So I just read all the proposal stories in the July contest, and I must say I loved every single one! Whether it was fancy or simple, it was so special and so completely YOURS!

So I just read all the proposal stories in the July contest, and I must say I loved every single one! Whether it was fancy or simple, it was so special and so completely YOURS!

I don't have one of those stories. Infact I’ve been married twice and have never been proposed to. My 1st marriage, I was 18 and pregnant. My mother made me marry the DB. She invited his mother over for tea, they chose a date. 3 weeks later we were married. (Biggest mistake ever!)

My current husband and I dated in highschool, we just knew we would be together forever. He joined the AirForce right after HS and before he left he bought me an engagement ring. He never said the words though, never got down on a knee, just put it on my finger and we both cried.

While he was gone I missed him so incredibly much and had a really hard time dealing with things. So what did I do...? I cheated on him. Just looking for someone to numb the pain I guess.

    Nope, not a nerve. I just have a low BS tolerance level. Maybe because you're relatively new to the forums you're unaware of the Vows of Conduct but you can read them to the right. Your comment would've been fine had you left off the first 3 sentences.

    HisMrs is one of the sweetest, most genuine ladies on here so when she bares her soul and shares a beautiful story and there's only ONE person who feels it necessary to post a negative comment yes, I find it necessary to speak up.

    Also, prefacing something with "I'm going to be the bad guy" doesn't make your comment any less ignorant.

    I agree- that's one of the best stories I've heard.

    Beats the heck out of some of my friends... one of them was actually pissed at how her husband proposed (even though it was thought-out and he tried very hard to be romantic) so she never told anyone the story of how he did it because she was embarrassed that it wasn't laid out perfectly like she planned it.

    Another couple we know ... the girl just got finished going to the bathroom or something while they were on vacation and when she came out he had the ring on his finger, looked her dead in the eye and goes "So... do you want it?"

    I'd rather have your story than one of those any day...

    So in other words the rules state I cannot give an honest opinion? Cheating is bad any way you look at it. Sorry but true.

    I guess the good stuff I said counts for nothing then. Ha some women are funny.

    HisMrs. Please get a hold of me if what I said bothers you. If it does I will kindly erase it. You started the thread so just let me know.

    Found lost love is definitely a beautiful and romantic story and yours is that.

    I didn't get a formal proposal either. We started talking about it, then started looking for rings and Christmas night after we got home from dinner, he came in the room and handed me the box. I knew I was getting it that night so no surprise. I said thanks hun but ummmm. He said "Oh, will you marry me?" lol. Of course I said yes and we continued planning lol.

    A nice romantic story would have been great but, given a choice, I'll take the nice romantic rest of our relationship with my honey.

    Your story sounds like a Nicholas Sparks book, so beautiful! Who would you like to play you in the movie??

    I agree with the others, your story is better than the proposal but if you want one let him know and maybe on an anniversary he'll surprise you and ask to marry you all over again.

    Go Jac Jac!

    Nadine, Yes you are the bad guy. The OP asked if she was the only one who did not get proposed to.

    Not if you approve of her life and choices.

    Judge not.

    Nadine- have you ever been with someone in the military? Its really hard especially when they have to go away for a long period of time and when little to no contact. I'm not justifying anything but it does make someone go pretty nuts. At the time she didn't know how to handle it and unfortunately she handed it wrong but she owned up to it and her now H forgave her and they moved on. they're happily married and in love!

    @HisMrs - Your story trumps those proposal stories; hands down! That is a love that everyone dreams of. It is straight up - a Nicholas Sparks movie! Smiley winking

    As for the comments from Nadine, ignore those. It is our life experiences where we learn when we are finally at the point in our lives where we realize what's important & people that aren't. Some of the young brides have to live those same life experiences that we have already learned from. I'd love to see in 20 years how great their marriage is if they continue to call out things in such a childish way. Heck even 5 years. Marriage is work, so are friendships & other relationships. I'm pretty sure Jac Jac is right about the Vow of Conduct where it says something along the lines of: "If you don't like what you see or have something nice to say - MOVE ON!" She clearly didn't. Unfortunately this forum continues to fill up with brides that post stupid things just for attention & to *OH MY GOD* get their 5th star.

    -LOVE

    @Candi I agree with you on Nadine, but please don't make sweeping remarks about all young brides.

    I don't think it matters. I love your love story how your husband never stopped loving you and searching for yo u for all those years that alone is soo ROMANTIC.

    I had an amazing proposal. Traditional and sweet a little cliche LOL at a restaurant but the ring wasn't in the food thank goodness he had it in his pocket. He'd planned this elaborate dinner but he always does this LOL. The entire restaurant staff and my dad were in on it. He excused himself to go to the rest room right before the waiter brought dinner as a distraction once they set it down, he returned along with some other restaurant staff. LOL total ambush and then he got down on one knee and proposed. And people at the nearby tables clapped LOL It was cheesy but I LOVE CHEESE Smiley smile

    Then they brought us complimentary dessert and champange. It was a beautiful night. I couldn't stop smiling. still can't

    I think Candi meant young in terms of maturity rather than actual age. ;-)

    I can relate.

    The first time my FH proposed was when my son was born, it was an emergency C-section and I was high as a kite..... totally didn't remember or even know until 6 months later when he asked if I wanted to go pick out a ring or maybe I had changed my mind? I had no idea what the hell he was talking about and he thought all that time that I didn't want to.

    Finally found a ring, he proposed in the car.

    sigh.

    Cheating is wrong! You people are ridiculous. I won't have to learn from that life experience because I don't cheat. Maybe you do but not me. Us young people were so stupid eh? I'll kindly take my step off this site since that seems to be what is proper. It's the internet one day you will learn that not every person always agrees. It's funny because I saw other brides on other sites post some nasty stuff about wedding wire and wedding bee but now I see why. Because you do not allow a difference of opinion. What a joke. Nice weddings ladies and I mean that.
