How were you proposed to???

DH went down on one knee in the middle of the street at 1am, when I well and truly should've already been home!

I love that! That sounds so beautiful!

My DH did propose on Christmas Eve, aussienic. We were sitting on a beach in Thailand, watching the sun set over the ocean, and he was really really quiet for half an hour, and he kept taking deep breaths and then nothing came out! So I sort of knew what was coming.

A hug and a whispered "do I have to get down on one knee?"

Minor disappointment there.

We were out on a work function (for my work..when I used to work for a cleaning company, great bunch of girls to go out with they were a lot of fun!). We went to a Mexican restaurant for the "dinner and a show" thing..only the show was a drag queen show... it was great, very funny. Then after the "intermission" the drag queen came and dragged DF up on the stage and gave him a lap dance, ripped his shirt off, and then said something about there being a special lady in the audience...so then she/he came and dragged me up on the stage and said there was something DF wanted to ask me, he got down on one knee (still laughing hysterically from his drag queen treatment) and asked me. It was sweet, he put a lot of thought and planning into it, from asking the owner of the restaurant if he could do it and then organising with it the drag queen, and most of my work mates knew about it but I had no idea! Although I did get an inkling something was going on... Whilst not exactly romantic, it certainly was different!

We had just arrived in New York. We were exhausted after having spent 9 hours at LAX waiting for a connecting flight, but DH wanted to go to Central Park - probably about a 15-20 minute walk from the hotel. We started walking and after about 2 blocks it started pouring with rain. We ran into a little pizzaeria and decided to wait for the storm to pass. He was acting really weird and was really quiet. I got cranky with him and told him to 'snap out of it, you're in New York for god's sake!' As we walked out of the cafe, it started raining harder so we headed back to the hotel... I was so wet by the time we made it back, I clearly remember standing in the lift and watching the water run down my face and drip off my nose.

We got back to the room and DH went to close the curtains so I could get changed. He said that he turned around and I was standing there laughing my head off wringing water out of my hair, and that he just knew he had to do it then. He walked over to me and said 'this is so us, isn't it? Sit down, we need to talk' and I **** myself, thinking something was wrong!! He reached into his pocket and I suddenly saw this glistening and I burst into tears!! It took me about 5 minutes to stop crying and he kept asking 'is it a good cry? Are you saying yes?'

I love it, of all the places in New York to propose, it happened in our hotel room after a walk in the rain!

another no-romantic one here.

DH and I had been together 18 months when we'd talked about getting married. we even looked at a few rings here and there and i showed him two i liked. nice and shiney but not OTT.

come our two year anniversary he wanted to supprise me with a nice dinner at Mt Dandynong. sadly he couldn't find the place, so spilled that much to me and i found it for him. so off we trot. i text my best friend at the time going "hah, two years and whats the bet he wont pop the question tonight?" she text back "hahah you never know!" we have a nice dinner with horrible wine - it was more like vinger then wine! and nothing.

now im not backwards in comming forwards and as we walked back to the car and i looked at him and said "i thought you'd ask me tonight, but i guess it was too much to think about i guess" we sit in the car and he starts fumbleing around 'trying to find his seat belt' next thing he pulls out a ring and says "are you SURE you want to stick with me? im not a huge money earner and i cant promise you'll live like your folks do. but i do love you" and with that i called him a ba$tard serveal times then hugged him (over the arm rest in the car lol) and said "yes you tool, yes!" followed by 3 phone calls. one to my mum. one to my sister and one to my best friend. my best friends reacton topped the lot, she screamed loud enough for DH to hear, with out the phone being on speaker!

Nothing romantic here either. We were talking to MIL telling her we were going away for the weekend to do some christmas shopping, and DH informs his mum that he is buying me an engagement ring, in front of me. This resulted in me telling him "No you're not" I dragged the poor man around to at least half a dozen shops trying to wear him down in the hope he would leave the idea alone. He wouldn't give up, and so i picked something out that i liked, but not loved... It had to be resized, and when it arrived home, he gave it to me asking if i was sure.. I said yeah, why not, now get out of my way i've got to get ready for work.. lol...

Dh proposed on the beach in Bali, three days before our wedding.

He had always said he would only propose to me in Bali, as we got together there in 2004.

So in 2008 when I fell pregnant with our son, we had to move our original plans forward. Well we didn't have to , but to DH we did. He was bring silly one night and we were arguing about names and he said well you have to marry me now otherwise my son won't have my name. That's what happens, your stuck with me now in a funny but serious sort of way. He though our son wouldn't have his last name , soooo funny

So we were planning a September 08 wedding but moved it to June as decided to get married in Bali rather than just the proposal lol
And because by then I would be 17 weeks and still able to fly and wear a dress.

So we planned our wedding and when we were there, in Bali DH and I rode our motorbike out to our special place where he asked me to be his girlfriend in 2004 and on 1st June 2008 we became engaged officially thought we married two days late.

I got my perfect ring in our perfect place with my perfect man and I couldn't be happier with the way things turned out for us.

I used to joke that I'd leave him if he didn't marry me after 3 years. 3 being my lucky number. So he knew it was time anyway lol

On our 3rd date hubby took me (new to Canb.) to the top of Mt Ainslie to "look at the lights" I LOVED it and he took the chance to give me a first kiss.
We often would go up there after an evening out 'cause I loved looking out at the lights. One night after we'd been dating for several months hubby took me up there after a lovely dinner out and asked me to marry him and produced a ring that I absolutely LOVE. He just held me in a lovely hug (inside his jacket cause it was cold) and then pulled a ring out of his pocket. I wasn't expecting it. Not hugely romantic but lovely.
