I don't remember how my OH proposed. I know it was New Year's Eve and I was very very drunk. 
He told me in the morning that I'd agreed to marry him. I'm still not sure I believe him.

It was 10 days after the Millennium (I know, stupid sod should have used that day but he couldn't get the courage)...we had already had kids and lived together for 7 years...
I came stumbling down stairs bleary eyed early one morning, I sat on the sofa in my dressing gown (a sign of things to come, no doubt)...he made me a cuppa, brought the cup of tea in, placed it on the floor near my feet..got down on one knee and proposed.
I thought he was kidding, told him it was a crap joke, he said he wasn't, I burst out crying, knocked the cup over in shock.
Said yes, we hugged and kissed, both teary eyed...then he ran in the kitchen to get cloths to clear up the spilled tea.
Most romantic, posh, extravagant proposal EVER!

Conversation about passions(cunningly disguised about political beliefs) ... then humour "I'll do this is in the style of "...so funny, intelligent and lovely..how could I possibly resist?

Aaah, bless! Mine used to do that but he snores and I have to insist he buggers off to bed before he starts to annoy me.
He's in bed upstairs now, he was supposed to be staying out tonight with work but wanted to come home to be with me and the bump. quote:Originally posted by Supercalifragilistic:

Hahah, I'm in the kitchen, he's on the sofa, Weezer are just about drowning the snoring out (not quite)
Aww guys, your stories are lovely (see Renton, you can cheer us up when you aren't being awkward!
)The tea stained carpet is long gone Syd, that was our last house (I miss it)

..Snoring competition-bet mine 'll win, 'specially after a few glasess of the red stuff???? Think I might be ready for bed now..this bloody menopause stuff doing my head in.....NGBx
Just to add, the "shock" thing...it was totally out of the blue to me, I had never even thought about getting married, I "felt" married anyway and so did he..it had never really occurred to me that he would ask. We both said we felt completely committed anyway...and marriage had NEVER been discussed.
Apparently he'd been thinking about it for ages, I had never thought about it, but as soon as he said I knew it was right.
Don't all barf now

*sniffs* So *sniff* romantic *small weep*
We only went for a days shopping in Norwich!!!
We had only been seeing each other six months. Norwich has loads of jewellers shops... loads. So we started looking in them at the diamond rings... it got to be a game.
Then in one jewellers shop window we saw one, and I said thats the sort I like (simple solitaire). I said that I didn't think it would fit though. So we went in... he asked the jeweller if I could try it on. It did fit.
Then there was an awkward moment in the shop.. the jeweller, him & me. He said "shall we then"... I sort of stuttered "what". He said "you know"... I said "ok then". He bought the ring.
We got outside and sat on a wall in shock.
We were in shock all the way back to the hotel in Ipswich (we were having a cheap weekend break thing). I didn't put the ring on til later that night.
Then we started texting people (my lot thought it was a wind up.. they couldn't beleive I would get married).
Got married 6 months later!
Moral of the story.... careful when shopping in Norwich.

Blimey Ditty, that was good work! You could make a fortune telling people about that 'game' technique!
I should probably add.. that my engagement ring is not the biggest diamond.. about .7 carat... and since we've been married he has offered to replace it.But there is no way I would swap this ring. Its worth way more to me than its 'price' in the shop.
See, who needs proposing to in 'Hot Air' Balloons...xxxxx

With a sawn-off. She still said no. 
via Facebook 
I had removed my relationship status to make someone jealous, a mutual friend commented asking if there was something she didn't know or if we had decided to make it official while we were away (I was staying at hers down south), I laughed told her over FB chat and she went haha shall we?...we did
(It's a fake facebook marriage to my best friend and it didn't work in making the boy jealous for some reason good job he gets on with my wife though 
)
