Proposal

Was Xmas eve he had ordered Chinese as he didn't want me to cook lol he lit candles around the living room then half way through watching the Top Gear India Special (I rememberits the part where they are racing round a hill and Jeremy wins lol) he did it lol. Then as he went to get up his knee jarred bless him and he said thank god I'm only doing this once lol

Awww that's sweet. I thought my man was kneeling down because he's quite tall and the seats were low so I thought he was preparing himself to sit down lol. I see you have a date did you make that straight away? Do you think there's any harm in me looking at dresses etc even though we don't have a date set? X

Congrats, and welcome to Hitched.

No big proposal here, we'd already had a baby, got a house, so marriage was the next thing to tick off the list.

Went sonething like this

H - So, shall we get married then.

Me - Yeah, OK.

H - Ok, i'll sort it.

Few weeks later he phoned to tell me the date of our wedding, and that was that. We got married 2 months later.

Nothing wrong with nothing big. I kinda want a baby before we get married. We're soon going to be buying a house so that's why a date isn't set. I think it will be at least 2 years though I would get married tomorrow lol. X

Congratulations! Sounds like a wonderful proposal!

No harm whatsoever of looking at dresses and buying magazines. Always good to get a head start! Would suggest creating a pinterest board as well - can be great to organise your ideas together in one place!

Thank you it was. I just wasn't sure if it was too soon to be doing that. Though I do enjoy looking at things to prepare for wedding. I see you're getting married soon bet you can't wait? X

Congratulations!

My H2B was meant to propose on valentines day last year but he was ill so a few days later we went out for a meal, then when we got home there were rose petals and candles lit everywhere and he popped the big question!

It took us a year to get round to booking our venue and setting a date, although I did buy a couple of wedding mags and tried on some wedding dresses last year. There isn't any harm in looking x

Aww that's a lovely way to do it. Yeah I think it will be a year or so for us to set a date. X

We set the date a couple of weeks after we got enagaged. We knew what time of year we wanted we made a lucky dip of the 2 months we wanted and the Saturdays and he picked out the 28th of June. We had it set a couple of weeks later originally but his famiyl kicked up such a fuss over it we changed it (keeps them happy and my life stress free lol) No harm looking at dresses on Xmas day I was scouting dresses lol. I bought my dress a couple of weeks ago too even though I have well over a year left. There is no harm looking at anything at the moment in my opinion theres no rush for any of it This is a time to enjoy and not stress to much lol. I have pretty much sorted everything but the venue decorations and the suits for the guys as I believe I would rather be organised 6 months before hand then running around 6 weeks before hand like a blue bummed fly.

xx

Yep! I'm just getting impatient now! I have a pinterest board too - have a search for it if you want - I put lots of ideas on there - even stuff we're not going to do! (tayto)

I don't think there's any harm in it. My mum bought a magazine almost as soon as I told her and the great thing about it is it had information about all the legalities, gave you a suggested timeline of when to do what etc and had a whole wedding venue directory at the back, split in to different areas in the country (Best Scottish Weddings fyi). I also started looking at dresses early on and still making up my mind but it's between 2 by the same designer.

We got engaged in November last year. We were going on holiday the next day and my OH came home from work and said he had a surprise for me. He gave me my coat which he had had in the dry cleaners for about 3 months and which I'd been constantly nagging him to bring back to me. He then ran out the room and said he had another surprise but I had to stand up and close my eyes. When I opened them he was down on one knee with a bunch of white roses (only time he's ever given me flowers!) and just came out with "Will you marry me?" We got the ring designed whilst we were on holiday and didn't tell anyone till we came back.

