Marriage Proposal Stories

[angel_luv]

I'll start. :D

This afternoon Bo took me to our favorite park- one which we early in our dating relationship named Paris Park.

The story behind the name: I had always daydreamed about how romantic it would be to meet my future husband in Europe. I envisoned my crossing a bridge one way and he coming across it from the other direction, the two of us meeting in the middle, our eyes meeting, and then us deciding to travel on together forever.

Our first time at the Park, about a month into our dating relationship, I told Bo what I had imagined and he had us re-enact it.
We pretended a football goal, near our bridge was the Eiffel Tower. It was really sweet.

So today, Bo went to Jim's and bought us tortilla soup ( my favorite) and packed it and a blanket and would only tell me that we were going on a picnic.
We got to the park and went to a spot near " our bridge" at which point Bo presented me with three gorgeous sunflowers ( my favorite flower).

We ate lunch and then Bo asked me if I wanted to go for a walk, like when did the first time we ever went to the park.
We went over the bridge and Bo stopped in the middle of it and kissed me- our first kiss on our bridge.

Then Bo said, " Do you remember when you told me about your daydream of meeting your future husband on a bridge in Europe?"

Then he went to re-enact it, which I at first didn't think anything of because Bo is sweet and sentimental like that.

But as I walked across the bridge to go to my side of it for the re-enactment, it suddenly occurred to me: " Wouldn't this be a super romantic way to propose."
I met Bo in the middle of the bridge and he was narrating the re-enactment and he said, " You're in Europe on the bridge and crossing it. You see a guy..."

" A really good looking one," I interjected.

Bo went on, " You run into each other and then he gets on his knee and asks, " Will you marry me?"

By this point Bo was on his knee holding out towards me the most gorgeous engagement ring ever.
And I said: "Seriously?????" and " Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I proposed to my wife in our hotel room in Florence, Italy over-looking the Basilica di Santa Croce over some tiramisu.

[Trainwreck2100]

looks like I'll take back my title of "Spurstalk's favorite virgin"

[desflood]

That's great Angel. Congrats!

[BruceBowenFan]

Congratz

[Dr. Gonzo]

Congrats Veronica. You two are great people and I wish you two the best.

[DannyT]

you cant make a ho a house wife....but in this case shes a virgin....so tell us when the wedding is so we can start the countdown....I think I have to congradulate bo moreso on this one


but good luck to both of you

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

And just like that Slovenian hearts all over the world are breaking tonight....

Congratulations!!!! All the luck in the world to you two. Liz echoes those sentiments and demands pictures of the ring ASAP. I'm assuming that this will be a true Spurstalk wedding with you guys exchanging your vows in the Quatro and Reverend Midge as the officiant.

Our proposal story was pretty basic. I took a knee in the middle of the living room of my apartment, took out the ring, popped the question. We'd be talking about marriage for a while already so there wasn't exactly much element of surprise in any of it.

Once again, congratulations to you both. :toast Here's to forever!

[DannyT]

and for the record my wife proposed to me...and she is why we are still together.


Strong woman...

[Kriz-Maxima]

Congrats!

[MannyIsGod]

Congrats Angel. Bo, you gotta do what you gotta do to get laid.

[ashbeeigh]

Amazing story Veronica! You two are amazing and I wish you all the best!

[Jekka]

Congrats, you two! I would like to echo easjer's sentiments and demand pictures of the ring!

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

What's the fascination with seeing the ring?

[duncan228]

Congrats angel_luv, that's so wonderful! I'm thrilled for you both. What a sweet, romantic way for Bo to propose. I hope you both make each other's dreams come true forever.

[DannyT]

wow do you want to see if he did it up right?


everyone wants to see how big the "ring" was...

and its easy to talk big when you back in muslim america, mich.

[Kori Ellis]

Ahh.. how cute! Another SpursTalk couple on the way to the altar. Congrats to you both.

