Question How did your guy/girl propose?

Could you tell they were nervous or something was up? How did you propose, or how did s/he propose to you? Did they do the whole romantic room-covered-in-rose-petals scene, or did they just do it at a place like Tony Romas over a garlic loaf, like my friend?

Errr...Nope! He doesn't know a thing about this thread, actually

I'm just curious how everyone was proposed to/proposed after hearing his friend's story two weeks about how his friend proposed at Tony Romas Restaurant, over a garlic loaf and MP3 player for extra ambience!

After a nice walk...New Year's in the spot where the wedding would have taken place when no one was actually in the ballroom (planned it to be late that night knowing it would be cleared out). No mushy details...not like it matters anymore anyway.

Then again, I did pull a pretty good April Fools prank this year involving talks with parents and a good friend regarding shotguns and pregnancy.

One does not simply propose his way into Mordor.
It's going to be a little more difficult than you expect!

I will bite and answer seriously.

We wen to Destin Fl. I chartered a 42 ft sail boat. The mate cooked a filet dinner, while we enjoyed the ride through the Bay. I gave her a dozen roses and then asked is she wanted to pose for a pic on the front of the boat. (This way the mate could take a pic). When we got up front, I asked and gave her the ring. She said yes.



Then we woke up at 3:30am the next morning for a deep sea trip trolling for king mack. She is the best!!!!

Hah! That's awesome!! So they actually captured THE moment on film? That's cool. Not many people will have a photo like that, showing the real-time genuine reactions!

create a thread on azine and allow post whoring for about 1 hour before locking it down... now make her read through it...

now she will have at least 20 pages of nonsense to read through, but on the last post put a picture of the ring and write "Turn around"... get on a knee and propose...

I said, "well, baby, your VISA is about to expire. It's either marry me or they deport you."

how could she refuse something as romantic as that?

yup! My ex brother-in-law called me and he was all excite as he found me a girl. A Vietnamese girl that is 23 (I am over x2 her age)...

No thanks.

My friend's brother brought in a bride from Eastern Europe (can't remember exactly where). He shelled out a boatload of money to get through the red tape and pay her airfare. They get married and 2 month later, she took off. Sadly, she will probably get her passport. She'll probably say he beat her or treated her badly so she had to leave.

That's not funny...

He took me out on the boat in the Newport Beach bay thingy and put the ring box in his camera case, waited till we got out to our favorite spot and told me I should grab the camera and take a picture, and voila! I knew it was coming though because dumbass listed me as a credit reference with the jeweler, who called me to verify his employer and stuff. But it was still wonderful.

phase I, i took her up to the local mountains. there's this national forest with trails/streams, and it's also the very first place we went on a date. we hiked all the way to stuvesant falls. with the waterfall in the backdrop and me playing 'lady' by kenny rogers on my mp3 player (she has always known that this song will be playing the moment i propose). i got on one knee and did the deed. and, yes she was completely surprised and so awestruck that she forgot the entirety of my speech except for the "will you..." part.

so anyways, she says yes as i am giving her the phony 1/2 ct. ring (details to come). i'll move on the rest of the night since you guys wouldn't want to hear about all this sappy stuff.

we hike back to the car and head out to phase II of her birthday surprise which turned out to be an evening of fun at Dave & Buster's at the Block in Orange. here she is greeted by 40+ of our closest friends when she was expecting a nice, quaint romantic dinner with yours truly. it becomes not only a birthday party but also an engagement party of sorts.

after the greetings, i excused myself to go prepare phase IV which was a suite that i had rented for the evening. got there, checked in, decorated the bed with red and yellow roses and lit candles. after doing so i returned to D&B's and the rest of the crowd. by this time my fiance had made the rounds and shown the fake ring in all it's puny cubic zirconian glory to everyone. it was at this moment that phase III was put into motion. i handed her my birthday gift to her (a gucci keychain holder) with the real engagement ring, a much larger rock, and matching guard ring hanging inside of it. it was a tremendous shock to her and our friends, and being that many of her girl friends are self-proclaimed "experts" on fine jewelry, redemption came in an amazing fasion.

after all the festivities, we retired to our suite and well, the rest is too explicit to describe on this PG forum.
