Hellobee Boards

It was the last ski run of the day, and when we reached the peak, he told me he wanted a pic the two of us since we hardly get those. I agreed because it's true, but he demanded I take my glove off. I protested bc dude, it's cold up there! I ended up taking my glove off, and as my brother counted to 3 to snap the picture, he dropped down on one knee and proposed.

He proposed on New Year's Eve. We'd gone ring shopping together, so I knew it was coming, but I didn't expect it that soon. He had the day off, but I had to work, and then we had dinner reservations at Del Frisco's in Center City Philly. I got home from work around 4, and when he picked me up at the train station, he was already all dressed up for our dinner (which was a 9pm). I thought it was weird, but he's a weird dude. So we got home and when I walked in the door there were rose petals on the floor. I looked at him and he just told me to follow them. They led me up to our bedroom, where there was a dozen roses in a vase with a card propped in front. Hubs is a man of few words, so he let the card do the talking. He added a line at the end that said "So I just have one question to ask you...." and I turned around and he was down on one knee. He said something like "Will you?" and my response was something equally eloquent like, "You know I will!" Ha ha.

Atop the Stratosphere restaurant in Las Vegas. Neither of us are the romantic type so this was really special and unique.

On a beach. We already ate dinner but I was still hungry so we stopped at a beach side shack for hot dogs and beers (fancy). We were talking for a while then I kept whining about how I had to pee, and wanted to go back, and I was cold, and blah blah. Finally he was just like "dammit woman! give me five minutes!" and gave me the ring and said really sweet things. I honestly was not expecting it at all as we had agreed no rings, no proposals, let's just get married. So it was super sweet and I was really surprised!!

He surprised me while I was studying in Barcelona. He took me to my favorite place in the city to actually propose.

He sent me on a scavenger hunt. Every clue led me to a place that was special to us. At the end he was waiting and he proposed. He had a friend follow me with a video camera, so the entire thing is on tape!

On our final walk-through inspection, the master bedroom was the last room we ended up. I was scrubbed out in a tee/jeans/notebook and pen in hand... he got down and gave me this speech and proposed... all I remember saying is OMGOD BABE ARE YOU SERIOUS over and over agian, even though we'd been talking about it all summer long and I told him I couldn't move in just being a "gf" LOL.

He had our realtor tape the whole thing so we have it on dvd~

at the Trevi Fountain in Rome.

Yay, I'm happy there is a thread for this, and I'm not the least bit sorry to bump it back to current eyes.
Here you go, two for one!

From the beginning:
Hubby and I went to Christmas with my family, it must have been 2006. I guess he'd mentioned that he liked the idea of getting married on a one-number date, like 07/07/07 or, 08/08/08, because it would be neat.
Well, I'm pretty sure I know who blabbed, but suddenly people start congratulating me, and I'm all confused and surprised. I knew we would get married, but where was I for this proposal, hmm? He was all embarrassed.

So THEN we visit my twin in another state early in '07, probably around Easter. Her boyfriend was a musician who sang gigs at the local tiny coffee shop. He'd wrote a song about "Cliche" and instead of the proper ending finished it with "FrogTwin will you be my wife?" (but with her name of course!)
She'd had her camera to record him, but I'd thought she was taking pictures. After a noticable pause to process the wording change, she promptly dumps the camera in my lap with a gasp and a "hold this", and so the tackle and hug is not on film, and it ends right after the video gets back centered on them because I tried to take a picture.

Sitting around the house one day, hubby asked me to get him something from his wallet, I don't even remember. Afterwards, he became incredibly moody and I finally asked him what was wrong. He said he ruined the surprise, and I had no idea what he was talking about. Apparently he had the receipt for an engagement ring still in his wallet and he thought I had seen it. Well, now the surprise truly was ruined. I was all excited and promised that I'd be happy however he decided to propose, it would still be a surprise.

LilFrogSis got married the first of us 3 girls, On 07/05/07.

On the way to the courthouse in my little red convertible, and windy and glorious, he said it felt weird for her to be getting married before us, who had been together longer, and I din't even have a ring yet. Something like that. He pulls the ring box out of his pocket, and I squeal and get SUPER excited to finally see it. I mash him with one of those awkward sideways car hugs and then open the box...

and it's EMPTY!

He held up his hand with that smirk he gets, a sparkly ring on his pinky finger, and asks if I will marry him. Of course I say yes, and I think the rest of the trip I alternated between showering him with kisses and admiring the sparkle in the sunshine.

FrogTwin got married soon afterwards on 07/27/07 at their courthouse.

Mr. Frog and I had our wedding on 08/08/08
