that's so lame!  We also got engaged on Valentine's Day (our 9th V-day together).  To us, it gives more meaning to the holiday now!!  At the end of the day, it sounds like jealousy.

I think a vday proposal is really really cute as because it means he was trying to be super romantic, Boys are just so sweet sometimes :)

People say the same thing about new years eve proposals but mine was just perfect.

Haters gonna hate :P

try this one on for size ladies, in regards to my girlfriends christmas proposal... "a couple that takes away from the birth of jesus christ doesn't deserve to be happily married."

@HoneyBear: Somebody said that about my FI proposing on my b-day. She goes "What he didn't want to get you a real present?" My jaw dropped. I said (and ladies, this was really bitchy of me, but me and the girl who said it have a looooong history of her being snarky to me), "What did your boyfriend get you? Oh wait, that's right no one will put up with you long enough to last more than a month." I felt ashamed later for saying it, but it was just one more thing after a long string of other things. I found out later that she was interested in my FI when we were in college and she had always been bitter about him choosing me. Bleh, just ignore the bitter people, you are happy and it's obvious she is not. Don't let her bring you down!!! :)

@HoneyBear: Yup. And like a guppy I just sat with my jaw wide opened as my wonderful girlfriend smiled and said, "thats unfortunate you think that, it's actually quite special sharing the day with Jesus. I wouldn't expect you to truely understand what the feeling of a proposal is like anyway."

naturally the girl is (still) not engaged to her boyfriend of 7 years.

@Lilubird: I think her BF is smart if she often says snarky things like that. I can't stand people who put other people down to make themselves feel better. It's so sad.

@HoneyBear: yea, she's a tough cookie. My fiance always says her fiance is going to have to enjoy wearing shorts cause she ALWAYS wearin' the pants lol

i was totally expecting to have to come in here and defend my v-day proposal, lol.  I'm semi-glad that's not the case.   I think some people are just bitter about v-day in general sometimes.  Which i don't understand, I didn't even understand it when i was single.  my v-day proposal was the first v-day i ever celebrated with a bf.  FI and i were together last year on v-day but for some reason we didn't celebrate it.  so, i was very excited to have a real valentines day, and now that he used that day to propose, it's 10 times more special. 

Ugh, people should keep comments like that to themselves! That is just their opinion and I wouldn't let it bother me. My FI proposed to me on Valentine's Day this year as well and I really didn't think he would cuz it was Valentine's Day. That is why he decided to since he knew I would think it wouldn't happen then. Haha. It was as perfect as it would have been any other day.

I am not a big fan of Valentine's Day cuz it's so commercialized, but I think the thought of a Vday proposal is sweet since it is a day geared towards celebrating love.

Anytime someone starts with "No offense...." I cringe. If you don't want to be offensive, it's probably best not to say it.

Good for you for takign the high road though! She's just bitter.

My FI proposed about 5 days before V-Day and people kept asking, "Why didn't you just wait for Valentine's Day??"  Bizarre how people feel the need to comment on a guy's timing. 

@SoonToBeeMrsD: A real present?  I think an engagement ring is the ultimate present.  Talk about jealous!
