iano Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 For those married out there, how did you pop the question (or how was the question popped to you)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennett Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) We went for a romantic walk along the cliffs in Cornwall, with a bottle of champers hidden in my bag. Planned to watch the sunset but then realised we were on the wrong coast!! So proposed any way and then sat on the beach and watched a very very pretty moonrise instead Edited February 19, 2017 by kennett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord v Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Similar to the above; went for a walk along the beach... It maybe slightly cliché but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyska Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 I'd bought the ring weeks before, never found the opportunity, I just randomly asked after a night out, lying in bed what would you say if I asked you to marry me? She said she'd jump feet first, so I ran off and got the hidden ring. It was a good night, she went like a train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiDriver Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 My wife just kept asking, and asking, and hinting, and suggesting and asking...... And after nearly 13 years it was a combination of a weak moment on my part and having run out of excuses/places to run/hide... I gave in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyefor Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 I walked in to a club with my then (fairly long term) girl friend on my left arm. Saw a girl dancing in a spotlight on the stage at the far end of the club, turned to a mate who was standing to my right and said "thats the girl I'm going to marry". He laughed, the girl in the spotlight laughed when I suggested it to her two days later and after 43 years married (this July) it's by far the best thing I ever did. She still wears the best Levi 501's I've ever seen on any woman (and no, the eyesight ain't failing yet!) and, to this day, I still don't know how original girlfriend got home that night. And they all said it wouldn't last. Ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ips Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Walking a bit inebriated from bude town centre back to caravan site. I think it went something like "well, I suppose we may as well get married" she was equally pushed and said something like "yep, may as well" very romantic 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sussexboy Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 On top of the keep at Richmond Castle while on holiday.

Royboy Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 I'm not married but been with our peg for 17 years, I asked her to marry me last year on her 30th because I wasn't sure what else to get her 🙈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wandringstar Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Royboy, so you have been with her since she was 13? must be a mistake, did you mean her 40th? so you met her when she was 23.

R1nut Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 After 10 years I thought it was about time!!! Did the traditional, got the blessing of her dad first. Booked a horse ride in the valley of the rocks and proposed on horse back!!! A knight in shining armour not a **** in tin foil!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iano Posted February 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 I don't get this 'ask the farther' lark. My GF has a PhD, works hard and even has the right to vote. She isn't a chattal owned by her parents; she, and only she gets to say yes / no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
