How did you ask your wife to marry you?

How did you ask your wife to marry you?
How did you meet your wife?

This sounds kinda dumb but I thought it would be a good off
topic thread.

On the front porch of her parent's home, I approached the subject to see how she felt. Her response was essentially, "You had better mean it if you do." Later that night I proposed, and 30 years later, she still lets me come home.

I met her when she was 16 at a friend's birthday party (she was his cousin). Took two years to get a date, and then didn't see her again for a year. Then I bought a customized '69 Corvette, and she was the first person inside it when I took it cruising. The rest is history.

Did you go back to the spot later that night and light the ants on fire?

 

I made dinner for my wife and before dinner I got down and asked her to marry me, Simon & Garfunkel was playing on the cd player. 6 years, and two boys later were still going strong.

 

We were @ Red Rocks Amphitheater (west of Denver) for a concert with Lorrie Morgan, Merle Haggard & Clint Black. My wife was standing in front of me, she turned around to me & I had gotten on one knee with ring in hand and popped the question. 2 boys & 19 years later she's still putting up with me.

 

It was so long ago, my recollection has faded. On the sofa at her dad's place I reckon.

 

Met at roller skating, asker her to get married in a mall parking lot.

 

mine was christmas morning . i bout the ring a few weeks before hand and i bought a bear holding a velvet sac. i put the ring in there and waited for her to open the gift up . she thought it was a joke and put it down on the ground i had to tell here the sac opened up . well needless to saw when she did figure it out and realized what was going on she and her parents were al teary eyed . and thats how i did it

 

It's a kind of family tradition to make Christmas stockings for spouses and kids....so I made her one and then put the ring way down in the toe of it wrapped up in a vending machine jewelry ball. Piled a ton of other crap on top of it...and then had to tell her there was more in there. She finally got down to it tho!!

 

I'm not sure how I got to where I am, but somehow I wonder how the wife let it get this far.

I always make sure to fall asleep after her though...

 

I took her to Huntington Beach pier(forgot why i wanted to take her back there). was gonna get on on knee but pier wet. So nervous as a school kid, I reach in, pulled out box, proposed,she said yes then we went to our favorite Steak and lobster restaurant Capt jacks in sunset beach, soon to be Huntington beach. 22 yrs and 1 21 yr old girl, and still love/desire her as in the beginning.

 

We were down visiting family and one morning while we were getting ready, a promise ring I had given her a little over a year prior, went "missing". I put it in my pocket and she was frantically looking for it, actually getting mad lol. Well before she blew a gasket, I said I can't find it, but I did find this! I went ol fashioned and got down on one knee, said a few sweet things that I can't remember to this day what I said, and she said yes!.. it was more like a teary eyed shaky voiced yee.. yeeeess! Well my sister had the idea to take one of the Taco Bell hot sauce packets that said: Will you marry me? on it, and squeeze the packet in the ring, then slide it over to her and propose. I thought it was cool, and kinda wish I would have done it, but I don't regret at all how I really did it.

For anyone who hasn't proposed yet, the hot sauce packet is a good idea, that is, if she'd like it of course. If you don't think she would, I wouldn't suggest it lol

 

While hiking in a petrified wood forest, in Baja California, where else! The Pacific Ocean was in the distance and it was a beautiful day. I got down on one knee and wouldn't take no for an answer! Photos (of the area that day): http://vivabaja.com/206/

 

you try to complicate everything don't you


it was the night before new years eve and i told her we were going to go and get some beer. so she hoped in the truck (98 taco that met it's match with the crusher in the Great Buy Back) Pulled into the plaza where my buddy has his liquor store and parked in front of the jewlery store which was a couple hundred yards away. She asked why we were parking so far away and I asked her to marry me and we went in and picked up the ring. 6 years and 2 kids later she still hasn't killed me
