I'll let you know if I hear of any domestic violence.

Crap, isn't saying she knows she'll die if she steps over the line, blood and gore enough?

Maybe....but some extra machismo never hurts in these situations.

My wife threatened to kick my ass then whup me round with a piece of 2x4 if I didnt propose....what could I say? I knew she was miss right there and then....I just didnt realise she was miss always frucking right.

I love telling the story of our engagement.

Well my now hubby came over to England for 2 weeks so I took him to London for 4 days while he was over. We had looked at stuff online together before he came to see what kind of stuff we would do while we were down there... you know the usual tourist stuff. Well he had it all planned out that he was going to ask me when we rode the London Eye... when it reached the very top. He already had the ring and I had absolutely no idea about any of it.

So we had planned to ride the wheel on the second day but just after we set off it began to rain and then got really misty/foggy so I said to ditch that idea till the next day and we would go to the Tower of London instead. This was in the Feb after the whole 9/11 thing so security was tight. Ron (my husband) was carrying the ring in his bum bag and started to worry that I would see it when they searched us... luckly for him they didn't remove anything from the bag. So there we spent the day we left at closing time 5.30 or 6pm. After we left I said 'come on, I'll take you to see St Paul's Cathedral' I told him it would be closed but we could walk around the outside of it. Anyhow we got over there and walked around the outside when we got to the steps at the front I noticed one of the small side doors open... me being me just walked right on in there... Ron followed. They were holding an evening song/choir service in there. We walked quietly around the inside then sat down to one side of the aisle. He told me later that he was in total awww with the Cathedral and decided that was the perfect place. Anyhow while we were sitting there he started going through his bum bag... and I am sat there thinking to myself 'why is he getting his camera out... there is no way a photo is going to come out in this light'. Well as you have probably guessed he pulled out a ring box and said 'Will you, Ash will you marry me?' I said YES! LOL and he didn't hear me He is sitting there giving me this strange look and said 'well, will you'? He caught the second yes. All I remember after that was feeling like I was walking on air.

I am sure thousands have already been proposed too on the London Eye... but I would bet proposals at St Paul's are a little less common.

The real story ....

Who pissed themselves?

Well mine was probably the least romantic We were in Starbucks at Baltimore International, I was waiting for my flight home, after one of many trips across the pond . He didn't propose it was more of a discussion over lattes and poppy seed muffin.

Oh how sweet!!

Not mine, we just did it

My friend's hubby came over to S.Africa for two weeks on vacation. They met the second week he was there, went back, sent her a ticket to meet his family 2 months later, went up to Edinburgh to show her the countryside, proposed on top of the Castle right there and then. She came back to S.Africa and in December flew back to get married in the UK. They had been together physically for about 3 weeks total.

They've been married for 15 or so years

Ours was somewhere in the Smoky Mountains alongside a stream and a waterfall. The road through the moutains goes right by it, and every time we pass it, we both spend ages trying to work out exactly where on earth it was ! LOL......


But I did the one knee thing too..... ya gotta do something romantic at times, and she still asks me when I'm going to do something romantic again..... c'mon once in 4 years is enough for me.
