Yes. I'm am not picky at all but he didn't even get on one knee or put the ring on my finger when I know that he knew that's something I would have wanted. I don't tell our story because it's actually a little worse than him just not getting on his knee but I really wouldn't have Carex about any of that if I had felt that he actually put a little effort into making it special for me. In the end, I love him & that's all that matters. I have to let petty things like this go (if you can't tell, I'm still working on that last part a little lol)
-
Not at all! He went all out and it was so dreamy! Everything I could hope for!
-
I am not disappointed but I wish other people wouldn't pick on the way he purposed to me. It was very us and private. No bells and whistles but I don't need that.
-
Well, our actual "engagement" was us having a discussion and there was no ring, so I would say as far as a proposal goes, it was pretty disappointing. When the ring came in he did "propose" again though.

@Mrs. Sunshine: Aw. /hug

Uh, just realized how old this was & that I've already posted on this thread. HA.
-
@alohaorchid: Wow our story is very similar.
We talked about it... we agreed to get engaged... we picked out the ring together... when it came in and we went home... he got in one knee and proposed privately... which I did like a lot and wasn't expecting.
I am happy with it. I wished he thought of asking me to marry me on his own without having a discussion but that's just who he is. Also I don't like surprises so it was good for me... plus we got to pick the ring together which was a lot of fun.
-
no, it was perfect!
-
I'm not, but he was (is).
-
I had not really thought about it. The plan was to get married after college, so I expected a proposal to happen sometime after I graduated. He totally surprised me and proposed shortly after my 21st birthday. Down on one knee and asked my parents and the whole thing. We got married the next year while I was in college. It was at a location that was important to us and we ended up just picking it as our wedding venue, good call M :).
-
Not in the slightest.
Like many of you I wanted it to be just us and it was. His plan was to propose at sunset but he realized once we were on the island that we were on the side where the sun rises over the ocean so had to switch up his plan. He woke me up at sunrise on vacation (he's lucky I'm an early bird and didn't get cranky with him).
-
A little, yeah, but it was still special! I knew it was coming. DH knew I loved the beach, but we unfortunately ended up on a Washington beach...at sunset...on a brisk day. It was SO cold! I was so excited, even though I knew it was coming. Bummer was that he didn't have a ring! I think that would have definitely made it perfect, but I know DH's style...it took A LOT for him to be romantic, and the practical side of him wanted to be sure we picked out a ring that I liked
Still one of the best days ever, albeit imperfect.
-
I wasn't.
-
The proposal was perfect.
-
Not at all! He asked my dad, got down on one knee, everything.
The only thing that disappoints me is that I was taking his picture as he knelt down to propose (he was originally just standing by the water...didn't know he was going to do that) but when he started proposing I freaked out and didn't snap the shutter! So I could've had that picture and don't...but DH says he would've been upset if I had the presence of mind enough to take the picture while he was proposing!
-
I'm over it at this point, but at the time i was a bit peeved and sort of embellished the story to make it sound better when people asked. At this point i've let it go.
Things he did right
- he asked my parents ahead of time
- he bought a beautiful ring
- he did it privately
Things that could have used improvement
- He let it slip that he was going to pick "something up down town" but i couldn't go with him
- He didn't actually plan anything ahead of time - he said the moment felt right so he went and got the ring out of the closet
- There was no soliloquy or speech just a "will you marry me?"
- Not great timing but that was out of his control - he was laid off the day after he went to buy the ring so when he proposed six weeks later he was still job hunting and i think the first thing out of my mouth was "are you crazy?" -
Well, my husband proposed during drunken sex. So, no? It was very sweet and genuine.
