For the married folks out there

[Gunnybusa]

OK VB and baby I meet my wife in Norway while I was on det. We hung out together every day for the two months I was there. At the end of the det I asked her to come and see me in the states sher went striaght to the travel agency and bought a ticket for the same flight I was flying home on. We asked the guy sitting next to me if they could switch seats and they did. I asked her to marry me on that flight , I think it was flight 815 or something like that

No for real I asked her on the plane and she said yes after knowing each other for onlt 2 months. That was 15 years ago in sept, I got married on a payday so I wouldnt forget gota keep it simple for a jar head.

I rented a Cessna 172 out of Essex County Airport NJ. I asked the pilot to fly over the George Washington Bridge. When we approached the GW I popped the question, and of course she didn't have a choice, because we were 3,000 ft in the air. True story

Sunrise, on her birthday. I took her out to a little place on a cliff, overlooking the beach.

Took her hand, slipped a ring on and asked her to promise me only one thing: To take care of my heart.

of course, it's been downhill ever since.

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.

That's a great story!  

Now that is a great woman. I took my wife to eat at her favorite resturant in town. We ate and everything just as usual and when we were getting ready to leave I stopped her by where the hostess is waiting to seat you and asked her in front of everyone. Total shock it was great.

 

[Schism]

pathetic but here it goes. i was working 3rd shift at a hotel making piss for money and i usually leave the house around 10:30pm. i couldn't wait to ask her the next day at the top of some mountain so i woke her up and proposed to her in her pj's. she has terrible vision so she tried looking at the ring from 2" from her face. my wife was amazed that i picked the ring out myself and got the right size as well. 3 years and going strong. now we will be expecting a little sh@t by may 06.

We were naked in the hot tub. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

That was 11 years ago.

I'm sure that cliff is still there...

I always heard that hitting rock bottom can be good for a relationship after picking up the pieces and moving on. Never really understood that philosophy but I think it might apply in this case.

 

[Hard On Parts]

Right after a quickie during her lunch hour while sitting on the floor of the bedroom I said, "Why don't we just get married?" "We have been jumping in and out of each other beds for over 5 years now."


I know, romantic ####### ain't I...still married to her though

hmm...never thought about jumping off that cliff. Sounds interesting. I'm sure it would hurt, though...

 

[BusaWhipped]

I practically had to beg the woman.  The first time I asked her, we had just moved into our house and were unpacking.  She laughed at me.  The second time I asked, she told me she wasn't sure.  The third time, she finally said yes.  That was 16 years ago.

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...

I have gotta tell my wife!!!
We've been together 24 years...married for 15.

My proposal was nothing real fancy.
I had been gone for a week or two, in California working for a mining company.
Came back to see her out in front of her apartment complex getting some instruction on her golf swing from a dude that lived next door..........I decided then and there that if anyone was going to teach that hot little blonde how to golf...it'd be me.

No more than an hour later, I was down on one knee asking the question.
She is one VERY patient lady!

My divorce story is way more interesting.

 

[TruWrecks]

I didn't do anything fancy.

I had a custom ring made.  It was a heart with a 1/4 carat diamond in it.  I had the jewler put it in a nice jewelry bow, and wrap it up like a present.  I took it home after workand gave her the box.  She liked the jewelry box, then she opened the lid and almost went into shock.  I got down to one knee and asked her to be mine forever.

We got married on a sternwheeler.  We had our wedding party wearing 1860's attire.  Fiona made her dress by herself.

Here's her handy work!

Having known my wife to be for a few years, I was in the States (Florida) learning to fly. I decided there and then that she was the woman for me.

That same day, I decided to get back to the UK as quick as possible, went and bought a ring and jumped on the first plane back to London.

Got back to the UK, and figured I'd go round when she got home from work, only to get a call from a friend to say that she'd put her back out and was already at home in bed.

I jumped in the car and shot round there as quick as humanly possible. With Sarah in bed, with her hair in a mess and looking a bit worse for wear (thats what she said afterwards, I hadn't noticed), I got down on one knee and proposed.

That was in 1994, its been 11 years.

Well how I proposed to jenn. I had my wizeguy and his wife go along with a "vacation" to mexico beach. Got a little beach house from a mutual friend and I had taken the ring with me. Get down there and settle in. I had planned on Aug 20 to ask her on the pier at sunrise. (day she and I started dating in high school) However on the 19th we went out on the pier and it smelled like bad beer and fish. So I axed that idea. Wizeguy and I had just finished some lethal weapons while playing Star Wars miniatures and I went to bed. Jenn and I had a biiig discussion one of our nightly talks and she said something marriage and I said well will you? I had to ask 2 times before she responded from the deer in headlights look. I then had to ask her to release me from the choke hold. LOL She didn't even care about the ring! Then choked me more when she saw it. I am going to have to get the picture that night scanned. She is wearing my trogdor shirt and I am 1/2

It just sounds like it went smoothly! I had the ring for 4 months, she almost caught me at least once a week. I eventually hid the ring in my server so she wouldn't find it.

We had been dating for 4 yrs, then off for 5 (remained friends), then back on for 5 months by then.

 

[slpstream]

we had been dating for about 6 years living together for about a year, was out rollerblading ( did it every evening) I thought she was going to roll out into traffic and said " hey I'm not your beneficiary!" then she said "Are you proposing" I says "I guess I am." That was 1996, but been together since 90, seems like only a coupla years ago.

This is pretty pathetic compared to some others, but here goes...

Those that were in the military will understand

We had been together for about 1 year, and I was getting ready to go back out to sea (Navy). As we sat in our apartment, I said something about...

"Well, if we go ahead and get married, then we can get on the waiting list for housing before I deploy." We had Justice of the Peace wedding with a really nice dinner afterwards, and the next day we got on the housing wait list.

We will have been together for 18 years next month

How much longer until I'm eligible for parole

After being together on and off for a little over a year I asked her to move in with me. So she does and along with her comes all her stuff, and I mean stuff. You woman can pack it. My perfect bachelor pad was taken over from the milk crate tables to the Papa John Pizza box collection on the kitchen/poker/foldable table. So I figured, what the heck. She seems pretty cool and she puts up with me, so while watching the Jungle Book (yes the cartoon one) I started looking around at myself and the house then I looked over at her and said, You took over my house, you took over my bachelor life, you took over the way I was acting when I was single, why not take over my heart forever too, you might as well marry marry me. After she got done crying I ran upstairs and grabbed my grandmothers engagment ring and slipped it on her hand. She still gets teary eyed when my daughter watches the jungle book and she always gives me that little smirk and wink.

That was 8 years ago and two kids later. Im shocked she is still here, Crazy woman never figured out I was just kidding that night....
