I know we waiting-bees have a lot of time to think about THE moment, and I keep wondering how should I react and try to come up with something nice to say back to him after he asks me to marry him but can not come up with anything at all lol
Does anyone else think about this? Do you have a plan or little "acceptance speech"? lol
Gosh, I can't even imagine what I might say. Besides "yes" of course. I've thought about how I'll react, and for some reason I keep seeing myself running around the room screaming, holding the ring. Hopefully I'll come up with something better than that when the time comes...!
haha. besides "i love you i love you i love you"? nahh - i'll probably be too busy crying/smiling/hugging/looking at my ring :P
i know i contemplated that day for quite some time and when he did i said, "of course i will. you have no idea how much i've dreamed of this day and it was so perfect. you're perfect and you're mine forever now." he just smiled at me and was like "i love you so much." it was simply perfect!!!!!
trust me ladies that when the day comes, you'll know exactly what to say! 
Actually, I have a feeling I'll say something to the effect of "I always knew you were the one, from the moment I saw you". Because I really did...
I had thought of several sweet, romantic things that I might say when he proposed.
However, when he actually did, the only thing I could say was "are you serious?!?" Ahh, romance!
Trust me, in that amazing moment, you probably won't remember anything you planned out.
@FrustratedBird, he said that to me when he was proposing!! How sweet!
I was so surprised when he asked I think that even if I had something planned to say it would have gone out the window. I was SO surprised I didn't even remember if I said yes, or if he got down on one knee. Luckily he had a hidden video camera set up to help my memory come back. I said "Oh my god, of course I will!" We hugged and kissed and I cried and cried and looked at my ring again and again and then said, "did you ask my dad?" Oh, and he did get down on one knee-and he did ask my dad. I think your emotions really take over. Good luck finding something to say, and even more luck trying to get it out! haha. Maybe I'm just over emotional (most likely I am =) ).
i thought a lot about how he would propose and what he'd say and how i'd react. the actual moment was nothing like what i thought. it was amazing, he had the perfect proposal.... but i had one of those you're not in your own body anymore moments so my reaction just wasn't what i thought. i couldn't speak, so i chose to kiss him instead. a lot. it kept me from having to talk.
@artbee. Seriously! I thought of a million ways he would ask. The actual moment was nothing like I had thought---It was AWESOME, and so incredibly perfect. You totally feel like your having an out of body experience!
A word of advice would be to just not think about what you'll say - it might take away from the moment..
Even if you have something planned it will probably be lost in the moment anyway. I remember laughing hysterically when my FI proposed...and saying "stop playing" over and over...LOL.
Well besides, it's about time! LOL Just joking.
I think about this all the time and I can't see myself being emotional and crying but then when I watch one on TV I get all emotional and start crying.
Who knows what will come out of my mouth, only time will tell....
YEP!
I plan on saying "can I have some time to think about it?". It will be a total joke, because I know it's coming, we've already made wedding plans, etc...
Of course, I might get tooo overwhelmed to actually pull it off!
I said "Yes" gave him a big kiss and the asked him for his phone. He proposed to me at night and it was dark so I needed the light ot see my ring!
I never really thought about it. We dated for 5 years before he proposed. But I was still shocked and surprised. I had no time to think. I just kept saying Oh My God; Are you serious? lol I was totally shocked. I had it in my mind that it would still be a while.... Boy did he surprise me. I'm glad though that I didn't bug him about it. Because it would have felt like I forced him to ask; & I'm soo glad it didn't feel that way! Trust me ladies; it's better to just stop thinking about it & let it happen when it happens!!
Let me tell you this...I thought I knew what I was gonna say but I was so shocked all I could ask him is "if this was for real?" and if the ring was real. haha. Oh and I managed to say yes. I think that my stunned expression and shock was enough for him. And we said I love you afterwards and hugged for a long time...but I think a speech might take away from the moment honestly. An unplanned reaction is the best I think!
Ladies - don't overthink!! When it happens it is such an overwhelming, amazing emotional, wonderful moment in your life. My husband had the cutest proposal planned so I knew once he got going what was coming - but 20 minutes later when he actually proposed, emotion still totally got the best of me and I was crying and can't remember a word I said!
