Hey fellas, when you asked your lady to marry you did she say, "Yes." I don't mean did she accept, but did she actually verbalize the word "yes" when you were done saying "Will you marry me?" I've heard a lot of stories about when it is a surprise the woman will do a lot of hugging and kissing and crying and such, but often forget to say the word, "yes."
Ladies, did you know it was coming? Did you say the word, "Yes."
sac
OMG YES!!!!!!
that's what i said :)
i had no idea it was coming....
it was a weekend full of surprises already...

Was it a surprise or had you talked about it a lot beforehand?

Way cool. I took my lady to a small town north of Frankfurt where here parents lived in the 60s. Proposed at the Cathedral that dominates the background of many of the pictures they have from back then. Found it by complete luck the first night we were there. And she did not say "yes." Neither did my friend Shelly when her husband asked her (took her to Australia). Don't you women get that we take you on these trips, not to be romantic, but so that you can't run away? [cheeky]
I imagine that if some one asked me to marry them in the middle of a blizzard my response would have been, "Maybe, ask again in Aruba."

Awwwww!!!!!!
*sniffle* so romantic
now that i think about popping the question....
that's a lot of pressure to come up with something notable...
a friend of mine told me one day that her boyfriend offered her a dresser drawer at his apt.
she asked me what she should do... i said she should hold out for the entire dresser...
a couple months later, he proposed to her in a field, with torches that lead the way to a dinner for two with all the fixin's
the ring was on the dresser he also had set up in the field.
technically I never actually asked [laugh]

same here. I make jokes about it all the time. She doesn't like that ;D
I apparently wasn't romantic enough to ask her to marry me
I said, "Seriously?" I thought he was joking.
Then I said yes.
I can't remember if I actually said "yes" or not. We were playing Scrabble and he arranged the tiles to say, "Will you marry me" when I got up from our game to use the bathroom...when I got back I didn't even notice it at first, then I accused him of cheating, then I realized that he was serious when he got one one knee, then I really knew he was serious when I actually saw the ring. I think I just cried. The coolest part was we got chinese that night and both fortune cookies had the same fortune in them...."You and your wife will live a happy life together"!!!

Everyone who has gotten over the bitterness of not getting laid in highschool?
Your parents?
People who can see the good in one another?
People who have gotten over their mommy issues?
People who realize that they can better themselves with the constant support of another?
People who aren't selfish 100% of the time?
People who have a thought about the opposite sex that doesn't actually involve sex every now and again?
Probably some other folks too.

people wanting citizenship
good digging whores who will drain your bank account
celebs looking for publicity
and people who kinda love each other

we're not unless something changes.
if she's lying to me about something that's so important to her, then do i really want to marry her? what else will she hide from me/lie to me about?
besides, if i get married then that shuts down all the possible treaties with other nations. i have to stay single for my country ;D
I proposed at our sports car clubs annual awards dinner.
I had the club prez announce that I was going to give a special award, and got down on one knee, holding out the ring, and asked her to marry me in front of about 150 sports car nuts and autocross drivers.
[popcorn] [popcorn] [popcorn]
She said yes.
I made a huge tail on a parachute kite with the big question on it... took me 20 minutes of running due to the lack of wind to get it in the air. she burst out crying and said yes. so romantic.
we divorced 6 years later. [bang]
[wine] [clap]
my wife and I planned our first kid before we planned our marriage. we were both so excited about having a wee one that we forgot about the marriage bit. one night my wife said, "... hmm.... having a kid- ya think we should get married?"
...
"sure, we could do that."
to this day I tell our kids that their mother was very progressive and popped the question on me instead of the other way around.
no need to overthink the whole thing imho. ;D

13 years ago, I looked on the calendar and saw that I had a week off in July. She said, "That's the week of my ex's birthday." We decided it would be funny if we got married. It was all just for the joke. I don't think we even spent $1,000 on the wedding.
That, my friends, is the way to do it.

It may be awhile before you have anywhere to "go" there, Sweetheart . . . I'm going to have a tough time shaking that mental imagery. :P
it sounds like it's going to take him awhile to get to where he's going anyhow.

I proposed in the ER after I flipped a car that we were in. I've found that if you put women in life threatening situations, their desire to mate and prolong the species generally overrides logic. 8)
I was welding a muffler on her car. and asked her while sitting on my butt.
she asked "seriously?" i said yes she asked if she could think about it. took her 4 weeks to answer me. isn't love grand?
been maried 18 years
I got a yes after much shock and surprise on my now fiancée's part. I had asked her parents beforehand, bought the ring and managed to keep everything quiet until the ball dropped to ring in New Year's day 2008. The ball dropped, she said "well now what" and I responded "I know what" and dropped to my knee & proposed ~

My husband proposed under a double rainbow at a minor league baseball game we were attending. We had talked about it, but he'd never asked. It was definitely spur of the moment; the conversation went like this:
Me - I bet we'll see a rainbow since the sun came out...(after a big rainstorm and just as a rain delay ended at the baseball game)
Me - wow, look a rainbow! I called it!!
Him - yeah, it's beautiful - almost 3D
Me - I bet we'll see a double rainbow. I think it's a "sign".
Him - you think it's a sign? How do you figure?
Me - yeah, i think it's a sign...of what I don't know. but it's a sign I think.
Him - we'll see...
Me - (after 2 minutes) holly crap! A double rainbow, the 2nd one is just as vibrant as the first. I told you, it's a sign!!!
Him - you know, you're right, it is a sign - that we should get married.
And he turned and asked the question in front of about 8 people that we sit with. I at first said "you're kidding right?", but he said no, and proposed again....I immediately said yes!
We got married October 2007 and we'll be married a year this October. I love him dearly - everything I should have had in my FIRST husband, but was too dumb to ask. :) [wine]

I flew down to Guatemala where my now ex-wife was on the last stop of a several week work trip through Central America. And sick as a dog from something she picked up in El Salvador. I proposed in front of a cheery fire in our beautiful, rustic room at the Hotel Maya in the little mountain market town of Chichicastenango (which I later learned is how the conquistadors transliterated the native Mayan name for "City of Nettles." Wish I'd known...)
If I remember correctly, her answer was something like "Um, yeah, but could you ask me again when I'm not about to throw up?" Which I did a week or so later.
