I just got engaged on May 27th. He proposed to me in my living room after he got home from work. Actually he asked to have the day off from work to go buy the ring. So he really did it right after he bought it. My ring is out getting sized and I can't wait to pick it up tomorrow. Who else here just got engaged? How did he propose?

Congratulations!
I had an awful proposal. We had talked about it beforehand, I told him what kind of ring I wanted, he told me how he wanted to do it. None of it happened. He got the exact wrong ring, he was the most unromantic thing, he didn't even say, "Will you marry me", he just held out the ring box. Blech. No planning whatsoever.

Did he say anything, though? Mine said nothing. He opened the ring box, got on one knee and handed it to me. He said nothing.

Oh dear. He didn't ask me that either, but I didn't mind. I'm not a typical woman so I don't think I would've liked it if he would've done the whole gotten on one knee proposal thing. I'm sorry that it didn't happen the way you wanted it to.

I've always wondered what that would be like. I'm not sure I would like it. It's a very foreign idea to Americans (which I am) but i guess it would be different if I had grown up with the idea. I think I would trust my mother to choose a man for me. She knows me very well.

Congratulations! I guess everything is going great for you and you seem to have the perfect man who is very sensitive and caring. I can't propose to anyone anytime soon because I'm already taken. I guess you could say I have a previous engagement.

Thank you, but I have to say he isn't the most sensative man I've ever met but he is caring. He's very manly which makes him a bit insensative at times but I love him anyway. It's not like I can expect him to be perfect because I'm not perfect either. :)

Congratulations on your engagement! I am not newly engaged - I got married almost 7 years ago, but I still remember how my husband did it! He was so nervous - it was very cute - and he had picked me up from the airport after a winter break trip of traveling to Australia. And I didn't even enjoy it because I was so love sick for my husband - I missed him so much! Now I wish I would have enjoyed myself :-)... but anyway back to the story - he picked me up and took me to the beach and we were talking and just enjoying each other and he asked me if I loved him and I said of course I did, and he pulled out the ring and said "this much"? And I of course was so excited & said YES!!

last week,my uncle got engaged to my would-be aunt. they both work in the same office. my uncle had told all his friends that he will spill a surprise and wanted their help. they co-operated and when the girl came to the office,all of them hid under one big desk.the watchman made a face and told that madam,today is a holiday. the girl felt jittery. suddenly all came around her and greeted her. last of all,my uncle came and placed the ring on my aunt's finger. i think that was a really novel way.

Aww, that's so sweet. That would make me nervous if he proposed that way. :)