I've never thought of what I'd say past yes....I HOPE I can get yes out. I'ma cryer, I cry when I'm happy and I can just see myself nodding and crying....which he'll tell everyone after the fact.
I already know I'll be crying walking down the aisle too, which sucks.LOL
I had always planned to say "nothing would make me happier." But then I blew it and got all weepy halfway through him asking so I could barely sputter "yes."
I thought I would have something to say when he finally proposed, but as it turned out, I was completely at a loss. I was so happy that I hugged him, and sobbed silently (man I must have looked so silly). But it was amazing, and I wouldn't change it for the world!
i have a feeling i'm gonna ruin it by saying something stupid. haha. i'm not worried about it though and not even thinking about it, honestly. whatever ends up popping out of my mouth is what was supposed to happen and will totally be us.
I was totally shocked, crying and the first words out of my mouth were' "are you sure?" He started cracking up! My mouth flub as random as it was actually made the moment more priceless!
Ha I can only hope to be so prepared.. I'll probably just start gushing tears and say something like lolaj, "it's about time!"
Fi and I always joke about how he takes my first answer to any question...so when I saw him start to get down on one knee, my first reaction was "omg, no no no...wait! don't take my first answer!" Luckily he didn't take it that time. ;-)
Well, he didn't "pop the question"; we had a heartfelt discussion about "where is our relationship headed"; we decided to get married one year later and considered ourselves engaged from that point.
I believe my first words when the discussion ended was: "well, let's go celebrate!" while pointing at the bedroom, ha!
I 100% agree with artbee. Even if I had thought of what I would say, there is no way I would have remembered! It was definitely like an out of body experience, like I was watching it from far away.
I was definately one who was in total disbleif. I thought he was joking around and I actaully tried to make him stand back up and the first thing that came out of my mouth was something along the lines of " your being mean, stop teasing me." it is a cute idea to plan something but in the moment i doubt you will be able to say it.
To be honest, I just wanted to make sure I actually said yes, and I wanted him to just ask me to marry him and hurry up with his speech. lol
even though we had dated for over five years, I was still so surprised, and it was such an intense moment. Even if I had thought of something to say, I never would have remembered it... All I was able to spit out through tears was "I thought you were never going to ask!!!".... And it was perfect.... :)
Something along the lines of "yes", "I love you", or maybe a "thank you!!" hahaha
I have a feeling there will just be a lot of awkward high pitched squealing and jumping lol. I don't have anything planned though, because like the women said before me, I probably won't be able to recall what I wanted to say anyway. As long as I get a "Yes" in there somewhere we'll call it good hehe.
haha I don't have anything planned, but I'm pretty sure I'll end up saying something along the lines of "really!?", "YES!", "finally!", and "I love you." I just hope I'll even be able to manage a "yes"because I am definitely a crier!
I really hope I cry! I'm not much of a crier when it comes to this kind of thing - I think I overthink it too much.
I get so excited though, just thinking about it!
What a great thread! I had been thinking about what I wanted to say when my FI proposed and all I managed to do was to scream "YES!" and fling myself into his arms!
I think the best is to completely be yourself, listen to what he's saying and then respond...in the moment, you'll know what to say. :)
Never thought about it, bu tnow you have me thinking. Along time ago I thought I'd just be exicted and runa dn holla, but now I'm not sure. We went to the jewelry store a few months ago and I froze. I couldn't think straight, I couldn't speak, I was out of it. So, who knows I may just cry and go mute.
I usually try to avoid saying things like "Oh my God!" Even still, my immediate answer was "Oh my God! Yes!" FI was quiet for quite a long time before he asked me, and I started to suspect what he was up to. He tried to casually slip his hand in his pocket to get the ring box. I said "What are you doing?" He responded, "Keeping my hand warm." lol!! Then I forgot about the ring and he offered it to be after a couple minutes of us hugging after the proposal -- "Do you want this?" "Okay!"
I think I managed a stammering: "are you serious???"
Even if I had anything planned I would have totally forgotten it in that moment.
@tksjewelry:LMAO!
@Mrs.tobe: Ya, I know he was totally lying. He had been trying to get up the liquid courage for hours. I did give him an out the next morning before I called my mother. Told him once that phone call was made then he was stuck for life.
