Answer 1

I'm not married, but my aunt (Kelly) and uncle (David) kinda have one.

David worked at a pool as a life guard and Kelly babysat these two kids in the summer, and brought them to the pool allot, so he saw her and decided he wanted to go out with her, but life guards aren't allowed to talk to people unless they have to. So he left a note on her car to tell her he wanted to meet her. He said that if she was interested, to go to lost&found and tell them she lost a blue towel. If you loose something, you leave their number for if it's found. She did, they went out, and ended up together.

Jump forward about ten years. He takes her to dinner, gets down on one knee, and pulls out a blue towel to propose.

... I swear, it's funnier when they tell it.

Answer 2

My boyfriend had planned a surprise weekend for us in February. I didn't think anything of it because we always did something "surprising" in February. He stopped to pick me up after work and was late so I was a little annoyed (he was at my parents "asking for my hand"). We take off and don't get a mile from my house because of a freak ice storm. We sat in traffic for at least an hour and I kept suggesting that we turn around but he was h**l bent on getting there. I couldn't figure out why he was willing to wreck the car and possibly get us injured just to go to a cabin! Later that night he proposed in the kitchen while we were heating up pizza. I found out that he had rented a secluded cabin in the woods and had gone done earlier that day and put out rose petals, a stuffed monkey (another story) and a mixed CD set to play our song (he had a remote) when he proposed!

Answer 3

My husband, me and his mom all went christmas shopping and he went off to get me a christmas present while me and his mother continued shopping.  We had gotten his grandmother a gift and he had the bag with him.  When he returned he had no bag.  I asked him if he had taken his grandmother's gift to the car and he said no.  He then realized he had left it at the jewelery store.  I asked him what store he had been in (not thinking it was a jewelery store) and he would not tell me.  I kept saying that I would not know what he got me if we went back to the store.  He went by himself and came back again with no bag.  I was so mad at him for leaving it and not telling me where he left it.  On our way out of the mall he dropped the ring papers on the ground in front of me.  I didn't see what it was because he pushed me out of the way so he could step on them so I would not see.  This made me even more mad.  We had to buy his grandmother a new gift and now he is pushing me.  On the way home I cooled off a little and when we got back to the house I asked him to help me wrap gifts.  I waited in our room (we lived with his parents at the time because we were waiting on our house to be finished) and he never came.  I went downstairs to ask him if he was going to help me and he was digging in his mother's purse (for the ring) and acting really strange.  He finally came upstairs and said he wanted to talk to me.  He said "I hope this makes up for my behavior tonight" and then he handed me the ring and asked me to marry him.  I was so excited I gave him a big hug and kiss and I accidentally stepped on his foot (he had a bad ingrown toenail that was pretty painful).  He sat down on the edge of the bed in pain and I kneeled in front of him to make sure he was ok.  Once we stopped laughing I looked up at him and said "I thought you were supposed to be the one down on one knee".  That just made us laugh even more.  That was our engagement story.  I know it wasn't very romantic but I will always remember it.

Answer 4

OK, my engagement story always cracks people up.  

My hubby and I had been out shopping for a car for me.  We had been dating only a short time, weren't living together or anything.  As we're driving down the road, on our way back to my apartment, he asked me (while still driving)

"When do you want to go get your ring?"

I sat there a second, and said,

"What ring?"

Then, he said (in a very cocky voice)

"Oh, you mean I don't have to get you a diamond ring?  Sweet!"

Bear in mind, we're STILL driving here, he hasn't pulled over or anything.

I digest this for a minute or two (he's still driving) and then look over at him and ask

"Did you just ask me to marry you?"

And he says (even more cocky if such a thing was humanly possible)

"What do YOU think I asked?"  

He looks over at me (still driving) and grins....

We celebrated our 20th anniversary in January.  And no, he still has not "officially" asked me to marry him.  Maybe for our 50th anniversary, but I'm certainly not holding my breath.
