We were walking on the beach at Mortehoe in Devon and he said "If I asked you to marry me what would you say" I said "Ask me again in 6 months" which he did outside a jewellers in Milton Keynes.

Restaurant in Montreal. I went down on one knee as soon as there were no customers left.




We wrote our own vows. Anyone else?

All this is proving to me that the romantic proposals you see in the filums is all make believe.

Apart from El Richo who seems to have taken it as real life

Told her I was treating her to a long weekend away, took her to Vancouver to see if she liked it, she did, asked her if she fancied living here, she did and is.

That was me - you have my life - except we were M42. Took a detour via the parents to ask permission - drove on home.

This is a popular scenario My Husband proposed to me whilst driving back from me meeting his parents for the 1st time. 'So will you marry me, one day, y'know when we can?'

Of course I said, 'Of course I will'

We got married on New Years Day 2003 on Anna Marie Island, on the beach whilst the sun set, I had the worst cold in the world. We had rented a house, my parents and his parents and DD were there, so it was a very quiet wedding night

Oh and we wrote our own vows to, have no idea what we said now though.

Mrs Sleepy: "My Visa is about to run out"...
Me: "And?"
Mrs Sleepy: "..And I'll have to leave & go back to Canada!"
Me: "Better move the wedding up then.."
Mrs Sleepy: "Is that a proposal?"
Me: "Needs must when the Devil drives.."
Mrs Sleepy: " Better start ringing people."
Me: "I'll need to ask your Dad's permission."
Mrs Sleepy: "No you won't.."
Me: "Yeah, I will.."
Mrs Sleepy: "Oh...O.K."

Romance isn't dead, it just smells like it is...

My OH told his friend that he was planning on asking me and then whilst VERY drunk his friend came and said congratulations! First I had heard of it! OH was just looking sheepish in the background! Dead romantic it wasn't!!

Oi, it's bloody well true dammit.

If you knew our background, it'd make more sense.

Still, reading the crappy proposal situations people have had, and the unimaginative other halves, is more depressing than reading about retarded families in another thread
