There is always a penny in the bottom of the washing machine!!

I've heard of some scavenger hunts for the ring too.

I was having sex when he asked me....I checked afterwards to make sure he was not just delirious from sex but nope he meant it. Been 18 years but hey I'm easily impressed. I love you stay with me forever works.

I took my wife back to the place we met on the one year anniversary of the day we met....I told he to close her eyes as I had a surprise for her (she thought it was something related to the night before we met) and when she opened her eyes, she began to cry, I was down on one knee on a public street with the ring out....I assumed when she grabbed the ring and stuck it on her finger that it was a yes - 7 years of wedded bliss next month....

I have yet to propose but I have been in a few proposals for some of my fraternity brothers. The last one that I was in my brother took his now wife to a restaurant knowing that their would be a wait because it was a first come first serve. We were all milling around out of site when they went in to get on the list when they came back out to wait to be called he gave a signal and we all came up behind him and we and him all started to serenade her during the song we all go down to one knee during this time he produced the ring and popped the question. Needless to say there was much tears and happy rejoicing when it was all done. They have been married for three years now.

I have never done it, but I had a few friends who have.

One totoally botched it up and asked while she was doing his laundry.....he still got a yes, but it will go down in history as a bad move.

The other was about 2 years ago and was a co-worker of mine. He'd been dating his G/f for 2 1/2 years and for the life of him could not figure out how to propose. So we were sitting at dinner and he asked me for ideas. So I just asked him to explain her for me. Which he did and procceeded to say "there is no place on earth thats special enough for me to ask her".....so I suggested he didn't ask on earth.

2 months later they were on a plane to Hawaii for summer break for a much needed 2 week holiday. Before getting on the plane he had to "go to the bathroom" at which time he spoke with the stewardist who was more then happy to help him.

At 12,000 feet once the plane had leveled off he got up again to use the restroom and procceeded tot he front of the cabin where he took the loudspeaker mike and explained that "There is no place on earth special enough for me to ask you this, so this is the closest I could get you to heaven".

Now that^^^ get's the *Awwwwwwwww* award.

Sounds like you Americans place far more emphasis on this kind of thing than we Brits do.

I've been engaged twice and the first time it was something we'd talked about for ages and just knew it was going to happen. We went to choose the ring together and got the jeweller to put it aside for us while he saved up for it. It eventually went on my finger on News Years Eve 1999. He asked me 'officially' that night too, but forgot to go down on one knee.

After that relationship didn't work out I was totally off the idea of marriage so I wasn't expecting Fussy to ask me anytime soon. Then some friends got engaged and it got me thinking about marriage, kids etc and I realised that all of our talk about getting married 'some day' was going to have to be sooner than I thought, since I'm not 18 anymore! I e-mailed him with my thoughts and for three days we kept joking about it until, walking around the supermarket, we finally convinced each other we were both serious. We sealed the deal with a Haribo jelly ring from a packet of Starmix and then chose a real ring that weekend. Even in the shop I kept saying 'Are you sure about this?'. He bought the ring and I haven't stopped admiring it yet, over a year later! LOL