Just wanted to say congratulations! And no there's no harm in having a peruse, it's natural to get excited!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

I got engaged Monday October 15th . He took me for a romantic 4 day weekend to Rome. I had a sneaky suspicion it was going to happen but.....i was a very grumpy bunny on the 15th, it was our last night there. I had gotten my hopes up and then thought it wasn't going to happen. He took me for a gorgeous meal and drinks, i had been complaining of a head ache all day and that my feet were hurting due to silly flats and uneven streets. When we left it was dark and we was walking through all the cobbled streets it was really lovely, it was the perfect temperature to just warm enough for no jacket to be worn. We got to the Fountain Di Trevi and we stood there looking for a while having a romantic little kiss he stood behine me and cuddled me from behind. The fountain was beautiful all the water lit up it was sooo gorgeous.

I turned round when i felt his hands move from around my waist.....and there he was getting down on one knee, i cried before he got to the floor haha! He then said "you have probably seen this coming.....but would you do me the honour of becoming my wife?" i did a big crying grin and a nod and everyone around that fountain clapped and cheered.

So amazing....i didnt know he was so romantic .

Im sat here with a gooey smile on my face now lol. Bless there cotton socks!! they do know how to do us proud sometimes lol

This made me smile? they defo do us proud don't they! x

Thanks for the congratulations everyone. So what do you look for first when you do start planning I know obv a venue but what next?

All your proposals sounds lovely!

Wow that sounds so lovely. What a wonderful way to propose! Bet you were the happiest girl lol! X

Yeh I was it was amazing i was so happy , its just such an exciting and special time ..... Happy Planning PS its never too early to start looking / shopping

It is very exciting we've been together 4 years Nd it was about time he made the commitment lol! I hinted for ages! X

Haha it was the same for us too, i had hinted a fair bit we've been together 4 years aswell , do you have a date in mind at all yet ?

My other half proposed on Christmas day last year. My mum and dad, plus my sister and her husband were all over for Christmas and we'd all just sat down ready for my OH to dish the pressies out. It didn't start off that romantic - I think he said to me "get up!", but then he got down on one knee, handed me a little box and popped the question. I think it was extra special having my family there too, although it turns out that he'd told my mum his plans about 6 months before hand!

I've quickly fallen in love with wedding planning - I don't go on about it to everyone but most nights I'm on the laptop browsing wedding sites. My sister was trying to talk us into getting married this year instead of next but I'm enjoying the planning side of it so much I don't want to cut it short! It's definitely worth keeping track of what you've looked at and loved though because there is so much out there it''s hard to remember otherwise.

No idea on the date yet it maybe two years from now. I'm happy to be engaged though x

Aww that's nice! Yeah I'm going to love the planning just only looking at the moment though. I've found dresses that I love! So when are you getting married? X

Congratulations!!

My H2B asked on our first holiday togethr.
We went to Key Largo in Florida with his family and about 3 days after arriving we all 'decided' (this was pre-planned i just didnt know) to take a drive down to Key West for the day and to watch the sunset. Anyway long story short after spending the day in Key west we headed down to the water front to sit and watch the sunset, this is where my H2B and his dad said they needed to go back to the car and asked me to go with them, knowing it was a long walk back to the car and if miss the sunset i was a little upset but being polite i went with them.

Instead of walking back to the car a taxi was called once it arrived me and my partner got in but his dad didnt, instead he lent inside the drivers window and handed him a note and with that we where off. It striked me a bit odd when we went past the area the car was parked in, but then even more odd when we pulled into the private section of Key West Internation airport. At this point my partner revealed he had booked a 45 min sunset helicopter ride over Key West. 15 mins to the end of the ride the sun set and we started getting permission to land not long after permission was granted my partner turned and smiled at me, it took me a couple of seconds to realise he was holding a small ring box with a ring in it and he asked me to marry him over the speaker system. As soon as i said yes the piolet pulled out a bottle of champange that he had wrapped up in his coat with an ice pack around it and we toasted our engagment.

When we landed and got back to the water front i then found out that his whole family was in on it and they all knew. I still dont know how he managed to get the poilet to let us have champange while in flight all i can put it down to was the fact it was a private hire and not through a company.

Taken the night after the engagment in Key Largo but just so you can see how pretty the sunsets are

That looks amazing! A real nice way to propose! So how's your planning going? X
