I'm just curious, how did you all react when he proposed? Squealed, cried, laughed, etc? I'm trying to picture how I will react when he proposes and I honestly have no idea how I will react on the day itself... So just wanting to ask your personal experiences. Did you expect yourself to react a certain way? And if you did, did you adhere to that or was it completely different?
You know, I'm going to say how did you react when THEY proposed... I want to hear from those in LGBT relationships too!
Both FI and I were sick on Christmas Eve last year. I was moreso still than he was so I had a squeaky voice and stuffy nose. It was awesome. Anyways, I kept saying "nu uh" over and over again. It was so surreal nor did I believe it was real (he was against marriage and told me so when we first started dating). Needless to say, I was in shock. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't. FI had to remind me to say yes and he helped me put the ring on my finger.
My reaction on Facebook (after calling family) was "HOLY SNICKERDOODLES! Engaged status!" with a picture of the ring on my finger.
=)
@MissPumpkinPie: Aaaw too cute! Lol, I like how he had to remind you to say yes! Did you know he was going to do it?
I cried and laughed I think, and grabbed him and hugged him. I know there was definitely tears! Good ones of course! He got on one knee at our favourite park. I was totally surprised and had no idea it was coming!
@NehaPrasad92: No. I never, ever thought he'd propose in a million years - especially as soon as he did. We were together a little over a year. I thought if he WAS going to propose, he'd want to wait until we were "settled" down a bit more. It was an amazing surprise and Christmas present.
ETA: We never spoke about weddings/proposals/marriage. I never looked at rings or gave him ideas. I would joke around with him once in awhile, but nothing serious.
@FutureMrsTimmins: Aaaw! Did you see yourself reacting like that or was it totally out of character?
I just got a HUGE smile on my face and said, "yes" in a really soft (funny sounding) voice, lol.
First I said: Are you serious? He nodded, a little misty-eyed.
Then I said: Of course.
Then I said: Oh my God. Oh my god. I can't believe this is happening.
Then I started crying and said: You want me to be your wife? That is so amazing.
Then I said: Are you sure?
He was a little annoyed at the last one :)
@NehaPrasad92: It's definitely how I saw myself reacting. I usually cry when I have a lot of emotion, whether it's good emotion or bad. I'm already looking ahead to when I say my vows and how I'm going to contain my tears. MOH has joked that she is going to need to keep a bunch of kleenex in her bra, but I think she may really have to! lol
I didn't breathe.
It was very, very unexpected; I just looked at him and made sure he said what I thought he said; and meant it.
I managed a "yes, I will" and then there was much hugging, holding, and kissing.
No tears, no squeals; just a moment of complete breathless surprise.
I am loving hearing all of your reactions, they are absolutely adorable! If you knew about it, did you have expectations of how you will react? And when the time came, did you adhere to those or was it completely different?
It was a huge surprise for me. I had mentioned one or twice about us heading in the direction but he always hated talking about it. I cried sooo much and forgot to say yes!
I thought I would cry but I didn't. I did ask after he held the ring out for a little bit "well are you going to put it on?" He forgot about that part and I didn't want to be greedy and snatch it from him! Mostly we were just really happy and excited to call our parents (all of whom already knew)
That's the part I'm dreading, telling MY parents... He's shown the ring to his family, and they know he's going to propose at some point, but mine have no idea lol...
FI called my parents a few days beforehand to ask for my dad's blessing so everyone knew!
-as I walked into my house I knew he was going to propose because of the trail of rose petals and the poster with pictures and instructions on it.. I started shaking and it felt surreal.. I had to read 3 posters before getting to him and I was shaking so bad.. then when I opened the door and he was kneeling down I just felt so happy and it was surreal.. I didn't cry.. I'm not a happy crier.. I cry when I'm sad or angry..so I was smiling and just really happy. it was a surreal moment :)
I think I was laughing and crying at the same time when he proposed. I saw it coming, but when I saw him get on one knee, I was like "Wow, this is really happening!!" and just started crying. They were tears of absolute joy :)
@SunnyBunny: Oh my, everyone knew but you? I don't think my family could keep it from me, they'd be dropping hints here there and everywhere hahaha
He just proposed last night! I cried and hugged him and almost forgot to say yes!
