I’d be lying if I claimed that I never imagined my dream proposal. In a perfect world, my nails would be freshly manicured, I’d be wearing a little black cocktail dress, my makeup would be done up, and we’d be dining at a dimly-lit fancy restaurant. When the dessert course is served, the chef would write in chocolate on the dessert plate, “Would you marry me?” to which I’d find the Mr. on his knees with a big sparkly ring.
**sounds of a screeching halt**
Rewind. Rewind. Rewind. Movies have instilled in me outrageous proposal fantasies. In fact, my proposal story is the exact opposite. While it wasn’t a couch and Chinese-take out proposal like Anne Hathaway’s in Bride Wars…
it also wasn’t a blindfold take-you-to Tiffany proposal like Reese Witherspoon’s in Sweet Home Alabama.
But my actual proposal was far from fantasy. In fact, it involved two things: oily hair and a humping dog. In particular, this little guy who walked into my life when he was 3 months old:

and how did Mokka play a part in the proposal?
Because I just love to keep you in suspense, you’ll have to stay tuned for the next installment of our proposal story.
Did you have a dream proposal? And if you did, was your actual proposal anything like it?
ooh a cliffhanger. 
it sounds like we have similar proposal stories, except my humping dog was at grandma’s house for the weekend! i still wouldn’t trade it for anything, though.
sooooo mean! Gosh, I couldn’t wait to read how that cute little puppy would play into this tale of the oily, humping proposal! Well, I don’t have a proposal of my own just yet…I am waiting. I actually can’t really imagine what he will do. I know it will be a shocker and a great surprise…as I love surprises and he loves surprising me! I have tried to think how he will do it, but it’s pointless. I guess I just have to wait and see. Speaking of such, can’t wait to read the rest of this story!
Haha, my cousin proposed to his now wife exactly how you started you post, chocolate written on dessert plate! I can’t wait to hear your story!
I always dreamed of my perfect proposal in front of a beautiful painting at an art museum. It was far from that but still very special.
Your dog looks so cute and innocent in that picture!
awww cute pup! ugh my proposal was when i was getting ready to go out he admitted he was going to do it at dinner with our friends but couldnt wait.. i had messed up hair because i was still doing it and non makeup face eating some tofu “rice pudding replica” my mother had made for me hahaha the horror!! hahaha
Awww your dog is such a cutie!:) Can’t wait to hear the proposal!
Anything involving a dog that cute has got to be good.
My proposal story is so unromantic it was romantic: on an empty train heading into Tokyo, around midnight, with no ring!
I didn’t have a dream proposal but mine was definitely dream! My Fiance proposed on Halloween night (My favorite holiday) while i was wearing a black dress with red tights and sky high pumps lol At the place we shared our first kiss at almost 7 years ago!! *sighs*
Love stories of proposals. Most get distracted by the diamond engagement ring but the little details are the ones which make it special. Cute dog.
Is that a Wheaten? What a cute pup!
Please tell me what kind of dog that is so that I can get one EXACTLY LIKE IT!
Mokka is a mix between a yorkie and a poodle. He was 3 months old when that photo was taken and weighed about 6 lbs.. he’s fully grown now and weighs 14 lbs. He’s a handful and still acts like a puppy!
my proposal was not what i expected at all. i have always pictured going out to dinner on the plaza at a really nice restaraunt and then going on a horse and carriage ride and having him stop and get on his knee and ask me there. in actuality, it happened like this: my FI and dad are in a band together and to make a long story short, they had a gig one night and he played a song for me and then proposed to me in front of everyone! it was amazing!
