If YOU had planned your own wedding proposal...

HOW would it have happened??
I have never been officially proposed too but I would love to go into the city..spend an evening out to dinner..then go see a play (im dying to see beauty and the beast) and then take a walk outside cause the nite is crisp--and then it happens on bended knee in a park somewhere...

thats one scenario! I have about a million LOL

all i do KNOW is I would never want it in front of other pple--i get tooo shy and nervous, and i think its unspecial with a crowd lol

Actually this is almost mine to a t I went into the city 12/23 we went to rothmans steakhouse, after dinner we went onto fifth avenue I was looking in the Harry Winston window he asked if I wanted to go on a horse and buggy ride before going to the tree (to meet friends) . I said ok we went on the ride and when we got half way through he proposed I screamed of course he said omg don't scare the horse...... Chat Icon we got off and i said lets go meet up with everyone and he said oh no honey no one is there it was a coverup to get you here .he had a room at the plaza hotel reserved and we stayed the night .. we did go to the tree but by ourselves and just walked around the whole night and the off to the hotel PERFECT !

Re: If YOU had planned your own wedding proposal...

I really loved mine, but another way I would love equally is having it done at the beach. We lived in Florida and almost everyday afterschool/work we would get in the jeep, get sandwiches and go to the beach to watch the sunset. They were such great memories, and due to my complexion, the only time I could enjoy the beach is when the sun goes down.

But I think if he would have pulled a ring out there, it would have been wonderful, simple...but so us.

It's fun and sad all at the same time Chat Icon Should have been a warning sign right there and then that my romantic boyfriend would not be a romantic husband. Chat Icon

Re: If YOU had planned your own wedding proposal...

Actually I probably wouldn't change a thing.

DH brought me down to the beach on a snowy day (actually the day started as a rainy day then we had a snow storm after). So we went down to the beach - which during the winter was not unusual. And we were standing on the beach with the BIGGEST snowflakes coming down and he got down on one knee and proposed.

DH never knew that I had always dreamed of being proposed to in the snow

That is exactly how I wanted mine to be and that was the original plan DH had but *I* ruined it. He had gotten us tickets to Les Mis and like an idiot, I invited 2 other couples along not thinking anything was going to happen that night. Chat Icon DH got mad that I invited others, we had a little spat about it and I figured out why he had gotten so mad -- he was planning on proposing in the middle of Times Square that night. Chat Icon

His proposal was romantic nonetheless but that was my dream proposal...sigh...and I have no one to blame but myself! Chat Icon

same here

BUT I never had this dream of being propposed in mind, so when it happened I was not disappointed at all. It was just in our apartment, very low key, and he said some really genuinely sweet, meaningful things SO that made up for any romance that was lacking Chat Icon

But neither of us are incredibly romantic and or mushy SO in the end, the proposal was simple and perfect for "us"

ONLY thing I always begged of him is to NEVER EVER propose to me at a baseball game.. (1) because we hate each other's teams/stadiums and (2) i'm the type that hates those type of proposals!! (and usually root for the girl to SAY NO when they announce them at games Chat IconChat Icon .. I know, so bad)

Re: If YOU had planned your own wedding proposal...

well when DH & I were going to marry we were 19 and he proposed...I was so mad at him that I said no! I won't marry you till you grow up. I made him return the ring. He grew up & we got married a few years later. Chat Icon

ETA: I wouldn't change it.

Re: If YOU had planned your own wedding proposal...

I love how DH proposed. We were camping and proposed by the fire. The only thing I wish was different was that I pretty much knew it was coming. I wish he had figured out some way to make it a complete surprise, but after 8 years together I guess that would have been tough! Chat Icon
