How did your DH or your DF propose yo you? We spent the day at the beach and we were sitting on some rocks at sunset and he asked

Did you have a hunch he was going to do it? No way! He made me think he wasn't going to because he had already given me my graduation gift of a digital camera. So I thought no way he was going to give me a ring too.

where you blind sided? Totally, I didn't even realize what was happening until he asked...I just thought he was talking about the future for no reason in particular.

Was he romantic? Yes, he was very sweet. He even had the ring box stuffed with cork and tied the ring in with fishing line just in case it dropped in the water by accident. I thought that was so cute and sweet.

What was your emotions after wards? I was deliriously happy.

Who did you call first? When I got home I told my parents, they already knew though because Dh had asked them for their permission.

What was your reaction? So surprised and happy

How did your DH or your DF propose to you? He planned with my mom and sister to surprise me at dinner. He was living 5 hours north of me at the time and had told me he was going to Chicago with his roommate that weekend. My parents, sister, and I were going out for "my parent's anniversary." He was already hiding in the bar of the restaurant when we got there, and walked up with flowers and the ring after we had ordered drinks.

Did you have a hunch he was going to do it? Yes and no. I had no idea it was coming right then, they all had me totally fooled. I did know he would sometime soon. We had been dating long distance for four years, and I was about to move 4 more hours south to vet school the next year. I had told him that I wasn't sure I could keep doing the long distance thing now 9 hours apart for another 4 years, so it was get married and move with me or...

where you blind sided? At the restaurant I was.

Was he romantic?He was so romantic. Got down on one knee and everything.

What were your emotions afterwards?Very happy, we went back to the house and picked a date.

Who did you call first? I didn't call anyone. Of course my parents, sister, and roommates all knew before I did. I didn't even tell my co-workers when I went to work a few days later. He proposed the weekend before September 11, 2001 so by the next time I went to work everyone was still kinda shell shocked from that. My mom called up there to ask what everyone thought of my ring, and I had not shown it to anyone yet. One of the receptionists busted into the exam room I was in and demanded to see it. (I was not a vet yet, at that point I was an OTJT tech/ kennel assistant at the same clinic I went back to after vet school).

What was your reaction? I just sat there, and the finally nodded yes. I think the waitress was crying.

How did your DH or your DF propose yo you? At the top of the Empire State Building on Memorial Day 2006 whilst we were on holiday in New York.

Did you have a hunch he was going to do it? Yeah, I knew he was going to do it as I had picked a ring out 2 months previous. I just didn't know when he was going to do it - although i knew it would be whilst we were away.

where you blind sided? Kind of

Was he romantic? Yeah he got down on one knee

What was your emotions after wards? I was so excited and really happy

Who did you call first? It was about 10pm EDT so back home in the UK it was the middle of the night so I called my best friend in Indiana. Apparently all my family knew he was doing it then anyway!

What was your reaction? I couldnt wait to get home and start planning

[~Andrea~]

How did your DH or your DF propose yo you? In our living room! LOL. It was perfect, just us, in the same spot that we had spent a lot of our time.

Did you have a hunch he was going to do it? A little bit. I kinda foiled his plan a little bit too. I was supposed to work late that night, but decided to leave early. I called DH and he said he had some errands to run after work, so he wouldn't be home for a little while. I thought, ok, we are leaving for Mexico in a couple of days, I knew there were some things he had to do. So, I was talking to my mom on the phone, and she got a call on the other line. She said "Why is the grocery store calling" to which my response was "maybe its Bill asking if he can marry me!!!" She took the call and then called me back saying it was about my brother. This totally made since because my brother had recently worked there and had gotten into some major trouble. I totally put any thought of him proposing out of my mind. I mean, we were leaving for Mexico! So, when I got home, I started making a list of what to pack. When DH got home, he looked at my list and said that I forgot something. He said it is really small, but you definately need it. I honestly thought he was refering to a skimpy bikini. LOL. But, it was the ring.

where you blind sided? Little bit

Was he romantic? Very! He got down on one knee. And what he said was so sweet! And he cried. That was only the second time I had seen him cry.

