How did it happen?

Ok, so my husband and I were talking about our engagement, and he admitted that he had a much more elaborate plan before his smaller proposal! Though if I'm being honest, I much prefer his more private version than getting engaged in front of Big Tex - even though it was a super romantic thought!!...
Ok, so my husband and I were talking about our engagement, and he admitted that he had a much more elaborate plan before his smaller proposal! Though if I'm being honest, I much prefer his more private version than getting engaged in front of Big Tex - even though it was a super romantic thought!! So how did you guys get engaged? Was the ring a total surprise? Bonus points for cute pictures, but all I have is the selfie we took. Also ring photos please- I love looking at everyone's ring.



So my husband and I went on our first official date to a steakhouse, and we still go back there somewhat regularly when not under quarantine because we like it. It was August and super hot, but he still ended up grabbing his hoodie before we headed for the restaurant because the ring box didn't fit in his jean pocket. Not only that, but he was as super nervous as he was when he told me he had feelings for me. We ate dinner, with him doing his nervous talk a mile a minute, then after we walked outside and he asked me. It was so sweet and genuine and just us. We both cried, the ring is beautiful. It wasn't a surprise - we picked the ring together- but how he proposed was.
So how about you guys?

    We were going to his families Halloween party that his sister and I had planned but that day was had been so so sick and told him I didn’t feel comfortable going, well he dragged me there costume and all, and he wanted a specific picture ( idk if you follow Pokémon, I don’t so I just followed his instructions 😂) he wanted to throw the pokeball at my back? So he made me turn around, and then told me to turn around again and with his family there recording asked me to marry him. The ring was inside the pokeball which had a white flower and a pikachu that said “I choose you” on it.

    My proposal was so simple lol we was at his grandmom house ( who currenlty) passed away. We all was taking he told me and his grandmom hell be back we said ok. He took a long time...he came back and got on his knees and said " will you married me" his grandmom was so emotional more emotional then i was lol...my mom or my family wasnt there however i called Every one afterwards. I was soo happy...thinking back now ..i said he took long to actual go grab the ring from the shop and then proposed lol...he proposed in front if his grandmom bc she was the one to raise him and he said it meant more that she was there to witness it...this was 5 years ago lol...How did it happen? 4

    FH proposed to me on my very first (civilian) cruise - Im a Navy vet so military cruises don't count lol. It was captains night so we were all dressed up and went to dinner. After dinner we went up to the top deck to take photos. His parents went first and im standing there freezing lol.


    Finally our turn and he sees me shaking and asked me if I was really that cold. I said yes and he said maybe this will warm you up and that's when he got down on one knee. I really did warm up after that lol.