I think you know the story of LJ's proposal to me but if not (from another thread):


LJ and I knew/talked about getting married on the phone before we even met. I flew to San Antonio to meet him for the first time in April 2002 and we officially got engaged in May.

The engagement day was very romantic. I was taking a shower at his townhouse and when I came out, all the lights to the bedroom were out and the room was filled with red, white and pink candles. There were rose petals all over the bed along with a dozen long-stemmed red roses.

On the bed were also a few cute items: A Princess Barbie doll that he cut the hair a little shorter and colored the hair with a Sharpie so that it would look like me. Four stuffed animals dogs representing each of my dogs (I had 4 dogs when I lived in L.A.). Also a few cards that he had written some very nice things. This is when I thought he was going to propose. But that wasn't it.

After this whole presentation, we went downstairs to watch the NBA playoffs. At halftime, he went upstairs to get something then came back down. As I was walking across the room, he grabbed my hand and got on one knee. And said, "Princess, I love you so much. I love you so much. Will you marry me?" and presented the ring.

I said, "Of course" and we lived happily ever after.

[Jekka]

wow do you want to see if he did it up right?

and its easy to talk big when you back in muslim america, mich.

It's not about size, it's just interesting to see what rings guys pick out. It's a statement about how he has interpreted her taste, or alternatively, his taste - it's almost like a cultural artifact. I'm sure not every woman looks at it with the same academic nerdiness that I do, but that's why I think it's cool to see the ring.

[I. Hustle]

That sounds pretty ghey.




JK are you going to at least give him oral now?

[MannyIsGod]

wow do you want to see if he did it up right?

:lmao

If the last part was directed at me I'll just tell you that I'm in San Antonio.

mwahahahaha mwahahahaah mwahahahaha...
Allt he cute single Slovenia guys are all mine now...
ahahahahahaahahahah


:devil
just kidding...
:D

[Big P]

I was waiting for the " Yo holmes, off to Bel Aire"....congrats

[angel_luv]

Thanks all for the kind wishes and thanks to those of you who shared your engagement stories.

Once I regained my power of speech after Bo proposed, one of my first thoughts was how excited I was about getting to share the news with all of you here on Spurstalk.

I would have posted about our engagement earlier yesterday evening, but Bo whisked me off to Schlitterbahn for the park's Christmas celebration.
And after that, Bo's parents had brownies, ice cream, and champagne for us at their house.


Side note about Schlitterbahn this holiday season:
The park is set up for Christmas time with lots of gorgeous lights, sledding down a water slide :wow, ice skating etc.

We had a great time there. It is worth taking the trip up there to experience it all. And if you go around 6 it is not crowded at all- or at least it wasn't last night.













mwahahahaha mwahahahaah mwahahahaha...
Allt he cute single Slovenia guys are all mine now...

You should marry a Slovenian. That would be awesome... not quite so awesome as marrying Bo, but only I get to do that anyway. :D

[Jekka]

Good job with the ring, Bo. And it looks lovely on you, Veronica :)

[attention whore]

:spin:spin

[Sunshine]

Congrats Angel! And the ring is gorgeous.

Dean and I were in Port Aransas back in May and we went on a moonlight walk along the beach. During the walk he got down on one knee, pulled the ring out of his pocket, dropped it into some seaweed, found it, then asked me to marry him.

We got married on October 25th.

[ShoogarBear]

Congratulations

[Cupid]

I aim to please. :tu

[Strike]

Congratulations.

My proposal to my wife was nothing all that special. I proposed during a refractory period. Looking back, maybe I should've given it more thought when my brain was running on all cylinders.

Hindsight...

[bigzak25]

that's pretty cool! congrats to both of you! God Bless!

If I asked that in Port Aransas I'd get a huge no....

[DarkReign]

Congrats Angel. Im proposing to my girl in about two weeks in Florida in front of her familly on Christmas.

I sincerely hope you asked her father for her hand in marriage first.

