I am wondering about proposals, I have seen a lot of romantic ones, and a lot of non romantic ones. How did your hubby propose to you? Or how did you propose to your wife?

My husbands proposal to me was poo! It was a sort of half-hearted affair with no ring, and I had this whole romantic idea in my head, it was quite disappointing. He made up for it later on though with a gorgeous ring and he got down on one knee where I worked and everything. Therefore, I forgave him for his poor proposal!

My husband actually proposed to me on Christmas Eve night with his son! It was so awesome and romantic. At that point in our realtionship, it was pretty obvious that neither one of us where going anywhere else and that we were hooked on each other. The fact that he had his son actually hold out the ring was so romantic that I was crying up a storm!

This story is a little strange, but true. I was reading a book about whether or not Chaucer's Canterbury Tales were astrologically ordered. It pointed out that Chaucer made a big deal about the soldier being an Aries (Mars/Martial Arts, etc.)and the Wife of Bath having the sign of Venus, etc., and my professor said we shouldn't read that book! All you have to do to get me to read a book is say NOT to, so I started trying to learn enough about astrology to see if the book was nonsense or if it had some validity, as nobody knows the correct order of the stories. So I had to figure out how to cast charts I started out with my own together with He-who-is-now my hubby's chart and and did an overlay. I thought it was funny that the chart said that June 21 of that year was auspicious for marriage between the two of us and I was laughing and he asked what was so funny. When I told him, he said "I've asked you before and I'm asking you now, but I'm not going to ask you again!" It was June 20. I said OK, packed our bags and we drove up to Reno and got married the next day. It is true. He had been asking me to marry him for years and I never wanted to. I'd never given astrology much thought one way or another before, but after studying the Chaucer connection quite laboriously, I'm convinced that the Canterbury Tales probably were astrologically ordered. Some 40 years later, I can add that June 21 of that year was also a highly auspicious time to get married. Not very romantic maybe, but definitely auspicious.

my husband was not romantic. but I don't mind because Iam not a romantic woman. when we steady, we lived in different states. I lived in kansas city and he stayed at washington D.C. he proposed me thru phonecall. he just said "I had work, car and a place to stay but I need a wife". "do you want to be my wife?". I excepted but we get married around 1 year after he proposed to me because my parents wanted us to delay because they said my age too young. right now we already married for 9 years.

Uh, you know, I don't remember! I have been married for 23 years and he proposed a year before that. Oh yeahhh...He had given me a "pre-engagement ring", a little 1/10th of a carat diamond when we had been dating for 6 months. I guess it was sort of a more than dating but not engaged ring. A while after that, on either Valentine's Day or my birthday or some special day, he said he had one more gift he wanted to give me but he wasn't sure where he put it. I used to LOVE gifts so I was all excited and he then said oh yes, it's in his coat pocket. So I raced to his coat and searched the pockets and there was a black velvet box in one. I knew it was jewelry but never ever thought it was an engagement ring for some reason. When I opened it, I squealed and cried and we hugged and he said, "Well? Should I take it back?" and I said NO! and put it on my finger. I couldn't stop looking at it. I was really young and I was just dazzled. He never really said "Will you marry me," I don't think. We knew were getting married one day and it was kind of a given. I just didn't expect to get a ring at that time. We picked bands out soon after and I guess the rest is history. Not the most romantic way but, for me, it was worthy of squealing and tears. To this day, my husband hides a gift or two here and there on Christmas or my birthday so I can go find them. I am such a kid. lol.
