Just curious, I always love hearing these kinds of romantic stories! DH and I just watched You've Got Mail last night and it got me into my sappy/mushy/romantic mood...
![]() So here's our story, the real quick version! Ryan and I both went to different colleges, but in the same general area, and one of our mutual friends noticed we were both single and basically set us up at a party one night-it was my best friend's 20th birthday party, and we all went bowling (yes, dorky, I know). Anyways, we started hanging out because we realized there was an attraction between us, and we just became inseparable! ![]() After going on a vacation during Christmas break our junior year, when we went to visit his parents, we both realized things were getting serious-we just kept spending more and more time together, until eventually, he proposed! The actual proposal made me cry, because Ryan was SO romantic and planned it all out, he knew there was this garden near school, it was like a little park, a public one but pretty hidden so no one really went there...anyways, he knew I loved that spot and so he took me there one night after a special dinner and blindfolded me, he led me into the little garden area, and told me to open my eyes...and it was GORGEOUS! He must have spent hours and hours doing it all-there was Christmas lights on the vines and plants, and candles all over the ground, it was amazing...I can't even explain it. I so wish I could have brought a camera! It was perfect. He's such a sweetheart-and we got married about a year and a 1/2 after our engagement. I'd love to hear everyone's stories, so type away! ![]() |

Chris and I just looked at each other and said "Let's get married" and that was it. Chris didn't really propose.

DH was my highschool sweetheart. We've been together since I was FIFTEEN YEARS OLD!! We grew up five miles apart from each other in a very rural county. We went to rival highschools and both ran track. We met on April 18 1995 at a track meet. I'd known him before this b/c he used to date a couple of my friends in Jr High. ANYWAY, at the track meet, he literally just walked up to me and asked me if I would go with him to his Jr Prom. I was like...uh...I don't know. Later on, after the track meet, he came up to me again and asked for my phone number. I gave it to him. He called me a couple of nights later. He eventually invited me to his older brother's wedding which was on April 28 and we've been together since then. Actually, we split up for nine months in 1999 and realized that we really missed each other and wanted to be together so we got back together. We got married on November 9, 2002 and ended up having two children!!

DH proposed to me on the phone...I was in my dorm room at college - he was at home. Actually - he asked me if I wanted to get married the next morning. I said that yes I would marry him but that I didn't want to elope right then. We ended up eloping about 4 months later.

Well, it was October 20th 2002, and I think it was a Saturday.... Anyway, it was a really nice day, so I told him after I got done with laundry I'd like to go to the beach (we were in California at the time).....So, I got done with laundry and we got ready, and drove down to Newport Beach. It was just sunset, and we decided to walk around the beach a little bit.....and it started to get cold, and dark, and there were creepy people out there, so we went back to the car.
Now, the day before he was being an idiot and was trying to play on a skateboard, hit a crack on the sidewalk and crashed, so his knees were both scrapped up really back and he kept complaining about them hurting..... Ok, so we get back to the car and I get in, but I started banging the sand off of my shoes while the door is still open, and I hear him complaining (yet again) as he get into my car and I think I said "what now!?!?! just get in the car, it's cold." something like that, or maybe "what is your problem, just get in the car..." Something oh so romantic, and he said something like "Ok. well, then take this." and I turned to put my shoes back on and see what he was talking about and there was this ring.....and he said after a long pause and a couple OMG's from me "I love you. Will you marry me?" ![]() ![]() ![]() -------------------- Erika

Jason proposed to me at a park under the gazebo. It was romantic. We were married a year later. Our invitations had a groom and bride under a gazebo, it was so touching.

I think I've told this story here before, so I'll paraphrase it:
I proposed underwater at about 30' using laminated cards and a ring box that looked like sea shell. ![]() -------------------- Convincing the world that the only way to solve the ongoing issues while raising children is PERSISTENCE.

My Dh and I met on-line at a singles site. We met and literally fell in love and a few weeks later. He had just picked me up from work and pulled the car over. He pulled out a book of poems and read a poem to me about love, then he gave me aletter with a poem he had written and the question. When I said Yes. He pulled out a single White rose with the ring tied on a ribbon.

Scott proposed at the stroke of midnight of the millenium.
I had just worked a 12 hour shift, so we stayed home that night. I was sitting on the couch waiting for the new year to come in, he came over and pulled me off the couch and we celebrated. I looked away for a second, looked back and he was down on his knee with a ring. ![]() |
