When my now fiance proposed it was a TOTAL surprise! We had decided to move in together that spring, after dating for about 11 months, because that is what I thought the next step should be.
Well Dec 5, 2008 he totally surprised me and pulled out a ring and popped the question! Well let me just say my reaction was not like you see on TV or read about haha.
Remember I was in total shock. Thoughts and emotions just invaded me. I did say yes (eventualy haha) but it was not one of those "Hollywood moments." I feel kind of bad now. I don't even have a romantic story to tell our children haha.
So how did it go for you?
I had the same reaction. I held my breath and didn't say anything. Poor FI had to say, "ummm, Virginia? Are you gonna be okay?"
I started to cry and just looked at him. He had to ask me if that meant yes. It was perfect though - wouldn't have had it any other way.
I was barely able to utter the words "YES" because I was in tears haha. Luckily FI had set up a camera to record everything so I can see it over and over 
I do have a friend who's FI proposed and she said nothing for a really long time. So he got up, got down on one knee again and proceeded to propose again--this time she said yes.
I started crying and mumbled out "Oui, Oui, Oui" He asked me to marry him in french (his mother tounge, my second) Then a vagely remember saying should I take off the current ring that I was wearing so he could put the ring on... It is all one big happy blur...
Haha, I had the same reaction as some other posters. I was in COMPLETE shock. We have a video of it that my Mom took on her phone (she knew it was coming), and I cringe every time I see it. The first thing I said was "Holy $---!" (and I am SO not a swearer!). After that I was too surprised to know what to do. I just put my hands over my mouth and nodded. It wasn't until later that night, when it really sunk it when his Dad called me and said "welcome to the family" that I burst into tears and realized what had happened!
UGH. I wish I had the scream, jump up and down, cute reaction immediately. I fail. lol.
I'm not engaged yet, BUT..I know that when it happens I will proabably cry because I've been waiting sooooooooo long!
It's a little foggy because I was so excited in the moment and also a little confused, but I believe it involved a little jumping up and down and shrieking/giggling like a 5 year old with YES repeated a million times - here's the story (sorry its long)......
I had this really strange feeling that a proposal was coming, we had talked about it tons and just certain comments he had said made me feel like it was really close. He wanted to incorporate Christmas because I am crazy for Christmas but I know he's not near as into it as I am. Usually I am begging that we set up the Christmas tree (a tradition to do it together since he set it up with me the first time I had a tree because we started dating just before Christmas) and for once he was offering to do it early (like November 22 - early) and so I knew something was up.
Anyway, he had drilled out the top of a glass ornament and hung a ring inside it for me to put on the tree. When I realized what was going on, I wasn't sure if I needed to break the ornament or what and so I was flustered and excited to then find him down on one knee. Luckily i didn't break the ornament so now we have a nice momento of the proposal to hang on our tree every year!!!!
i was surprised too, and didn't really know what to say so i just started making out with him. it worked.
we were camping, and the rest of the day i literally just couldn't move. my family and some friends were with us and they kept doing different things, but we just sat at the campsite because i was frozen.
I yelled, "shut UP!" Yeahhh he's not gonna let me live that one down for a while :)
Haha, I exclaimed "you're asking me NOW?" We were standing in line and I was hot and sweaty and he was annoying me a bit. Haha, I felt so bad!!!
LOL! I laughed for about 20 minutes and then asked if he was kidding. After another half hour of laughing, I finally said Yes!
I was stunned and all i could say was "Are you serious?" he had to ask, "sooo is that a yes???" lol
i immediately continued to cry (like ugly / gross cry... i had already been crying because he gave me a gift right before ) ...then i pulled him up from his knee and sobbed all over his shoulder saying something muffled like "all i've ever wanted was to be your wife. yes" sob, sob, ugly cry... we took pics like 3 seconds after that but i refuse to show them because i look DISGUSTING.
Well when he started to lead in to it, I said 'What are you doing?!' and then he got down on one knee and said 'I'm asking you to marry me...will you marry me?' and I said 'Of course!' and started getting really shaky/teary. It was amazing. :)
I was totally surprised! I just stared at him at first and didn't say anything. He was just waiting there on the ground anf then he said, "Uh.. will you be my wife?". Finally I snapped out of it and said yes and jumped up and down for about half an hour. I always thought I would cry, but I was just super giddy and happy :)
I got really shy! We were sitting on the grass together, and I buried my head in his shoulder and then looked up at him and nodded. He didn't even get a proper "yes" :P (but then he didn't have to get down on one knee either 
). It was a very sweet moment :)
He proposed in a restaurant, and I had this super-brief thought of "What if I said no" (not that I would have meant it, but man ... in a public place ...). After which I immediately said "Yes!" and almost knocked his butt over dragging him to his feet and giving him a hug.
