee shop in Denton, Texas.

I wasn't very fancy... and certainly not a Hollywood venue, but it seemed to have worked!

That was 42 years ago... and she's not traded me yet.

At an Indian mound overlooking the Missouri River at sunset. I was suave even in my youth.

On a hike in the woods, at a local park

 

[truckermike]

"How much money do want TO DO THAT?" Its cheaper just to marry you

 

[gr8AmericanBash]

In the living room of her apartment, dancing and listening to Frank Sinatra.

 

[conn ak]

They told me that I'd be getting married....both of them as I recall.

 

[rge1066]

I had plans to propose to her in the park on a hill overlooking a monument in the fall... But the engagement ring wasn't ready until early December, so I had Christmas morning in mind. I decided to compromise and just propose about two weeks before Christmas, at home in front of the Christmas tree. It was good enough - she said yes!

Which time?

 

[feralmerril]

First ex wife asked me. (our child was involved). My present wife, and I drove home on a trip and I asked her back there.

 

[sureshotbob]

We were already living together and it was in bed after having nooky

.

 

[scoutsdad]

Kind-a-like sureshotbob, we were already living together and Valentine Day was coming up. 28 years later and we would both do it again.

 

[GatorFarmer]

Via text message approximately four days after we first spoke on the phone. My friend bet me a hundred dollars that I wouldn't do it. We'd been drinking, naturally. So I asked Martti to marry me. She said yes. I never did get my hundred bucks.

We'd met via internet personals and didn't actually meet face to face until six days before the judge married us. As I'm fond of saying, things worked out about as well as that sort of thing is going to.

We're still together almost three years later and have two children though.

 

[JOERM]

I can't remember.

[BarbC]

We were laying in bed, and he had been running back & forth to Virginia where he had to transfer and was home for the weekend, and he had drank a 12-pack and said, "So, do you want to get married or what?" I said, "I guess." So the next day, he had to ask again.

Such a romantic. We got married in the backyard of the house we had a contract on and he wore shorts and then we went to the beach.

We actually didn't live together until 2 months after we were married. 7 years later, we still practically don't.

 

[creedekid]

I showed up for breakfast with a bag of donuts. I had ordered her ring from the jeweler who was next door to the bakery. He agreed to open up early Saturday morning so that I could pick up the ring. I hid the ring box in the bag of donuts and she found it as she was taking the donuts out of the bag. That was 31 years ago.

 

[Tom M]

I think the conversation went something like:

Me - You wanna get married?
Her - Yeah, OK.
Me - When?
Her - Whenever. No snow, though.
Me - Cool.

34 years later, and our conversations haven't changed all that much. That said, I don't want to live without her in my life.
