When we think of wedding proposals we think of red roses, candles, soft music and a very romantic ambience. Many couples remember their proposals as very romantic but more often than not I hear that 'we just decided to get married' rather than having a formal proposal.
Was yours romantic? How did you or your partner propose?

My future husband and I were at a wedding reception when he started talking about where we could live and bills and stuff. When he took me home , I asked him if that was a proposal . Of course he said yes and of course I said yes. That was almost 50 years ago with lots of love and problems in between . But I sure don't regret that decision .

I would love to say that I had a romantic proposal though it was anything but..
We had gone out with a couple of friends to a pub and whilst we waited to play a game of pool I asked my now husband to marry me, pulling out a ring I had bought the week before. To this question he replied no which stung. Holding back the tears he hugged me and after about five minutes turned to me and said 'oh what the hell, do you want to marry me?'. He said that it was because he wanted to be the one to ask in the old fashioned way (he did even ask my dads permission which I thought was sweet) and I suppose that is sort of romantic, though it got his friend to push him onto the floor onto one knee! We did get a cheer from our friends after I obviously said yes though.
Luckily non-romantic proposals do not set a line for the actual marriage. Yes, my husband is not really the romantic type still (it is more me) though we are very much in love and have a wonderful marriage so it really doesnt matter to me about the proposal anymore.
