Marry me or get deported!
 

Okay so it's a dull Sunday afternoon and I'm a little bored. When I moved to Canada with my Canadian boyfriend we really didn't think marriage was necessary :blink: Obviously we were a little dumb to think that and decided it would be a lot easier if we got married. Anyway after we decided to get married we were on the Montreal Metro on our way to get the ring and I said to my OH "you realize you never actually proposed" to which he said "okay then marry me or get deported". My mother loves that romantic story!:rofl: We have been married just over 7 years.:eek:

So I just wondered if anyone has any good marriage proposal stories.

Hi
it's not funny but my O.H. proposed with the words "if I die in the war (Iraq) you'll get a pension". What could a girl say?
We've been married 17 years next month so it worked out!

best wishes

An ex boyfriend of mine asked me to marry him three times. I said no, no and no.

How's that? ;)

Re: Marry me or get deported!
 

IMO better that than a load of soppy sentimental nonsense!

you must be such a tease;)

At least she is consistent

We had just been arguing on the way to the site of our new house and OH said "Well are you speaking to me then" and when I said "I suppose so" he got down on one knee and proposed:rofl:

After meeting my future MIL and FIL for the 1st time, we were driving back up the A1, my boyfriend said "Will you marry me one day - y'know when we can?" We were both in the process of getting divorces. I suppose I must have passed some sort of test when I met my future Inlaws.

When our divorces were final we went and chose an engagment ring. He picked it up when it was ready and gave it to me as I was coming down the stairs - "there you go see if it fits".

Who said romance was dead?

Re: Marry me or get deported!
 

My proposal was similar to yours piff poff, We had decided if he passed his drivers test we would go and buy a ring, so we did because he passed then he said he wouldn't give it to me straight away he'd plan a surprise well when the big moment came he said "Well I bought it for you, you might as well wear it" The romance could have kncked me off my feet!!

We've been married 16 years.

mine said, "what would you say if i asked you to marry me?" I said, "Ask me in 6 months not now" 6months later we were passing a jeweller and he said, "go on, lets do it" and we went and bought a ring. So he never really asked:rofl:

Re: Marry me or get deported!
 

I asked my wife to marry me in a rickety old caravan on a site near Lowestoft, where she happened to be working at the time.

We celebrated by having fish n chips in the car over looking a canal.

That was when I was at the height of my romantic phase. :o

Re: Marry me or get deported!
 

My husband actually planned what was supposed to be a very romantic proposal, but I had no idea it was coming and spent the whole evening thwarting his plans :D

When we first started seeing each other neither of us had a car and as he was from St.Helens and I was from Liverpool we would both get the train into Lime Street and meet up there.

If we didn't feel like a meal, or a movie, or a night in the pub, we would walk around the Albert Dock or through the park behind St. George's Hall, we had our first kiss in the park.

When he decided to propose, we had a car, but he wanted to recreate the evening we first kissed, it was April and bloody freezing that year so he was going to skip the walk around the Albert Dock and go straight to the park.

He told me we should go into town for old times sake and leave the car, and he suggested we go to the park, but as I was getting into the whole trip down memory lane idea, I made him walk all over Liverpool for about three hours in the freezing cold and then it started to rain.

We got to the spot of our first kiss eventually, wet and really cold and he got the ring out (I had no idea he'd bought a ring) and proposed, I said yes, and then as I was so shocked, and so nervous, I followed it up with "I feel sick."

I've never lived it down in our family, the proposal that made me ill, he says it was basically me saying his proposal made me want to puke :o

We've been married for 14 years :wub:

Re: Marry me or get deported!
 

On the way home from a night out; didn't get a taxi, made me walk in high heels, worse the wear for drink, in the cold and drizzle. :curse:
He went down on one knee in the snicket, I thought be had fallen, then he said Marry Me. :wub:
Slight problem, neither divorce was through.:ohmy:
So three years later, we booked the registry office, got the kids out of bed early dressed in new toggs. :blink: They thought it was someone else getting married.
31st December 1999! Just in case the world stopped! :rofl:
Made it just our family - rang everyone else when we got home! :wub:
And now he taking us all back to his roots. A new adventure begins. :thumbsup:

Re: Marry me or get deported!
 

This is the truth: Back in 1972 both myself and the OH were pinko subversives who ridiculed the concept of marriage and even the idea of the nuclear family.

So we decided to take a plunge into existentialism and absurdity, with the added benefit of pissing off all four parents, and got married.

Still together, with two grown sons.

But Americans still don't understand irony.

Novo.

It was just over 14 years ago and we were due to pay what would have been Phil's first trip out to Canada - absolutely skint broke etc as flight payment due the following day - and my girlies were going out on a big P#$% up that Friday night.

So sulking got in the bath and plotted I was gonna force his hand.

Gets out of the bath wraps a towel around and and bursts through the lounge door saying "right you !!!'

There on the mantelpiece was a bottle of champagne and a little card which when I read it simply said

Marry me

Aww bless him

Gay

ps - we have been married 14 years tomorrow :wub:

Re: Marry me or get deported!
 

We had gone on our first holiday abroad together to Zante in August 1995, which just happened to be over my birthday.

On the day of my birthday we were woken up by thunder and lightening and pouring rain. I was not impressed so refused to get out of bed. OH got up to make brekky and get my cards and pressies.

When I got to his pressie, it was quite a large box which was filled inside with all other boxes etc, then when I got down to the last box he went down on one knee by the side of the bed and asked me to marry him. It was totally unexpected; and after that the sun came out and it was a glorious day. How romantic is that?

Been married 12 years now (although it seems like 25!).

We were approaching our 1st anniversary of being together and so i decided i would ask Geraint to marry me ( both divorces were through so nothing stopping us now i thought :D ). I planned a nice evening and unknown to me Geraint had also done the same.

It turned out that we both spent the evening trying to pluck up the courage to propose to eachother :wub:

In the end Geraint plucked up the courage first and we have just celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary ...

Friday 13th was and always will be a very special day for us :wub:

Re: Marry me or get deported!
 

I came to Montreal on holiday,2 days before I was set to leave a friend said lets go to a strip joint,not that interested but bored I said ok.

As luck would have it the place was closed so we went to a club,a woman came up to me and in French asked me to dance which I said "do what ?"

I stayed and 2 months later she asked me to marry her..

We just had our 20th anniversary so it's still working out fine here in Montreal.