I became teary eyed as he gave his speech. He said that he could tell that I was getting anxious so he cut his speech short. lol
I really thought he was kidding, he just got out of the shower and was in a towel, how romantic....
I tackled him. He had bruises for a couple days. :)
(Oh, and I'm nearly certain he doesn't even remember this and didn't notice, but the very first thing I did was to get down on my knees with him at his level where he was on his knee. I'd been wanting to do that for a long, long time when he proposed, to symbolize that we were submitting to each other, not just one way, as we made that mutual promise.)
(But then I tackled him.)
I was so shocked and surprised I really couldn't believe what was going on. Apparently I asked "Really?" I meant it like is this REALLY going on? Well he thought it was like a- "Really? You're proposing with that?" So he asked if that was a yes? And I finally realized I hadn't accepted yet, and I said "yes, and of course!" I was so teary eyed and emotional by then, I still remember how excited I was. My heart was beating so fast I was so excited.
totally shocked, said yes then i asked if i had guilted him into it! (he assured me that i hadn't though...)
Cried like a baby! I still to this day don't remember saying yes - I just remember hyperventilating and that my hand was shaking so bad he had to hold it steady to slip the ring on.
I started crying and kissing him as he delivered a sweet little speech he had prepared and then he put the ring on my finger...it was the happiest moment! that whole day I cheese'd till my mouth hurt and then kept smiling! :D It was the best day ever
I was totally shocked as well. He had me put me close my eyes so when he told me to open, I slowly opened my eyes and immediately I was crying. I can't even remember what he said but my reaction was "ABSOLUTELY!"
It really was one of the best days and best birthdays so far! :)
My cousin just proposed to one of my girl friends 2 weeks ago and she had a similar response. They had talked about marriage, but I guess she just wasn't expecting him to propose anytime soon. She was in total shock and....kinda walked out of the room. NOT what he was expecting. Not Hollywood at all. In the end, they got engaged and are jumping on the wedding planning bandwagon, but it was touch and go for a day, 'til they talked things out.
Hard to remember but when I realized he was getting to the question part I started to say oh my god then shaking my head no and saying no no no over and over. Then I started crying and he had to ask me again cause I forgot to say yes. I thought it was so private until we realized that the entire restaurant (we were outside on a porch) was watching us and clapping...it was all glass.
I was totally surprised by him (he sang me songs while playing his guitar) and so when he handed me the CD copy of the songs he sang that read "Will you marry me?" I was in total shock, and honestly not sure I thought it was real until he got down on one knee and pulled out the ring. I was SHAKING and said YES!! before he said anything, then he, of course pointed out I didn't let him ask yet. So, I let him talk, and to be honest, don't remember much of what he said, I was so nervous/excited/shocked... best feeling ever!!!
pushing him away, what are you doing! omg omg omg, are you serious babe?... seriously, what are you doing!!!!!
was in shock, no tears, a lil watery eyed, but too shocked to really feel anything... and then said yes, gave him the biggest kiss ever and squeezed him so tight his neck hurt!
my face hurt from smiling so much that night!
I started giggling. I kind of knew it was coming, but I seriously could not stop laughing for like 15 mins. We'd just been on a 15 mile bike ride and were setting up for a picnic. It was really hot and humid that day - let's just say, i was definitely looking hot (and not the nice sense of hot ...). It was super cute though and perfectly us.
I immediately burst into huge, ugly cry-face sobs...Like, the second I realized what was happening...Couldn't even speak for a few minutes, although I guess I did manage to nod my head up and down a few times, signifying yes :)
hahah this is funny. I told him to "shut up" too! I was so surprised I barley remember him on one knee and I def don't remember him asking me! I just took the ring out of his hand and put it on! I didn't say yes until about an hour later when I realized I never accepted!
I asked if he was tying his shoe, then he asked, and I SCREAMED "WHAT!? Are you serious???" then acted like a 5 year old girl. We too have video and photos
i couldn't stop giggling, and then i didn't stop smiling for days
I cried......ALOT...I even turned away from him for a while. LOL As a matter of fact I cried when he said, "There's something that I want to ask you." Then I cried when he pulled open his coat to go into it's pocket. Then I cried when he finally asked. See a theme?
I said yes....just kidding. There were a couplde tears, mostly by him, and we hugged for a long time!
