It was last February and I had the day off from work. So I was cleaning the house looking all scrubby when he came home from work early. He gave me a huge hug and kiss and told me how much he loved me and how wonderful and beautiful I was. At first I thought he wanted something, like buttering me up. Then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I didn’t respond so he added in that he wasn’t kidding. I obviously said yes! It was perfect.
My fiance proposed by waking me up with breakfast in bed. As I started to eat he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I’m told I had to physically shake myself awake before I said yes.
In October my fiance flew out from Southern California to Chicago, had my grandparents take me to “dinner” and surprise proposed to me on Navy Pier. He scared me so bad I was shaking and crying, but it was the happiest day of my life! we then went on a romantic dinner cruise and started planning the rest of our lives together!
We had only been dating 27 days, but we had known each other for 5 years and had become good friends. One day he came over after work and before i even had a chance to close the door behind him, he got down on one knee. I could tell he was extra nervous. I was so anxious and couldn’t hold in my tears, I barely remember everything he said. He was afraid I would turn him down because we had only been dating such a short time. But of course I said yes.
In May of last year my fiance made me a beautiful breakfast and half-way through he proposed. It was a very low-key, special and personal moment!
He did it at home, while i was doing homework, just over a week ago! I was reading and I noticed him hovering nearby, and I said “what do you want?”
when i looked at him, he was all dressed up in a tie and everything. he got down on his knee and asked me to be his wife. awwwwww.
My Son proposed to his Fiancee at Braddock Trails when the wild Trillium were blooming in the Spring.
I came home and went to our room and there on our bed were a dozen roses, tons of candles and rose petals scattered everywhere. I then turned around and my bf was down one knee and asked me to be his wife 
My fiance proposed at the Chicago Botanic Gardens, in a little english inspired garden as we were sitting on a bench taking in the gorgeous scenery.
On Wednesday, July 16, the last night of our vacation, we were spending the evening on the balcony playing a drinking card game we play all the time, just the two of us. About two drinks into the game, around midnight, I lost a hand and owed 10 drinks. He said, “ok, let me make you a deal” and moved the chair that I had my legs propped up on. I seriously thought he was going to make me do push ups instead of taking the drinks until he told me to cover my eyes. After asking if I was peeking, he got down on one knee and told me to open my eyes. When I did he had the ring box out & open. I was shocked. He said, “will you do my the honor of becoming my wife?” and I started crying and said, “of course, yes!”. I was so surprised and excited. I knew that he had asked my parents for their blessing but this was one souvenir I wasn’t expecting to come home with. He even yelled up at the people in the balcony above us announcing our engagement. It was so cute.
We didn’t have a proposal - we just decided to get married and set a date. Romantic? Now. Practical and us? Yes.
We were at the beach with his family who all knew he had the ring and were waiting for him to propose for days! One night, he and I went down to the beach at sunset with a glass of wine to relax. We were sitting on the sand chatting, when the winds changed and brought the biting flies! I lasted only a couple of minute with the flies before I got up and went to the water’s edge. He asked me to come back (because he was waiting for the moment to propose) and stubborn me refused and couldn’t understand why he was still sitting there! Finally, he realized the moment was in front of him so he walked over to me, got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!
October 30th 2007 was the day that my FH decided to ask me to be his life partner, best friend and his wife. The night unfolded with a romantic dinner at one of my favorite restaurants.. Love was definitely in the air, and when the waiter brought out a tray full of red rose petals and a statue of an Eiffel Tower. My FH kept me guessing with a game of ‘fortune’ and of course the end result was a spectacular engagement ring. It was everything Iimagined and much much more. The night didn’t end there; the Mr. had one more surprise arranged for me. One by one our families walked into the restaurant and they all enjoyed an unforgettable meal together!
he took me to a park in brooklyn, nyc and handed me an envelope with a picture of a $19.95 ring, told me he wants me to marry him, but the ring didnt come in time for the proposal. i looked at him like he was crazy and say… “err, i dont want my finger to turn blue from the ring. so i’ll say yes when you get me something real.” he looked at me with his boyish smile and say gotcha. pulled me to a benched and handed me a hand written poem, with the real ring.
my fiancee took me to NYC for our anniversary, and threw me off a few times to the point where I had relaxing and forgotten all about our anniversary and the hope that we would get engaged on this trip. We went to dinner one night at one of our fav. spots, and got down on one knee right when our families walked through the door, shocking me to death! We all had dinner together and it was just the best day
My fiance flew to visit me for my belated-birthday weekend. The morning after he arrived, after what seemed like a normal routine of breakfast and getting ready to go out for the day, we went for a walk around the woods “loop” behind my parents’ house where I walk my dog. At the end of the loop he put his arm around me, turned me towards him, got down on one knee and started, “all right….”
There was a “will you marry me?” and a “yes” in there, but it’s all such a blur! We’re going to be married at my parents’ house, which made his engagement location choice is extra special
it was a Thursday night in June we had been dating for awhile and had moved in together about 2 months earlier.. It was a stressful day and i was very exhausted so when BF got home from work he cooked me dinner and offered me a massage.. As he put lotion on and massaged me he talked to me in a french accent (( he’s famous for his impersonations..)) Not thinking anything of it he asked me to remove my rings so he could lotion my hands.. i did and after the massage as i turned around to ask for my rings back he pulled out the engagment ring from his pocket asked if i’d be his forever girl and proposed! :]
He took to a fancy dinner at the Top of the Hub (in Boston) and I thought for sure he would do it there. When dinner and dessert passed with no proposal, I thought that was it. On the way back to the T he detoured us around the reflecting pool of the CS Center. Then, in one of the nooks, beside the pool, he proposed.
I’m glad he didn’t do it in the restaurant because I had serious Ugly Cry Face. It took me about 45min to compose myself enough to get on the T and head home.
We were moving to California (from the East coast) so I could attend grad school. Instead of flying cross country, we decided to have a fun road trip. Along the way we stopped to visit friends and family, as well as see some of the sights. One of the stops was Glacier National Park in Montana. The first day we were there we went on a day hike over the continental divide, and down to Hidden Lake. At the lake there were only 2 other people there fishing, and some mountain goats. After a quiet picnic lunch, he stood up, dug the ring box out of his backpack. I couldn’t believe it!
I love taking pictures, especially of flower gardens. So on a beautiful June afternoon he called to say that new lilies had opened up in one of his mom’s flower gardens. He said the colors were so vivid that I wouldn’t want to miss getting these blooms under my lens. So I headed over, spotted the newly open flowers and got to work! The ring was tied into the middle of one of the largest flowers. I didn’t even notice it until my lens brought it into focus! By that time, he was down on one knee. It was perfect…so are the pictures : )