What was your emotions after wards? Stunned. I asked him if he was serious.

Who did you call first? My parents, although they already knew since the phone call to my parents house was my DH asking if he could come over and ask my dad's permission first.

What was your reaction? Bliss. Here I was, engaged to the man of my dreams, and leaving for Mexico in a couple of days. Amazing.

Awww thats so romantic girls!!! Its a memory that you will never forget!!!

How did your DH or your DF propose yo you? We went camping with a few of our friends. It was just a get away. While the girls and I were in the lake, him and the boys were up to no good. They were making lunch. Dwayne started to grab cans, and layed then out with rocks and what not, and said Will you marry me?
There was the boys with the answer yes on their bellies. I laughed. he made me a heart pancake and drew 2 rings, then he slipped the ring on my finger and said I love you more then words it self!

Did you have a hunch he was going to do it? No!

where you blind sided? oh heck ya!

Was he romantic? yes.

What was your emotions after wards? I cried and balled. I didnt think it was going to happen.

Who did you call first? I actually drove to my moms work. my dad knew cause Dwayne asked him first. My mom and me just cried, cause im the oldest. and it was hard to believe we were getting married!

What was your reaction? I started to cry, and i said No.lol. he shocked me so i wanted to shock him..and that i did.

How did your DH or your DF propose yo you? It was sooo freaking sweet. He was getting ready to leave for Kuwait and I was freaking out, miserable because he was gone and having to deal with everyone giving me ###### about our relationship(we had been dating long distance for a year and only told people a week before). It had been a rainy day so he convinced me to go hiking "one last time" since the sun was starting to come out. We went up our favorite canyon back home and right at the top of the bluffs before you head back into teh canyon you can see out over the entire valley. We stopped there and were sitting and talking, and as it was gettling late I said we should get moving, he jumped down from the rock we were on and I looked down and he was down on one knee, and asked me to make him the happiest man in the world and marry him. I screamed yes and started crying my eyes out and jumped down on top of him, lol. We were just sitting there talking and he was like "oops, that was not how I had envisioned doing that" and I hit him for it because it was sooo perfect, and then he said "I guess you probably want a ring...." to which I replied, "it would be nice, but not necessary right now", and then he pulled a huge white leather ring box out of his pocket and said "well, how about this one?".... apparently he had been designing my ring for weeks and it had been behind schedule and he was freaking out that it wouldn't be ready before he left.

Did you have a hunch he was going to do it? Not really. We'd talked before about getting married, but had talked more about when he got home from Kuwait or at leas ton midtour

where you blind sided? YES! I ahd no clue, lol.

Was he romantic? yes!

What was your emotions after wards? overwhelming love and joy for him

Who did you call first? my best friend. I didn't tell my parents until about 4 hours later, we told his family two days later

What was your reaction? Sheer joy!

[Celry]

Did you have a hunch he was going to do it? I knew what day it was coming. I designed my ring and knew when it was ready.

where you blind sided? Not at all

Was he romantic? yes

What was your emotions after wards? I was excited, but as I've said before, I'm not a crier or a girly girl.

Who did you call first? I don't remember. Probably my sister or mom, but they both knew I was getting engaged.

What was your reaction? I was excited because we'd been dating for 2 years and had known for most of that time that we'd get married

[tracyanne]

How did your DH or your DF propose to you? We had plans to go to dinner at a place we love. He started asking me questions like if I wanted to get married, where, when, etc... Then he pulled the ring out of his pocket and asked me! It was a ring I had picked out a few months before. My brother and SIL came to meet us later and I called a bunch of people!

Did you have a hunch he was going to do it? I knew he was going to eventually, but I didn't know that night at all.

Were you blind sided? Not really, see above.

Was he romantic? Getting engaged is romantic in itself, but he wasn't super romantic!

What was your emotions afterwards? I was giddy and just showing off my ring to anyone who would look. People at the restaurant were sending over drinks.

Who did you call first? My parents

What was your reaction? Happiness!!!
