    We fell asleep studying for finals in his dorm room. Middle of the night, he elbowed me a bit. I thought he was waking me up so I could sneak out. Instead, he mumbled, “You wanna get married?” “Sure,” I replied and went back to sleep. When we woke up, we were both like, “Did we just get engaged?”

    My husband was in the Army and came home from Iraq before Christmas one year, and proposed to me in the airport terminal wearing his dress uniform. People in the airport clapped for us.

    So sweet... my husband proposed to me at the zoo.
    I absolutely love giraffes and he "adopted" a giraffe in my name and set up a visit.
    We went to the zoo for the day and did the tour, ending with an "animal encounter" in the giraffe enclosure. We got to go out onto the exhibit and feed the giraffes. It was super cool and so much fun. I got to feed and pet 3 different giraffes and see them up close. While all this was going on, one of the zoo employees was taking pictures of everything for us, so I have pictures of the entire thing.
    So, after we're getting finished feeding the animals, my husband hugs me and tells me that he loves me. I was so engrossed in the giraffes that I replied with a quick "love you too" and went back to watching the giraffes. He gets my attention again and tells me that he wants to spend the rest of his life with me and proceeds to get down on one knee! I was in shock. He pulled out a little tiny giraffe stuffed toy with a ribbon tied on it's neck and a ring on the ribbon. He asked me to marry him, and of course I said yes! A crowd of people started clapping and cheering as he put the ring on my finger and we hugged and kissed. We spent the rest of the day hanging out at the zoo and people kept stopping to congratulate us.
    It was an amazing experience and definitely outside of my husband's comfort zone as he is a very quiet guy.

    This was so cute.
    My husband and I grew up together (3 and 4 years old). So it was almost Halloween and we were carving pumpkins like we had done for years. He had picked them up for us and put them out on the kitchen counter. I started carving the lid off of mine and opened it. I love the smell of a freshly opened pumpkin, brings back so many memories. I looked inside and saw a plastic baggie with something inside. I jumped back in amazement and looked at him and said. "There is a prize in my pumpkin!" I pulled it out and it was square so I then thought it was a candle and how did they grow a pumpkin with the candle inside? (He really should have rethought the proposal at this point for me being so ridiculous)
    He took the baggie and opened it and asked me to marry him. It was so awesome. He has been my bestfriend for 39 years and we have been married 15 this coming September. Two beautiful girls in that time as well. Thank you to your family for being so much fun for our family to watch.

    I just watched this video. I loved hearing your story. So, my husband proposed 10 years ago this week (Friday). We were at the beach with my family. He'd been planning it for a while and had told my whole family that he was going to propose. We had just arrived (within the hour) and I had gotten into the pool with my 14 month old nephew. He got me out of the pool and said "Let's take a walk." So, still wearing my bathing suit with a pair of shorts over top and my hair a hot mess we went for a walk on the beach. I knew that my sister and brother-in-law were cooking dinner at home so I was trying to hurry us back while still being in the moment. I started telling a story about when my cousin was a little girl and us walking on the beach and he stopped. The moment felt different all of a sudden. In my head I was screaming "stop talking" but I kept telling the story because it would've been weird to stop mid story. When I finished he said "I'm so glad to be at the beach with your family. Do you know what else will make it special? I'm going to ask you to marry me." He never actually said "will you marry me?" Hee Hee. We started hugging and kissing on the beach. It was really sweet. We then went back to the beach house and my whole family (mom, step dad, brother, sister-in-law, 2 step sisters, 2 brothers-in-law, step brother and nephew) were piled on the car port waiting for us to come back. It was hysterical. My stepdad allegedly asked everyone what was going to happen if I said no. HEE HEE Such fun memories!

    I was expecting to get engaged when my husband and I did, but I was definitely thrown off because he let us stay up until 2 or 3 in the morning watching movies the night before. I thought, there's no way he's going to propose to me tomorrow when I will look like I've been up all night, even with makeup. But then he took me to Fort Lee Historic Park and proposed to me while we looked down at the George Washington Bridge. He got his siblings and mine to hide and film the while thing. I was pretty surprised when they jumped out because I told him I wanted it to be just us, but retrospectively I'm glad he didn't listen to me. After we all took pictures together, he took me to his parents' house where our families were waiting, and we had a surpise outdoor engagement party (which I totally wasn't expecting, because COVID). They had decorated the backyard a LOT while we were gone, it was beautiful! That was at the end of 2020, and we just got married almost 5 months ago.

