A man somewhere used a crossword to ask his girlfriend to marry him. He had to plan this in advance, arrange with the paper and all that junk, so it obviously took some time and thought to pull this off.
When my husband and I decided to get married it went down like this :
“Well. Should we?”
“Eh. Might as well”
Then he went back to watching his cartoons and I continued to chat on ICQ.
Top our overwhelming romance in teh comments please!

brother - we could get engaged or go to sleep
sil - engaged I guess
brother - here’s the ring.

Yup, I proposed. Romantic, huh? 20 years later…

I wanted a new TV. Miss Nobody jokingly told me I should buy her a ring instead. So I did. We’ve been married over 11 years now.

Okay serious answer this time…
Before Mrs. Angry I had a very close friend, we loved each other dearly and were inseparable. After being together about 18 months, during which time we had not had sex (we were both sexually active before getting together), she proposed to me. Long story short, I declined.
She remains my closest friend after 35 years. How different things would be now if I had have accepted her proposal.

I don’t have one a story either. My ex-boy gave me a ring, but he also got a ring from my best friend. It was too fucked up to be romantic.
Hey - you two are still together and have 3 kids. I think that’s pretty darn romantic.

Me: I’m pregnant. But you can leave. I don’t want you to be obligated.
Him: Can you spell my last name?
Me: yep. Why?
Him: Cuz you’ll be writing it forever.
27 years ago.

Mine to you know who was pretty sad to say the least. It was a “Well, here ya go.” and ring was handed to me. Yep, stayed that way for 4 years. Took me being 7 months pregnant to get dumped. Rock on!!
So…I skipped out on my date last night. Nice eh? Yeah, I was out of the mood. Who could “Intertain” me more that this sweet baby girl?

Five days after we met I asked him, “You know where this is going, don’t you?” And he said “Yeah, we’re gonna get married.”
I got the real down-on-one-knee proposal about 5 weeks later.
