Your actual answer when he popped the question

We were in a beautiful hotel suite in Chester, all ready to go out, I had a new dress on (cream with polka dots) and new make up and felt like a princess. We were sat on a beautiful high sided gold and black sofa, I took a sip of pink champagne and he took my hand and said "Will you marry me?". I didn't say a word for about 10 seconds, then said "Yes. Millions and Billions of Yes's"... then burst into tears of joy. When I think back it seems like a film lol... it was amazing.

Loving reading all of your stories! xx

We were opening our christmas persents on christmas eve (after midnight so technically christmas day) and last year he had kept one as a surprise for me to open last so this year I thought I'd do the same to him, he then trumped that by getting out the engagement ring (whilst I was watching Alan Carr chatty man, i'll never forgot that program now!) he sat next to me on the sofa and said 'i was wondering (yes those words!) if you would marry me?', my response? i couldn't look at him, i asked if it was a joke, was he being serious and then kind of mumbled a yes. he put the ring on my finger, i had a little cry (still hadn't looked at him by this point and then i ran off to the kitchen! It was a bl**dy big shock!

Obviously i was very pleased and once i had calmed down was very happy, he then told me he'd been planning it since we'd got back from our summer holiday and had planned to do it when we were in Vegas in the November but the ring wasn't ready. It had been hiding in various places in our house for the last 6 weeks until he eventually took it to his parents for fear i would stumble across it! Considering it was such a shock to me I remember thinking on Christmas Eve ' hmmmm, wouldn't it be nice if he proposed tonight, better do my nails just in case'. Glad I did now as they looked lovely in the photo of my hand i sent to my friends x

This sounds really bad, but because it was such a suprise i cant actually remember exactly what he said! He propose on a gorgeous white beach in cuba as the sun was setting. He'd not really talked of getting married before and i think he said somthing like "would you marry me?" in a casual manner. There's me snapping happily away with my camera taking shots of the sunset and when i spun to take a snap of him, I replied "yeah course, you know i will" It wasn't till I looked properly- he was sat on a sun bed with a ring box in his hand and said something like "well thats good as i've got this for you!" ?

H2B and I were sitting in a bedouin tent in Egypt drinking wine when he told me to close my eyes. Me being suspicious said no! He tried again and so I did, and really shut them, screwed up face and everything (must have looked sooo pretty!). He asked me to open my eyes again and I said no! I had an idea by then what he was doing... I eventually opened them, saw him down on one knee with the biggest sparliest princess cut diamond I had ever seen! He said that he loved me more than anything in the world and would I marry him. I immediately went to scream but nothing came out, then burst in tears, did the whole camp girly face waving thing and nodded... after about 10 minutes of this he said is that a yes then, to which I replied yes of course it is you daft bugger, these are happy tears!

I then ran off to find some poor random stranger to come and take our photo!!!

I love love this thread and have a wee tear in my eye. Your stories are fab. Mine goes like this:

G and I had arranged to go for dinner after work on a Friday, we do this every few weeks so it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. He told me to take my going out clothes to work as he'd had to book an earlier table than usual. Then at 4pm at work I get a call to say that he had managed to shift the table to later so he'd come and get me as normal and we'd go home. No big deal, I still had no idea. But then instead of going home we started going off track and ended up at a very nice hotel and restaurant. He'd sneakily taken a half day off work and had already checked in and arranged the room with a single rose and a chilled bottle of champagne.

He proposed as we stepped through the door (I found out afterwards that he couldn't stand to wait any longer) getting down onto one knee so that when I turned around to ask him why we were at Jesmond Dene he was already on the floor and getting out the ring. I couldn't even speak, I just nodded like a demon and burst into tears. I insisted on an immediate cuddle and ended up putting the ring on myself about 10mins later when I remembered that I had one! Then we got changed and went for the promised dinner.

To top it off he had thoughtfully remembered to pack none-work clothes for the next day and my hair straighteners and fave trainers. x

I think I said something along the lines of "Are you joking?!" and then swiftly followed that with "Get up, you doofus". Somewhere in there I must have said yes ?