    Ours was quiet and sweet too. I had been making plans with my friends to the beach for May Day, he quietly behind my back had all my friends bail...so it was just us walking along the beach and enjoying the day. He didn't get down on a knee, and we didn't pull the ring out of the box until we were away from the water....but it was perfect :)

    We we're going home to Sweden ( my home country ) and a week or so before we went we decided to get engaged so when we got to Sweden we went to the Jewlers and picked out a rings for both of us (we have one ring for her and one for him) and then we surprised my family and my dad brought out the champagne etc and then we got married in Ireland where he is from and where we live and we got our wedding bands there. for some reason they have 9ct in Ireland and in Sweden we have 18 or 24ct so our rings have a sligth color diference but it doesn't matter because we wanted something from each others country.

    My parents got engaged in Central Park. My dad had his friend hide in the bushes to take a picture of the engagement. They had to hike through the blizzard snow with snow up to their shins/knees with my dad secretly texting the friend he had take the pictures to find him. My mom was like “can we stop now” she was wondering why he wanted to keep going. Then my dad got on his knee and proposed but you mom was really close to shedding a tear but she never cry about anything. At the end we are a happy family and my dads friend got an amazing* picture! They were in New York City for my dads birthday.

    My husband made a slide show of pictures of us. Within that slide show he had a picture of "will" then some more of us, then "you", and so on and so forth till me was written on his hand backwards in a mirror photo of himself. Then when the slide show was done he was on one knee with the ring in his hand and my daughter standing right next to him.

    My hubby took me out to dinner for our first date to a super fancy restaurant in another town, we had the most expensive meals, only for him to discover that he'd forgotten his wallet! (I laughed and paid) so when he proposed he brought me back there, and first showed me he'd remembered his wallet, then got down on one knee. The whole place clapped for us!

    I fought my husband tooth and nail all the way to our engagement. So I worked at a summer camp that had horses and every summer we would go on at least one ride together. So the week my best friend was up visiting we decided to go on a ride. I worked in the kitchen and before dinner my best friend asked to go shower with her (different showers, but shower at the same time). I was very confused and refused because she knew I had dinner to feed out. So after dinner both her and my boss/really good friend both suggest I go change my shirt... but I was going on a horse ride so why would I change into a clean shirt to do that? As we were walking over to the horse barn, my then boyfriend tried to kiss me hello... to which I told him we can't do that because there are campers around and we aren't engaged. (no pda unless engaged or married around campers). So we go on the horse ride and we get to "The Rock" (a large rock on the edge of a pond. I don't plan on getting off my horse at all. My husband then said he needs help with fixing his saddle... which I do while I'm still on my horse. He then walks out onto the rock and points to the next pond over saying there is something shiny over there... I proceed to semi argue with him that it's probably just the campsite over there or someone on the pond. I eventually get off my horse and grudgingly go out there to see. Getting frustrated that I tell him there is nothing over there he says "Something shiny...like this" and I turn around to him down on one knee. I continue to burst out laughing realizing what just happened.

    I proposed to my husband because we just kept talking about getting married like nonstop, and it was him who would bring it up. I bought a ring and flowers and got down on one knee. His response was "uh... sure." It was supposed to be beautiful and romantic and it ended up being the least romantic thing. And after we were officially engaged instead of just constantly talking about it, he never asked me. I am glad that I married him, but I am sad that it happened like that. He didn't have any plans to ask me in the works at the time because "a blimp costs too much." He's quite dramatic. lol

    No NO NO! I really hope you didn't make pillows. Save it for Lola! She can take it to a seamstress and update it, but it is such a nice way to start a tradition in your family. I wish my mom had saved hers but as I hadn't been born yet (I attended the wedding though) I really couldn't ask her to save it.

He was bringing me home, and it was an hour drive, so we pulled off about 15 on the road to pick up some drinks, and I said "I kinda think we should just get married" and his response was "Yeah me too." I said "yeah", and he was like "for real, 100% lets get married" I said "Lets do it". That was a sunday, and we got married that friday afternoon.

