Across a pub table, whilst he gripped my hand and looked into my eyes...........
I don't think I have a dream proposal... I have a nightmare one though - anything in public. None of that in front of a crowd at a gig etc or even in a restaurant

Who me?.........never I was a virgin 
Not q answering the question, BUT, it was a bit weird to hear, this week, that my ex proposed to his gf, (who is called the same name as me,) whilst on his first time back to the, 'place in the sun' where my sis' lives, (which he and I discovered together when it was a tiny, tiny, idyllic romantic village 30 years ago,) and they were celebrating/ wining/ dining/socialising with her/my friends! Don't get me wrong, I'm REALLY happy for him/them...just feels rather strange!
we only went for a days shopping in Norwich, we'd only been seeing each other six months, we started playing theoretical "which ring is the bestest" as we passed the many many jewellers shops in Norwich.. then in one I said "ooh, that one. If i ever got married I'd want that ring". So for a laugh, we went in to try it on, cos as I said "its not like its gonna fit"..
it did.
So... he stood there, the shop keeper stood there, I stood there, with ring on finger, & he said "shall we?" & I said "ooh err... this is a bit mad.. but yeah"
Moral of the story... beware the jewelers shops in Norwich!

i kinda said that in front of my nearly bro in law, less the tranny bit. But it worked and 120 have been deleted from the invites list.
After five weeks, a bag of chips and a game of Bingo.

Ooooh giiirl - you're good!
He gave me a home made Xmas cracker on Xmas morning and the ring was inside (a loo roll inner tube as it happens )
Best proposal EVER was by my mate Dave (used to post on GBBF as DJDave aeons ago if anyone remembers) who is far too smart to be allowed and proposed via a Scrabble game. He spelled out "Will you marry me" - she did. I was at their wedding a month ago. 
Carriad mine was xmas morning too
The kids had opened all their presents and the OH and I started opening ours, then he gave my kids a present and told them to give it to me.....I opened it and there was my ring I even cried like a silly girl but he also shed a tear like a silly boy and the kids just stood there saying 'that's not a toy'.

I remember Leccy talking about him (think he was before my time) - very cool proposal

hahahaha! Brilliant
No one has ever proposed to me.. It's not something I fantasise about either, if mr summer does I'll say yes but if he doesn't then he still got me for life anyway
My husband was my next door neighbour. My man at the time was being an arse. He went on a boys holiday and came back and decided he wasn't ready to be a dad. Our girls were 5 years old. He told me he wanted me but not the girls. NUFF SAID....BOOTED HIM OUT THE DOOR. My neighbour was a godsend. He let me cry, shout, scream, looked after the girls while I went out partying to get it out of my system and he still held my hair when I came home and puked
He proposed to me after a night out (with him)and a big argument(with him). At the time I had a hatred of men in general and he told me to "STFU......look at me....I don't have anything else to say..nothing smart or funny but I swear I'll NEVER let anyone hurt you again, the only thing I can give you is me (coz he didn't buy a ring). Even if you say no I'll still love you" I didn't say no

Awww, no, I hope not...she fell in love with the place, and it is lovely....I did leave him, (completely my fault, hands up, I fell in 'like' with him during my lat year at Uni when I was err, err needing to get out of a bit of a mess, and he fell in love with me, then I couldn't leave because he was 'nice' and funny and generous and kind)....but I never 'fancied' him..They seem happy, I truly hope so, 'cos he's never really found anyone else since I left in 1992...still feels a bit strange 'though!

Blizz...I hope she's better for him, than me.....I will always 'love' him like a 'brother/ friend'. and we are on v amicable terms... I was in the wrong, I hurt him.....He's had a few gfs since, but nothing 'serious'...I left in 1992..about time he 'got over me'......OMG that sounds terrible, but it's true, he was still in love with me, hopefully he isn't any more
Well!!!!! my ol'git was a tax officer & at that point in time one didn't get married mans allowance unless one was indeed married & seeing as I was 8mths preggers...it was the only way forward 
DO I regret it.....not on your life...I have 5 wonderful children .......him (not so much)
