Mike walked in to Reed's Jewelers to buy himself a watch...now, I always loved looking at jewelry and he'd bought me plenty of the years, but this was the first time he'd ever told me the following as he "watch shopped"...

"...go pick out something for yourself..."

So, I'm over looking at bracelets and necklaces thinking "this isn't the usual Mike I know"

then he heads over to me and pulls me toward the diamond engagement rings...he tells me "I was thinking more along the lines of something like this" as we looked down on all those diamonds...

A little while later, I'd picked a ring and he officially proposed when we got to my car...followed by "stringing the b*tch along" for a YEARS...been together for 21 years; married for 12 of those years...

My wife (then Girlfriend from Highschool) were having a rather heated argument. I got pissed off... Jumped in the car... drove an hour in a blizzard to my Aunt's house to pick up a family Heirloom wedding ring... Drove all the way back... Got home and said if you are going to be this much of a pain in the ass I might as well marry you! She is the best woman I have ever met... She puts up with all my crap! We have been togther since 1988 and only got married last year. Couldn't see myself with anyone else.

I proposed to my wife when I was 19, she was a couple of weeks shy of 18. We had known each other on and off from elementary school, but had been dating fro about 9 mos when I asked her. It should be noted that I had been deployed for 7 of those 9 mos... Anyway, I was a LCPL (E3) and found out I was going to be promoted, so I went out and bought a ring (I knew her size, becuase she used to slip her jewlery on my pinky, just to be cute) anyway, I took her to a park, it was around sunset on the 4th of Nov., we were feeding ducks, when I asked her. She promtly told me I was out of my mind and rejected the proposal. The rest of the night was somewhat of a blur, but I do remember that it went south, quickly. Just after her birthday (18) we were discussing my proposal and she mentioned that she shouldn't have rejected me - I should ask her again. I refused on the basis of not wanting to relive that humiliation, and I told her that if she wanted to marry me, she had better ask me soon, because I was deploying again and I was sure that I would get to the Philipines, Thailand, or (with any luck) both. She took me out to dinner and asked me, she already had the ring, since I refused to take it back. She gave me a gold band and we set the date for Dec 23. We were married by the JOP, but I should note that our mariage was sidlined by 90210 and Melrose Place - I had to wait for both shows to end before we could drive downtown....in Vegas. We celebrate our 13th anniversary this year. Not sure if this helps...

I heard you dad helped him proposed by putting a shotgun in his back.

...had to wait for 90210 and Melrose Place to end...

That's classic...

I saw the wedding pic's around here some where.

I was/am notorious for buying my (now) wife flowers, maybe once every few weeks. She always drys them and either flattens them in a scrap book or she leaves them in a vase... has a classical look most of the time. I don't know, it's kind of cool. Anyway...

I normally stay clear of roses as I think they are a bit cliche. So out of the blue I bought her a single white rose with red veins. It was pretty enough though the largest rose I had ever seen. What do I know I'm a guy. It'll do. So I give it to her and over the next several days it blooms.

A few more days go by and I come home and the rose is upside down being dried. I'm a little shocked because what I had planned was for her to find the ring I had planted in the bud so that when it bloomed she'd find it. No ring in the rose or on the ground -anywhere-. I'm frantically looking, panicked about how to approach her without losing the shock value, and hoping I didn't just lose my late grandmother's wedding ring. I call her name and decide I've got to let a little out of the bag and find the ring.

She walks in and says, "yes". Still looking around, I ask her to sit down for a few and tell her I need to talk to her (hoping to throw her off). She says, "yes". I look up and she's in tears and holding her hand up with the ring on.

Once she got herself together we had another laugh to top it all off. The owner of the shop I bought the flower from asked, as I was paying, if I was "trying to get out of trouble" with the flower. I told her, "no, I'm trying to get into trouble and stay there". She looked at me funny as I walked out. I think she understood everything a few months later when we placed the order for the wedding.

That's a great one too HT...

Romantics!!! I had no idea you Busa riders had it in you...

 

[VaBusa]

Carrie - if and when this guy Paul (he he) proposes, do you want a big wedding?

Mike and I flew to Miami, rented a convertible and drove to Key West...married at sunset on the Miss Key West with tourists all around...beautiful setting there in the Gulf, sun going down...Captain Bill tying the old knot...sometimes wished I taken him up on the offer of "doing a pirate voice" though...

I wouldn't trade it for the world...no stress, no worries...then hit Duval Street and have some fun!

 

[BaybeBusa04]

I have to say that I want my "princess" wedding!
I would probably spend more on the reception though. Thats where all the fun is!
*IF* he ask's me, we probably wont do it in a church, but my God father (who is a pastor) wants to marry us.
I do want the big dress though...and lots of pictures at sunset! I've had this thing planned out since I was like 5. I mean even down to the songs I want played at the reception!
I think the funniest thing is, the day Paul and I finally started dating, we joked about our reception and how awesome it would be. Now I just have to wait.

 

[VaBusa]

If Paul is reading this, we may all be in trouble for instigating...

 

[BaybeBusa04]

LOL...naw you know how quiet he is!

My wife and I had been dating for about a month and had briefly talked about marriage. Then one Sunday afternoon after Sunday dinner with her family I had a box of chocolates (what woman doesn't like chocolate) I had already opened it and took one out and placed the ring in the box. I was holding the box and asked if she wanted one to come and get one. She sat in my lap and I opened the box. I never did actually say the words, but that was over 10 years ago.