    Hi Kim, please do not make pillows out of your w.gown!!!! My daughter is a wedding planner and she tells me there is a thing where the daughter of that union makes a piece of her mother's gown into a piece of her (the daughter's) gown or veil if she can't fit into the dress itself. Or you could donate your gown to a charity. Love you, your shows and your family.

    my boyfriend took me away to a hotel for the weekend. He had a "plan" that I was oblivious to. I'm the one with ADHD, if that says anything. He planned for us to go to this fancy Italian restaurant where he was going to propose. I wasn't very hungry so I suggested going to a pizza arcade instead. We did and had pizza and ski-ball. That night (around 2 am) our hotel burned down. I had to pee and our hotel was burning down. No place to urinate. We walked a mile to the nearest 24 hour place and let the fire control take care of things. While we were sitting at the diner he proposed. I couldn't have made this up!

    Our engagement was very low key and I guess he never actually said "Will you marry me". To set the scene where it makes sense, you need to know a little of my husband's history. From the age of 2, everyone significant in his life left, his Dad abandoned his family when he was 2-ish, his big sisters who were like surrogate Moms ran away from home when he was about 7, his Mom passed away when he was 22, he was divorced by 23. We started dating when I was 20 and he was 24. After 2 years and a lot of ups and downs, we were in the spare room at my Mom's house, his head was on my lap and I was playing with his hair. He looked up at me with his amazingly blue teary eyes and said "please don't ever leave me". I never have and I never will. This November will be our 22 year anniversary as a couple. (married 15 with 3 beautiful daughters) I think it would have been weird and out of character if he had asked me in a traditional way.

    I just got engaged about a month ago, here's my story :)
    I was traveling with my mom for her birthday, and I knew my boyfriend would pick us up from the airport. Our flight got delayed, and we weren't going to get in till 11:30pm. When we got off the plane,i noticed my boyfriend looked very nice, ironed shirt, had put on cologne, hair looked perfect. I figured he was just excited to get me and had just taken a shower. I walked over to baggage claim to get my suitcase, and when I came back, he was down on one knee. He was so nervous that he didn't say a long speech or anything, but just asked what my answer was. Of course I said yes, and then realized someone was taking our picture. He had asked a photographer friend of ours to photograph the whole thing! It was an insanely sweet gesture, and I love him so much for it. I can't wait to marry this man :)

    Yes---saving a wedding dress & veil is a Thing Penn! Mine isn't in some hyperbaric box. it's hanging in my closet and I can still fit into it because I'm about 80 pounds thinner now than I was when we got married 17 years ago. I think my veil is with it as well but I'm not sure on that.
    There's an Organization that takes wedding dresses and makes them into preemie christening gowns for babies who are still born or die shortly after birth. I might do that with mine eventually 😊

    I was a DJ at a parents with out partners dance, I was also quite broke in those days. So in the middle of Always and Forever I stop the music and the gang of dancers come to a halt and look up at the stage where I was. I took up the mic and said "All of us here hope that one day we will once again find that very special person that will complete our life. For myself, I was told by my ex that no one will ever love you again, and for awhile I believed it. Well tonight I want to tell all of you here that I have found that one special person." The entire room was silent, you could almost hear a pin drop. I looked over at my wife to be, she was wearing a short spandex black dress, it was the 90's. I knew I was going to do this and I had practiced all the different lines that I wanted to use, but when it came right down to it my mind went blank. "Katie I said, you have taught my heart how to love again and I cant think of anyone that I would want to spend the rest of my life with...Baby, would you honer me by being my bride? There was momentary silence that seemed to hang in the air like one of thous word bubbles. Then a smile came across her lips and she said YES! I jumped from the stage and ran to her and with the 25 cents ring I got out of a vending gumball machine I put it on her finger and promised to do better soon. She still has that ring 30 years later, and though it has not always been an easy road blending two families, we would never want to change it.

    My beautiful bride and I started going to a singles Bible study. I went to check out single girls. Yeah I know, not the best motivation, but a better place to look for woman than a bar.
    She noticed me, I was a little slower to notice her, a week latter the group went bowling and I was at the score keepers table and she asked me to "teach her how to score."
    Well it worked, I asked her on a date. We live near the mountains, so our first date we drove up to a lake in the morning and spent hours walking trails and talking, then ate a picnic lunch. Then that afternoon driving back to town she said she said she wanted to cook me dinner. That evening she was making spaghetti sauce and asked me to open a cupboard and get noodles. I opened the door and the noodles dumped and it was like the "star trek scene; 'trouble with Tribbles'.
    I got a noodle shower.
    She was laughing so hard she was crying.
    She came over and wrapped her arms around me, and i blurted out," I love you, will you marry me?"
    Our first date, she asked me;" what took you so long to ask?
    That was 28 years ago and 3 kids.
    I love her more than ever. She is my best friend.

