My husband took me to the top of the Eiffel tower. I'm severely afraid of heights so on the rickety elevator ride up, I jokingly said 1/2

That's a really minor thing, and if you don't already know her tastes then you probably shouldn't be getting married. Just be observant.
hawkeye9900
Imagine all the loud booing if the guy at the concert was denied...
hartmonica
that's why I think some of these were "hinted" at by the girl or planned a lil bit. No one dresses that stylish when they go hiking c'mon
dnebdal
And that's the reason I find this kind of thing a bit ... rude. Don't bring an audience. Do make it easy to give an honest answer.

Generally good advice is to be 100% sure they will say yes before proposing. Like, have a discussion about it before hand. May ruin the (1)

surprise a tiny bit, but you can still wait a while before proposing and make it a surprise. It will save you a lot of trouble. (2)
JayBird2782
a guy I know knew that his girl wasn't expecting the proposal for another 4-5 months so he did it then to keep the surprise factor
Psychethos
That's how my husband did it too. We'd agreed we wanted to get married, but he led me to believe it would be a while yet before he proposed.
AsAnArtTeacherIApprove
I'm seeing all these great suggestions for talking about marriage and the future before you propose. As a 34 year old woman with three cats

I could hook you up with My Fucking Brother. He's a veterinarian, very charming, but in the end you would destroy each other. And blame me.

I would know nothing about these types of conversation.
promere
People who want *functioning* relationships don't propose until they already know what the answer is going to be.
LiterallyYourMom
I mean, really high functioning relationships would discuss it at length and probably not spend a few grand on a rock, but hey tradition.

Of course there might be a small part of you wondering 'what if they say no', but hopefully you had the whole marriage discussion beforehand

sooner518
same. she kept texting me over the weeks after "did you go pick up the ring yet?". i made her sweat for a little bit before actually asking
CommanderWilliamTRiker
Exactly.GF and I talk about it all the time. We both know the current financial and residential constraints. Communication is a great thing!
RepublicofTexa
Yeah when I proposed, my wife had been leaving up ring/wedding websites on the computer for months
promere
Haha, that's hilarious
StarmanUltra
I had gotten several comments to the tune of "I'd say yes you know" out of the blue.
SimZz
Should've replied by leaving deepthroat porn videos on the computer for months.
purplegorillacolonel
Now THAT is the kind of hint men understand
TurtlePee
Haha.
AdamNeverAskedForThisJensen
Simple and to the point.
MalcolmButler
"That's odd, when did pornhub start selling bridal gowns?"
ohboyboy
And even then it took months!
HerrBisch
Well you've gotta make sure she really means it and it wasn't a one off that you're overreacting to.
BionicRagdoll
I actually took a minute to think about before saying yes to my fiancé. It's not a decision you rush.
ThisFrickenGuy
a minute? Sounds pretty rushed to me if you didn't already know ahead of time what you'd say lol
Zodi
Yeah that's rushed. "I like this guy and I've been dating him, but I've never thought what I'd say if he proposed."
TheresAlwaysTimeForLubricant
You think about the moment A LOT before it happens and think you know exactly how you'd react. It's nothing like the actual moment though.
Tamponsareforepistaxis
We were at the dmv and he pointed to the marriage license area and said "while we're here let's get a marriage license." I said "OK"
pbcup
My parents were a bit tipsy when my dad popped the question, then gave my mom 24 hours to change her mind
pbcup
They just celebrated their 30 year anniversary this past fall
globexcorporation
Mine proposed in the car driving home from a romantic weekend because he chickened out during the weekend.
Taalen
I asked if she thought we should see a goldsmith.
captainclutch
We have different offices for driver's license, car registration, marriage license, etc... They're all on different sides of town.
f4m0us4m0s
username made me look up and learn the definition of "epistaxis" +1
WhereLBJsNutsHang
The first time I said it my bf (who had above mentioned nose bleed) said "A PENIS TAXI WTF MAN.
Calltheoddpolicebecauseicanteven
He "dropped" the box and said "oh, what was that?" I said "I dunno. You dropped it, pick it up." Kind of hatefully. Whoops.
Imreallynotsoclever
Then GF said she had a dream we were married. I said something along the lines of "might as well, what do you think?". She said yes.
Imreallynotsoclever
She made me do it again on one knee when the ring came in.
indref
I said "so we're gonna get married, yeah?" She said "yep". I said "righto".
WeAreAllStoriesInTheEnd
We were grocery shopping at Walmart and he stopped at the ring case and told me to pick one.
nicolas17
Seriously?
shavtetri
We were in bed when he says "Hey. So do you want to get married?" Then we did. At the courthouse, with the fam. 10/10 would marry again.
Letmeramble
Me too!! Got married at the JoP the next day
BitchImCanadian
Mine proposed to me over KD on a really shitty night. We went out drinking with friends after. We're getting married in 2 months.
Automatvapen
When I proposed to my SO pulled me up from my knee and said "wtf are you doing dumbfuck get up!" She said yes, so at least I had that going.
UpvotesForCalicos
"Sure, I guess."
IThinkWeAllKnowWhoLetTheDogsOut
My step father proposed by asking my mom if she wanting the wedding in a chapel or not... he then went to play golf. O.o
BeeDragon
Mine proposed while we were snowshoeing in a cemetery.
lildeidei
We got married in Vegas, but only because we were already going there for Christmas.
DW223
My husband had planned to propose at dinner for my bday. Got nervous, ended up just proposing at home as I walked out of the toilet.
ZOMGNO
On an unrelated note, you're the first person I've met who knows the word epistaxis. You rule.
NicoleSchneider
Efficient
monadi
Haha, I would totally do this. Love the simplicity.
trustmeimascientist
Are you Liz Lemon?
ginniper
He spun me around in my computer chair " I got you a ring blondie"
AsAnImaginaryFriend
That is so crazy cute.
rebe2018
this sounds oddly creepy/endearing
ginniper
We're both nerdy nerds with terrible people skills. It was mostly endearing. But we're both pretty creepy too

