While walking home from The Anglers Rest after one too many.
She stopped me and asked me to marry her. It wasn't the most romantic scenario ever, but I readily agreed.
We had drunken sex when we got back home.

It wasn't so much the proposal that got me my wife, more a confirmation email from www.thaibrides.com

Unfortunately this was the only purchase I ever made where I didn't want 10% extra free but I got it.....and it was bigger than mine

Didn't even give 'her' one for the road, just sent her back and gave the seller 1 star on the website....

Learned my lesson about buying online, she must have been doing a 'Buffalo Bill' in the pictures :mad:

new years morning this year I knew I was popping the question.
she was making tea, and I got such a not in my stomach, I couldn't stand.
I called her to our bedroom, asked her to sit down beside me, rambled something, then got on one knee, took the ring out of my top pocket and asked her to marry me.
Getting married Easter Monday next year

So, how did you meet? (nsfw language)

Sleepy

She walked behind me while I was searching engagement rings on-line, thought she'd caught me so ended up proposing with the line "crap, suppose you better help me pick the ring so!".

She hadn't noticed my screen at all...

Just finished a race in Hawaii, met her at finish line, where she had unknowingly being carrying the ring all day in her bag. Got ring, got down on one knee, spouted the Hollywood lines, opened the box, dropped the ring D'oH!!

She said 'I don't think you're ever going to ask me to marry you' so in a huff, I said 'Fine, I will. Will you marry me?'

True story.

The Draugan

I recreated the first day we met , drinks in our old college bar with the same people that were there (a shared group of mates) , a walk up to Grafton street to see the Christmas lights (brought her there the first time because she'd never seen them before), asked if she fancied going cinema the following day as we wandered around by Stevens green as i had 4 years earlier , popped the question with a Swarovski crystal promise ring outside Buswells across from Leinster house , where we first kissed. She hadn't copped much to my surprise until i actual had the ring out on one knee the lot.

Called our folks to tell them from the same bench in Trinity we had gone after for a shifting sesh , then back to Church on the bottom of Henry street (we had gone to McDonalds there the first time round but figured that wasn't quite fitting for the occasion :P The following day we skipped out on the cinema and went to buy a big fcuk off diamond instead hahahahahaha

I was curled in a ball in bed, feeling all sick and everything, I was just ranting about something absolutely unimportant, unshowered, Hair wasn't brushed when he came over and popped the question. I had to sit up first to even react on that. Proposed with a token ring of mine that he just took. He da best.

Up the side of a hill in bonnie bonnie Scotland.
Had been looking at rings for an entire fortnight before the planned weekend, left to go abroad for work, the week beforehand and left my ipad at home. She asked to use it and I said she couldn't (I had about a dozen Chrome tabs with prices to wiki definitions of Colour, Cut , Clarity and whatever the last C is!), gave her an incorrect PIN so it locked. She thought I was cheating on her!

I've never felt a wave of nerves like I did before I popped the question. She told me "shut up, get up, your lying". I wasn't. She said Yes.

The phonecall home to our parents was one of the best things I've ever done. We're going back to that spot again soon enough.

Asked at the Leonidaion at Olympia. It wasnt a surprise or anything special but i got down on 1 knee while some auld dear a few 100ft away cheared.

Edit: I had actually laid the groundwork about 2 months prior to this when I called her to tell her a hotel near us had a special offer on weddings

I had a day planned for her as well, Went to "work" ( secretly went for a hot towel shave and picked up my suit) and had her cousins and my brother show up to mind the kids as it was during the summer holidays.

9am - Flowers delivered with a card saying be ready for 10 to be picked up.
10am - Limo shows up with a card and voucher for Dundrum to go buy something nice as we're going somewhere nice for dinner and instructions to be ready at the drop off point for 2.30 for the next bit of the day.
2.30pm - Limo picks her up and brings her to the Church pub on Henry street, where we first met and I have the staff all in on it and they are going to bring us upstairs for a nice lunch. We get up the stairs and there is a bookstand there with a scrapbook with sketchings from a very talented friend of mine detailing our life together to date (graduation, kids, pretty eventful ) and passages of text telling her why I wanted to marry her because I knew if I was to try and say it all, I'd either mess it up, forget half the stuff or make a terrible joke. When she turned around, I was one one knee.

...And she said No! :eek:

Said yes 5 seconds later laughing but scared the crap out of me!

Staff came up with champagne, had a nice feed with all the women in the place coming over for a look at the ring.

Get a call around 3.30 from the photographer saying "I'm in position" so I have to go back out and pose in the glass tower at the Church again

Then her Dad picked us up, brought us to powerscourt and we had dinner and an executive suite with this incredible platter they had in the room with "Congratulations" spelt out on it.

A year's work or so but totally worth it

I had to get out a bi-lingual dictionary as she misunderstood and thought I was telling her she should go home to her country!

I'm still waiting on her to propose to me. If she likes it then she should put a ring on it.

huge elaborate plan

fair play. How you had the patience for all that I don't know.
Once I had the engagement ring got it was all I could do to not ask her. It took a month of will power an inner strength. I'd never have planned anything due to that

IrishZeus

So... do ya fancy being buried with our lot?

Winterlong

No way am I posting how I proposed after that!

looseliver

Spelled out 'Will you marry me' in chips...

In the highly unlikely event of me being proposed to I would like it to be in a very simple manner. Sitting on the couch with a coffee just chatting away and then a quiet "will you marry me".
No fuss or event.

Would there not be a risk of a misunderstanding though - if they mumble it?

You and the OH sitting by the fire and he mumbles 'Will you scratch me back'...but you misheard and start jumping up and down saying 'yes yes yes'.
Awkward like.

After she was to come home on Sunday afternoon following an early shift in the hospital, I planned to take her to Howth pier to propose. Unfortunately, she accidentally took my keys to work with her, leaving me locked tight into a small flat with bars over the windows for the morning. I rang her at work on my brick of a mobile phone to be told "you're not meant to ring me at work" and "I didn't take your keys. " She arrived home after one, all apologetic with my keys.

I still took her to Howth and asked her on the pier, the wind blowing strands of her beautiful golden hair across her face. We retired to a pub afterwards where she sat in a daze with a drink in her hand, while I watched Man United beat west Ham 4-2. Get in!

A long, long time ago, we were in a third class carriage of a train rattling into Varanasi, and I asked him would he marry me.

I could talk about the time I bought her a hoover for mothers day if you want examples of how NOT to keep the missus happy

Not going to lie, it was really difficult. I had the ring almost 3 months before I popped the question. Believe it or not, the trickiest part of the whole day was arranging the babysitters!