    Is anyone else curious about Penn choosing to drive from Florida to Atlanta for Kim’s ring? Surely, I can’t be the only one; there’s likely an interesting tale behind that decision. So, I am several years late to this video, but am certain that many people would share in the joy of y’all’s Wedding Story!

    My husband was deployed in Kuwait and he came home for 2 weeks. I knew he was planning on proposing but I was trying not to ruin his plans. A couple of days before he had gotten home I had come down with a stomach bug which unfortunately my husband caught. Valentine's day came around and even tho he still wasn't feeling well he went with his plans. He told me to lock myself in the bathroom because we were living in a hotel room. When I came out the bed was covered in rose petals and he started playing "Chasing Cars" on the guitar while singing to me. I started crying and when he was done with the song he slipped the ring on my finger

    I am proposing the 21st of September (Baggins Day). My wife to be thinks I am flying in on the 23rd and does not know that I will be arriving two days in advance. On our first Baggins day to boot that she thought we would be apart for. Her coworker/friend is in on it. Becky is a huge Harry Potter fan so I will burst into her office and scream "There is a Troll in the Dungeon, just thought you ought to know". After the hugs and kisses I will take a knee. At this point I really hope the pictures of rings and telling me her finger is a 7 is hints that this is a good idea. WISH ME LUCK (I will be recording it for shame or fame)

    So, my husband and I will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in July 2017. We got married while in college. He left a message on my answering machine asking me to marry him. He said, "This will be something for our kids to hear in the future, will you marry me?" Since we were broke college kids, we went to Kroger and got a ring out of those gumball machines. I still have the answering machine tape and that janky little ring in a box in the attic after all these years :)

    My BIL worked at the field museum in Chicago. My husband had him place an extra exhibit display in the hall of gems and placed my ring in it with a spot light on it. After visiting the museum my husband proposed to me in the hall of gems with the ring.

    I had a boyfriend that actually introduced me to my husband. The boyfriend I had Josh was very abusive. And he introduced me to my husband Tadd a week before Josh got arrested for beating me. Tadd and Josh weren't really good friends they were just acquaintances. I Remember when I first met my husband tadd I thought he was cute. It was until after Josh went to jail that we started hanging out more. I wasn't used to somebody being kind to me. I loved how close he was with his family he was very family-oriented. I had actually had a dream one night that he proposed to me on a horse-drawn carriage in a park at winter time. I had told my best friend about it who then told her boyfriend who told Tadd. When my husband I met we were both in a bad spot in her life. So as soon as we started dating he moved in and we have been together ever since. We met in 2004 and married in 2006. We have three beautiful children together. And let me tell you when I run into my ex boyfriend Josh I remind him how happy I am. It's amazing how out of something bad something so good can happen.

      I’m glad you got out of that situation! I met my husband of 8 years a very similar way- through a very awful ex-boyfriend. Sometimes life gives us a trial in order to give us what we need and are meant to have. I’m so happy for you!!!

The kids will love seeing it! I put mine under our tree every year as our tree skirt and it has been the best use of a one time $$$$ expense!! Thank you Mom and Dad for the best wedding gift that gets used every year.

    One of our first dates was a trip to Rock City and Ruby Falls. We dated, then were just friends, and then dated seriously again. So fourteen years later, he suggests we drive around and look at the fall leaves. Kind of odd since it was the middle of college football season. When we were at the top, where you can look out and see ever states, he proposed. I was teaching elementary school at the time and my students said I got my rock at Rock City. In our first journey there, I bought a See Rock City birdhouse. After we were marriedm my dad got it repainited with WILL YOU MARRY ME on one side.

    I recall my engagement story. 1st one was at Christmas and I freaked out told my folks.
    2nd one was kinda unique. We were in a graveyard( where his parents are buried) and he got on a knee and asked if I would marry him.
    Good memories!

I love spending time with you so much I want to do it till one of us is dead. Can you put this ring on so everyone knows we have this arrangement?" And i ran over and he had thering it was so sweet and perfect. Your story is adorable guys
