Did you get engaged on a special day?

Mellow_Yellow, 6 October, 2011 at 17:27 Posted on Planning 0 60

Obviously the day you get engaged is special...but was it special before it was your engagement day?

Ours was a random day on holiday, but my mum and two cousins were engaged on Christmas, I've heard of a few people getting engaged on Valentine's Day or their Birthday, also a guy I know just proposed to his (now) fiancee on their daughter's first birthday.

So, there you have it - was your engagement day a special day to begin with, or just a plain old ordinary Tuesday or whatever?

    Well to everyone else it was a boring saturday night, but to us it was our second anniversary of being together so special to us.

    I have one cousin who was proposed to on christmas morning and another who was just proposed to on a skiing holiday.

    Ours was just an ordinary day. The boy took me away to Italy for the week and, on the Tuesday having arrived on the Monday, proposed. It is actually the same date as one of my best friend's (and bridesmaid) birthday, but that's not really significant for us as a couple, so plain old ordinary Tuesday it was!

    It was my birthday as well as Easter Monday, not that the latter holds any significance to us as we're not religious!

    Ours was just a Sunday but it was in a specal place, he took me to the celtic manor and we walked to the 17th hole on the 2010 golf course right where we were when Europe won the Ryder Cup which had been a thrilling moment that we shared together, and so he proposed there!!! Bless.

    I didn't get a proposal! We were shopping at our local shopping centre and found ourselves looking in jewellers windows. Next thing i know we're standing outside having a smoke preparing to go and buy a ring for me!!

    I can't remember what day it was either!

    Ours was 2 days before our 1st anniversary, and was also the day of the Royal Wedding, which OH claimed to have no interest in so don't know if that was a factor.

    He had ordered the ring a few days before, guessed the size then got hold of a ring that actually fit me and had to get some last minute stretching done!

    Was just he and I sat in the garden on a lovely sunny afternoon, no one knee but was lovely

    12th Feb here! OH took me to Venice for a long weekend over Valentine's but he couldn't wait until the 14th as he was petrified so he did it on our first night, on bended knee on the Rialto bridge ? It ended up being even better that way though as we then had the whole rest of the weekend to celebrate!!

    I did! ?

    I got engaged on 5th November. I've always loved Bonfire night and ever since we got together we have always gone to the big fireworks display in Glasgow where he wins me some kind of silly cuddly toy and we eat hot dogs. Lol.

    So last year I got a cuddly toy, a hot dog and an engagement ring! ?

    Us too. Though he had bought the ring in Oct and asked my mum's permission in Nov... and I had no clue!

    We had originally said we would look for engagement rings together when we went away at New Year and OH always said he would buy it but then surprise me with it - which he did by doing it far earlier than I would ever have thought!

    We weren't living together at the time, so mostly saw each other weekends when I wasn't working. We got engaged on the nearest weekend to Dydd Santes Dwynwen (the Welsh St Valentine's Day, in January) at St Dwynwen's Cross. He'd asked my Dad on Christmas Day, which I knew nothing about.

    Mine was the day before my 24th birthday when we were on a holiday with a group of friends to celebrate both of our birthdays, so I suppose that would be classed as quite special.

    Not a particularly significant date, just a random Wednesday on holiday together.

    Ours was a very very special date for us, but any normal Friday.

    It was during Hs first weekend on his 2 week R&R from Afghan, and his homecoming had at that point been the best day of my life.