Mine was in Egypt, He had told me he had 2 failed attemps beforehand:

1st attempt we went stargazing in the desert and there was so many people around and we were stuck by some smelly toliets he really didnt want to do it there and was to embarresed with everyone around.

2nd attempt we went up the a a little mountain which was lovely it had a little waterfall and you could watch a show which was on below us and have a few drinks, but it was very high and I walked down a few steps and tripped and nearly fell about 100ft as there isnt any railings so i managed to kinda gain my control by grabbing a lampshade and some man grabbing my arm, needless to say I was very shaken and my H2b just looked round and walked off I don't think he relized what had happenend but I thought he had seen it nearly happena and went mad at him and said he was selfish for not trying to help me!! I then said we are going home and stormed off lol, I didnt know he was going to propose.

3rd time lucky, we was in our hotel room and talking about marriage and I said I didnt care if he ever done where it was. and then decided I would go for alittle nap to which he was fumbling around in his wardrobe, then came back in and layed on the bed "I said what are u doing" as he was fidgeting he had hid the ring in his trousers so I wouldn't see it. anyway he then said wake up even though I wasnt actulley asleep yet and then said "will you marry me" Well I sat up and snatched the box from he and was like really is this an engagement ring (stupid question I know wasnt thinking straight) I then went to put it on after crying and saying yes, to then say no wait you have to put it on and gave it back to him to put on my finger. So im still sitting there crying and he goes"why are u crying for" well I didnt stop for the rest of the day haha. I did ask him why he didnt get on 1 knee the next day and he replied beacuse the floor was dirty!!

But after all the effort he went to I thought it was perfect

AWW! love this!

well.. even tho we had been together 5 years.. I was only 19 going on 20.. so i had nooooo ideas whatsoever!!!

It was our "anniversary" so as usual he booked a table for a romantic meal, which happened to be quite far away in the town where we met.. (still had no idea)..

we arrived and had a lovely meal.. walking back to the car he stopped and nearly pulled my arm off dropping to the floor.. (i thought he'd passed out!) lol He then said something aliong the lines of how much he loves me ect.. and pulled out a huuuuge beautiful ring and said will you marry me.. My answer.. " oh my god.. get up ur knees are wet now!!"... (i think it was the shock haha).. I eventually said yes and cried loads..

he later told me it was the exact spot we met but i had forgot (woops!)... He then said i needed to go home and pack but wouldnt tell me why.. so i did and spent the journey ringing everyone i knew..

We eventually arrive at the most amazing hotel and i was lead to the honeymoon suite where i was greeted with more flowers than a florist and champagne on ice..

this was from the most unromantic guy ever.. so to me it was AMAZING!! x

These stories are lifting my mood, they're all lovely ?

Last xmas day was the 1st xmas day just us and the kids (no dragging ourselves round all day to give the relatives their fair dose of our kids!!) so we all got back into our pj's after dinner and were watching dr who (or something like that!) eating cheese and drinking wine, I got up to get another bottle and he said oh before you do that there is one thing........(me still stuffing cheese in my mouth) "will you marry me" he looked so nervous and pulled a ring out of his SOCK!!! (i kept having a go at him for scratching his foot but he'd been checking it was still in there!!)

i said "are you winding me up?" he said no, i said "are you sure this isnt a joke" then my 9yr old daughter said "oh my god mum he is asking you to marry him-now you can stop going on at me about it!!!just say yes"

so of course I said yes of course i will, and me and my daughter were dancing around the room, hugging my oh and my son who was 18months old just sat there getting covered in chocolate not batting an eyelid!!

then my oh went to get the 'wine' but got the champers out instead.....

OMG what a fab thread!!! Cant believe I've only just got in on it!!!!

My H2B told me he had bought me a present which I obviously at once demanded from him, he told me however it wasnt something that he could really put in my hands and I had to guess.
