How did you propose?

ds, we'll get two council houses with spare bedrooms'
In short I'd got the jitters about where our relationship was going, she wanted kids, I wasn't so sure and didn't really know what I wanted. We had a massive bust up on the last night of a dream holiday campervan touring New Zealand, pretty much looked like we'd be flying home the following morning having split up. Realised what I was chucking away through the night (I didn't sleep) and proposed in the morning. No ring or anything else like that prepared, we went and had a massive breakfast in a nice diner type place.
A few weeks later we went for a trip to the Jewellery Quarter (Birmingham) and got a ring, went for a nice meal that evening as an official engagement celebration. Married 9 months later. Two kids and 8 years of marriage later no idea what I was worried about
So yeah don't waste your money, just have an argument

I have already had the ring made by Nightmare (PH'er). Picked it up last weekend. Lovely thing it is too.I got the eternity ring he'd been doing for us too - awesome work. She loved it when I surprised her with that on our anniversary.
I rented this cottage.... proposed on the roof, at sunset.

The plan was on a beach whilst watching the sun set in Cape Verde on her 30th birthday, I could picture it all in my head and it seemed perfect.
But we had a bit to drink in the day and fell asleep so by the time we'd woke up it was starting to set, made a excuse to drag her down to the beach in a hurry but we'd missed it so I waited till we got back to our room and hopped down on one knee.
The thought was there at least

In freezing cold Paris at Christmas 2007, in the gardens of the Eiffel Tower as the lights came on at 7pm...except the train was late and the lights had done their thing by the time we got there.
I was already stressed and this really pissed me off!
But she said yes, and 10 years later we still laugh at the "huffiest" proposal ever.

Thanks. Did you go and pick it up?I got the eternity ring he'd been doing for us too - awesome work. She loved it when I surprised her with that on our anniversary.
Good stuff.
In a strip club (she wasn't an employee) on my birthday night out. I'd arranged for the dancer to hand me the ring half way through her routine and I proposed.
My (now) wife had told me that there was no way I'd be able to surprise her with the the proposal so I had to prove her wrong.

We'd been living together for a few years and it was just a case of do you think we should get married.
So we did in Langholme (think Gretna Green but not so council!) and 30 ish years later are still happy.
Few months ago I was talking to a girl (well she is in her mid 50s) I work with about our sons wedding at the beginning of July.
She had always said that her and her partner didn't want to get married as the had both been married before and were happy as they are.
She then says that they are getting married.
He went into town to book their annual skiing trip in January 2018 and came home and said 'Right I've booked the honeymoon it's down to you to sort out the wedding!'
She did say she was very happy about it.