I totally thought I would cry, but I didn't! I was really surprised that it was happening (even though we had been ring shopping and talking about marriage), I just didn't see it coming that day. I grabbed the ring, put it on my finger, and said "OF COURSE!" Then we just kind of sat and snuggled for a while. I was a little speechless after that---and I'm NEVER speechless! :) It was a great day!
@NehaPrasad92: Thank you :) it was a surprise! He was coming home from an academic conference and when he got home he gave me what looked like a macys bill lol so I opened it and there was a letter inside from him that was full of all these wonderful things and he told me to meet him in the other room so I did and he said some other wonderful things and before he could get to asking me I started crying lol I finally let up my crying enough for him to ask. I'm a very difficult person to suprise so I'm glad he skipped taking me somewhere because I would have known right away! keeping it simple and at home was the best way to surprise me!
I thought for sure I would cry, but I just kinda jumped up and down and kept saying "are you really doing this?!?" Everything was a blur - neither of us remember what he said - I just know I said yes like a thousand times and hugged him and wouldn't let go.
Aaaw these stories are so cute! Everyone's reactions are so different, it's wonderful!
FI still makes fun of me for my reacton.
First when he knelt down in front of me I said, "What are you doing?"
He didn't really have a speech or anything, he just asked... my response was "Really?"
And then I said "Of course!" and we stood there hugging and saying, "Omg we're engaged!" for a while.
Mine was pretty unexpected so I was sort of confused, haha. FI still thinks it's funny that I didn't even know if he was serious at first.
I was oblivious. He did it where we met, had it all set up with the DJ and when he called out names out I thought he had won a contest!-- After he asked I just nodded (ok, there were like 43890482 people staring at me, ok!?)-- and then they played our song and I floated around the dance floor with him. Literally floated as in he picked me up because I could not feel my legs.
At first Icouldn't speak. I cried a little. I finally mustered up a yes then I asked if I was being punk'd just to be sure!
I cried..I lauged..and I think spit some pretzel out. i had just put one in my mouth as he was starting in on "one of his crazy ideas" as he said so i thought I had some time before I was going to be adding anything to the conversation..little did i know it was the best idea ever!! lol and I would have to say something sooner! ohh i love replaying that moment over and over again in my head!
Oh my goodness, I CRIED. The proposal started with a video, and tears were streaming down my face midway through it, and by the time the video was over and I turned around to find him on one knee, I was sobbing with happiness :) There were definitely happy squeaks involved too :)
Aaaaw I can't emphasise how cute these proposals are and how happy they make me ^_^ And all of your reactions are so cute as well!
I pretty much screamed in shock, then proceeded to ugly cry/sob through the entire thing, turn bright red and get mascara all over my face. And of course I grabbed the ring out of his hand and slammed it on my finger. It was very ladylike and civilized.
No, it wasn't.
:)
I'm not easy to surprise and I don't like them so when he left instructions that morning for a backyard scavenger hunt I knew what was up. He didn't actually propose until later that day, so I spent the entire day feeling sick to my stomach, deliriously happy, giddy and somewhat hysterical. When he asked I burst into tears, nodded and said "uh huh" because I couldn't talk for the lump in my throat. I couldn't even see my ring through all my tears. Eventually I asked, "Are you sure?" hugged, sat on his lap and cried some more. Then I got a good look at my ring and said, "Oh my god, you're crazy!" Happiest day (and best ring) ever!
@KristenGotMarried: Hahahaha, you kill me. I'm sure it was very becoming. :)
I am a VERY emotional person, I cry at commercials, I cry when my Dad tells me he loves me, I cry when I have to say good bye to my brothers kids, I cry when I see old people holding hands, I cry when people tell me they love each other.
Soooooo....when he asked, I did not cry.
EVERYONE knew but me; he had asked my parents the night before and he had told all of my friends and all of his wrestling team knew. It was Valentine's day and he took me to the place he first asked me to be his girlfriend waaaaay back in high school. He got on one knee in with his back to the lights of our town and asked me. And I said...."Duh."
Appropriate, right?
I started crying when I saw him down on one knee. I cried immediately! And I didn't think I was going to cry at all so there you go. :)
I always thought that I would cry, but instead I was giddily happy. I couldn't stop smiling and giggling the entire time.
