Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How did you propose to your wife?

Reading the Graduation Day thread got me to thinking about attending my now wife's graduation. The college my wife (and I before her) graduated from does not hand out your actual diploma when you walk across the stage, just the diploma holder. They mail the diploma to you after the ceremony. I worked it out with the college and surprised my wife with a marriage proposal in her diploma holder. She said yes. That was a little over 25 years ago. How did you propose to your wife?

Get in the truck

And then on the lower end of the social scale. She said, " A ring...or I'm outta here". So I manned up and said, "Ok, whatever".

Privately, and I was thrilled when she said yes.

My wife told me we are getting married..... I said ok

Didn't propose.
Both of us just figured we were at that point, at the same time.
Pretty laid back about it.

I'm still waiting for a better deal though.

while holding a positive pregnancy test she just handed me

I didn't. We had been living together for a couple of years after meeting in university and she suggested we get married. We did over 32 years ago.

I begged!!!

I turned around at the urinal.

She had spent close to a year trying to get me to move in with her and I just didn't want to live together before marriage. She was also wondering why I had spent so much time in Israel. So I took her to Jerusalem, showed her the country and proposed in front of the Temple Mount.

I had a job offer in another state, that meant being away for at least a year. Was sitting in my truck at Sonic eating a hamburger when she saw me and stopped. Told her about the job and proposed, she said yes and 6 weeks later we got hitched. 41 years ago.

With us,..it was more or less an affirmation that she was sure that it was what she wanted. She had made her intentions known. I had already been through one marriage. She hadn't. So,..from my perspective, it was more or less just making sure she knew what it was.

It's been 20+ years. The situation is much more regular these days.

Coolio dude!

I licked my eyebrows

Witch one?

Both

After living together for a while, knowing her for 3-4 years before that I went to the Post Office to pick up the mail.

She had a few items along with mine.

It was near to Valentine's day, I like candy and therefor had a box of Sweethearts laying on the seat. Knowing there were "Marry Me" candies in there, I got one out, worked one in through the corner of one of her pieces of mail, and left her mail where I normally did.

Still one of the most unique methods I have heard of.

I didn't she asked me

Never really asked her to "marry me". I was a bit more unconventional . . . I asked her if she would "darn my socks" for a long time. 44 years ago Dec 17th, 1975 this was, after dating for 3 weeks. Married less than 7 months later. We are still going.