wartortle27
Mom??
ionlyspeakthetruth
This actually happened to my mom. on her 4th marriage.
LittleE92
That's like how my dad proposed to my mom, over the phone "You're going to marry me aren't you", my mom "I guess"
AFelineMassofEyes
To get his nerve up, my dad did a practice proposal in German. My mother doesn't even know what "gesundheit" means.
ArmChairCommentator
Smart!!
LittleE92
Oh wow that's interesting lol
Awkwardlyerotic
He planted stupid post-it notes all over my stuff with silly questions, with the last one asking if I wanted a formal wedding or not.
Awkwardlyerotic
I didn't want a formal. I wouldn't change it for the world.
SlayrFoxes
The first time my dad proposed to my mom she threw the flowers out the window and said the ring was too small...
Itspenguintime
First time?.. So he proposed more than once?
SlayrFoxes
Surprisingly, yes. The second time she said yes for some unknown reason
sowetoninja
bigger ring...
IAmTheAwkwardPenguin
Your mom sounds like a real treasure.
SlayrFoxes
Definitely a keeper
erraerra
Bitch of the century.
COCKCRUSHER
I would've thundergunned right out of that relationship
theycamepresmoked
I was pregnant and he said, "So, I guess we should probably get married then, huh?" Talk about sweeping a girl off her feet!
eskimo56
Did it last?
theycamepresmoked
It'll be 8 years in June!
eskimo56
Yaaaaay
TwoPumpTrump
Well he certainly had your feet up in the air. If you know what I mean. ;)
WouldYouFuckMeIdFuckMe
Sex!
yanocchi
My (now) stepdad proposed to my mom at a car rental in E. LA so they could both drive the car. "There, we're engaged, give us the damn car."
whoisbillnye
Did they get married?
yanocchi
Yeah, like 4 years later :P
TheBlackShakes
That is so romantic http://img.pandawhale.com/99309-its-so-beautiful-gif-Jake-the-wAgY.gif
yanocchi
He proposed again on Kailua Beach at sunset on their anniversary, blah blah blah. I still think the rental car proposal was better.
SandFox
My mom was on a really tight budget at the time and she was all stressed about Christmas and she asked my dad to "just tell her what he (1)
SandFox
wanted for Christmas" and he turned and said "I want you to marry me"... not the most romantic but still pretty cute! (2)
sowetoninja
I think that's romantic...but I have a tendency to imagine things more romantic than it probably was..
SandFox
The way they tell it seems pretty romantic, I like to think it was.
scarierspice
My hubby got a bit drunk the weekend before he was going to propose and spilled it all. I still don't know if he remembers.
dmay1210
Spilled his guts or his drink,?
OrangeCarrot
This sounds totally like something that I would do, minus the drunk part and plus some anxiety
keyqueen
My bf is the WORST at keeping surprises. He had already ruined every proposal idea so far. He gets so excited/nervous.
kittymack
We were both high on coke & drunk on new years eve & decided yeah we are going to get married. We then got married 6mnths later!
kittymack
We've decided to leave that part out when our children ask. It'll be more "we mutually decided to get married there was no proposal"
VaguelySatisfying
My parents give me the same story and were 70s children. I'm so suspicious now....
Internet101
my parents always say "we mutually decided to get married there was no proposal"... now you have me thinking that my parents did coke
TheWeirdestBoner
Mine too. But they admitted they were wasted and made me and my sister on accident, so it's likely they'd have told me the truth.
kittymack
Hahaha you never know ;) we definitely don't do drugs anymore. We've been married 4 years and I've been sober the last 3!
itsybitsyspider
had a couple going in for a Paternity case in court. They were going to decide custody and support for their kid. They had attorneys --
itsybitsyspider
-- and everything. Suddenly the attorneys walked in and said, "They're going to get married."
OrangeCarrot
Were you there when they decided to get divorced? That story sounds weird without the background information that you probably don't have
itsybitsyspider
It wasn't a divorce. It was a paternity. They were coming in for a hearing. Paternity is different from divorce. It's an unmarried couple --
OrangeCarrot
I understood that they weren't there for a divorce. I was making a (bad) joke about their marriage not lasting under those weird conditions
itsybitsyspider
-- who had a child together and can't get along anymore basically
OrangeCarrot
Q: Would a boy&girlfriend normally go to court for a paternity hearing if they weren't having a dispute or were still together?

"This is so you don't miss me too much. We will get married when I'm back." She didn't respond. 35 years and 2 kids later, still married /2

Second trip? You mean the walk of shame?