[DarkReign]

Congratulations to you both.

My proposal was weak at best. Better to leave that story alone, its my one true regret in life that I didnt do that a whole lot different than I did. Ah well, hindisght.

[Supergirl]

in my case, there was never actually a proposal, per se...my now-spouse and I had been talking for a couple years theoretically about what it might look like if we were to have a ceremony of some kind, if we were to take that step. Meanwhile, we had become more and more Jewish (even though she's not Jewish by birth) celebrating Shabbat, holidays, etc...so at some point we decided the next step would be to meet with rabbis. You know, just to continue our hypothetical research and talk about what it might look like if we got married.

We interviewed 2 rabbis, and when we showed up to meet with the first one (who was not the one who married us) she said "congratulations on your engagement!" We looked at each other in confusion and said "are we engaged? I guess we are..."

So at that point, we were "engaged." We got married a year later. About 85 people attended our ceremony and Cambridge, MA reception, and then we had regional receptions throughout the year in Miami, San Antonio, and Portland OR.

[mrsmaalox]

My proposal was simple, he said, "Okay, yes or no, will you marry me? Take a minute to think it over because I only ask once." So I replied, "Hmm, well then I guess no". So then he proceeded to ask me everyday, at least 10 times per day, until I finally broke down and said "yes" just so I could have a little peace and quiet!! :lol

And congrats to you Angel and Bo! :toast

[angel_luv]

Aww Bo is so romantic.. i'm so happy for you guys!! That's so sweet! Did ya'll meet on spurstalk? You know, I met my boyfriend from here almost two years ago.. nobody knows who he is :p: but I hope one day to marry him. :)

Hey there! Great to see you on the board! You are in my prayers. I hope all is well.

Here's to health, happiness, and a future proposal for you. :D
Your mystery boyfriend is blessed to have you in his life.
And I am dying to know who he is!

Post #8:



Oh yeah, the details......

It was our anniversary on Monday, she was expecting a fancy dinner. I had dropped fake hints by mentioning we should go to the Tower or downtown, etc. All the while, I had a private theatre rented out to play her favorite movie, Pretty Woman, which she was too young to see when it was first run in theatres. So I drove around in circles to confuse her, but finally I took her to the theatre.

After the movie, the credits rolled, as we got up to leave, the projectionist faded in a personal slideshow that I had made synced up to a song I had picked out. It highligted our relationship together along with pictures of our son. At the end of the slideshow, the question was popped. When she accepted my proposal, I told her to turn around and show the ring to our Moms. She was surprised to find out that they were there too to share the moment.

Yeah, mushy, I know.

Forgive me guys.

:)

Congrats!

[1Parker1]

Danyo, I remember reading your proposal story before and I still gotta say, it's one of the MOST romantic stories I've heard. You did well! :tu :)

[DarkReign]

Danyo, that is fucking awesome.

[sa_butta]

Congrats, nice ring BTW.

[Dr. Gonzo]

I have one but it's not romantic at all.

It was the day after my second car accident because I'm a drunk bastard and I decided to check myself into a rehab clinic in the hill country. I had purchased a ring a few weeks back and was waiting for her birthday but I was going to end up missing it. So in all my soreness and pain of my rollover, I got down on one knee in our bedroom and proposed. She said yes.

I'm blessed to have such an incredible person in my life that decided to stick with my shit one last time and support me while I went to get help for my problem. I wasn't able to propose the way I planned to do it but it happened the way it was supposed to happen.

[SpursWoman]

You guys, too?? Holy Smokes! Congratulations!!

[Melmart1]

Thanks goodness you finally told everyone, Midge! Now I don't have to remember not to mention it on here. Not that I have been around much lately, :lol but at least I can say congrats publicly now!

[Dr. Gonzo]

Thanks!

Even though I've never met either of you, I wish you the best in your life together. Marriage is a lot of hard work, but it also can be very rewarding. Here is to experiencing the rewards of life together! :toast
