We'd talked about getting married for some time, and both wanted to be... We'd played the game of pick the engagement ring in the High St jewellers so I knew what kind of ring she liked.

I'd gone away for a week not long after this and realised just how much I missed her, so I came back went to the jewellery quarter in Birmingham and picked up a stunning ring. Came back home, visited her parents and asked their permission / blessing. Which I got

Then we went out for a walk in the local gardens and I knew of a private spot next to the local Church, so I steered us up towards it and as we walked I asked if she did want to get married one day.

As we walked up to the side of the Church where the trees overhang, the service inside was going on and a hymn started... all very picturesque

She was saying "Yes, you know I love you and want to marry you" and I was asking, so if I asked here you would say yes? She replied "well of course I would". I pulled the ring out of my pocket and said "Will you marry me then?"

She burst into tears! I had to ask again, so I could get a straight answer. She did say yes, and burst into tears again... and every time she calmed down, looked at the ring and it set her off (she was HAPPY before any smart **** chimes in )

We got married at the Church where I proposed and we had photos taken at the exact spot on the day we married. No one got copies of those photos as they were private to us.

The exact spot is here: stapenhill - Google Maps

On a mountain during a skiing holiday.

Having a drink inside an Alpine Hut at the top of a mountain I made the excuse that I needed the loo. I went outside, over a fence and created the words "MARRY ME SUZY" by walking in an area of virgin snow that was visible from the outside deck / seating area.
On my return from "the loo" I said we should move outside to finish our drinks so we had a nicer view.
We sat at a bench with a perfect view of my "proposal" but it took nearly 10 minutes until she noticed it. Not thinking it was intended for her she started saying "oooo look at that . . . " at the same time turning to look at me. I was sat there grinning like a chesire cat.
When the penny dropped she screamed and threw her arms around me.

Just about every other skier congratulated us and we drank so much free booze that skiing back down drunk was funny as **** (if a little stoopid).
And had fantastic sex that night too


Used to have the pics of snowy proposal but sadly they were lost when a hdd failed last year.

the above was my present wife. 1st wife I don't recall proposing, just having 2 weeks ******** in corfu and coming back announcing we were getting engaged.. Think I must have agreed during drunken sex or something

Did it on the edge of The Grand Canyon - luckily for her she said yes,otherwise she was getting pushed over the edge for making me look silly and wasting my time

Removed.

In bed, it was so good I asked her to marry me

druddle

Darling Harbour Bridge in Sydney to a rapturous round of applause (after she said yes !!)

Anyone that says I bought the ring in Oz to save money by claiming the GST back is.....errrrrr.....partially right

That must be the bloke I keep bumping into in the bushes

I was racking my brains for a way to present my ring (sorry cant help it)

We had just moved in to our first house, we were decorating and both off work, we had been talking about things you never see any more, "Lucky Bags" had been mentioned, you know, a brightly printed paper bag about 8 inches square containing usually a crap toy and some crap sweets.

Anyway, I nipped down to the local shops for lunch and whilst getting the usual crap I saw Lucky bags and a plan was hatched, I bought one, prized it open whilst still out at the shops, scuttled home popped the ring in on a piece of Silk (so it didnt lodge in the corner of the bag), sealed it up, made some butties and gave her a shout that lunch was ready, she came down and I said "Look what I found" and she was thrilled, so coincidental seeing as we only mentioned them the night before.

She open the bag, and started rooting through, produced some plastic crap toy, some nasty looking sweets and then the bit of silk with an Engagement ring attached "oooh thats nice......." and then the realisation had dawned and her face was a picture, especially as she hadnt twigged why I was knelt
down, she either hadnt noticed or assumed it was shoe related.

So, i dont really do romance very well and am not one for grand gestures (mainly down to being a tightwad ) but I think i pulled that off in a fairl romantic and even, dare I say it imaginative way, not for me the obvious build up, the surprise trip, the posh meal, no, a Lucky Bag, ten minutes and then she was back stripping wallpaper, and thats including sealing the deal....

On the peak of Sulphur mountain in Banff, Canada.

Sorry, i have not got any cake pics Tam.

This pic though, although not taken of her on the evening in question and having the exact same attire, is in a similiar vein i believe.

On a beach up in the north of Scotland on a September evening's sunset.
(Beaches on the Western Islands and Highlands of Scotland are better than anything you will find abroad, we just dont have the weather to go with it )

Simon C

Pished up in a bar in Lytham St Annes by text on a works night out.

Thankfully it never went ahead and I dodged a massive bullit, gold digging bitch.

my fiance proposed when we were on holiday in Fuerteventura...

He had bought the ring over here, and squirelled it away in his camera bag until we arrived on holibobs.. he was going to wait but apparently my penchant for getting the camera out and taking photos as soon as we arrive kind of foofed things up...

I had only just come out of the bathroom, when he was on 1 knee

Mine proposed to me in a floating boat for the first time round (First marriage. Boat rocked, eventually. Ah, well. ). Second time round, it was Barbados beach, where we ended up getting married too. it was cool on both occasions

Bubba po

In my Mam's kitchen, after having cooked her a meal of Chili con Carne. She told me to **** off, as she thought I was winding her up.

Twice went down on one knee and twice rejected .

Eventually She asked me in a Pub in Glasgow - being "advised" by her best pal to ask me as I'd said she'd had her two offers from me and wasn't getting any more.

Fifteen years ago.

ps If I'd have killed her then I'd be out by now
