My husband is a shy man in revealing his love. I was his friend before the whole proposal of boyfriend thing and we courted for 5 years before the marriage conversation came along. Here's my story.

I got to know him through the internet and we were talking over the phone for hours in the nite, for about one month. We only met once at a movie theatre with some friends, then one day I was going on a school camp and would not be able to talk over the phone for atleast 4 days. He was feeling very miserable n upset. He was telling me not to go on the camp. I had no handphone then, so he could not contact me except to page(pager) me. On the 1st nite of the camp, he paged me afew times, then I managed to call him, and I told him that there were many handsome n cute guys from other schools in the camp. I purposely lied to him and said that I was actually flirting with my friends doing group dates. He was feeling jealous n making grumpy sounds. On the 2nd nite, he paged me continously and I didn't reply. After awhile, I purposely called him and his friend answered the phone and his friend told me that he was very shy to propose as he was worried I might reject him. So he rather not know the answer but be my friend till he got the courage to hear a no for an answer.

So I told the friend, to pass the phone to him n ask him to propose n I will consider. So he picked up the phone and instead of proposing to me, he asked me how was my camp n whether I have eaten? Finally he asked me if I will be his gal...... I must say he has alot of inferior complex. Coz he is very dark n not that handsome or a hunk with muscles.....But I loved him for his heart and love. He was great. So I asked him if I said no, then how? He said he will die. So I told him, no jokingly and told him to die. After laughing, he asked if I was joking. Lol.... I said yes, and I heard him shout in joy to his friends... That's how I got proposed....

After courting for 2months, on new year's eve, he met me after work and I was rushing home to be with my family. So we had little time together. During that minute, he took my hand and placed a tiny box on my palm and asked me to open it. There was this tiny gold ring in it. He took it and slipped it through my finger and with a hug n kiss told me "happy new year, wife"...I couldn't register it. We were unofficially husband and wife in our hearts then itself. I took that ring that he bought with his first salary after joining a company, as my wedding ring.

Even the actual wedding ring is sleeping in the cupboard. This ring is the address to our love life.

Aww, hehe I think shy guys are cute. Ur husband seems so sweet im happy for u. Thanks for sharing your story with me :) that new yrs must of been unforgetable hehe.

Im a man. Girls do you think this is romantic? Putting a ring into a small parachute then glide it down towards her desk then when she look where it came from, I will be there with a big placard of will you marry me denise! To you think that would be cool? :oops: :oops:

Very cool n romantic.... That's a great idea... Do it...

Good luck!

Personally, I don't think it's a good idea to make a big gesture in front of a lot of people. It will make her feel like she's being put on the spot, and you aren't giving her the chance to make the decision for herself because everyone around her is going to want to know if she said yes or no.

I met my husband on the internet. (he is english and I am american.) on my first visit to see him in person, we were lying around in bed talking and decided that we should get married and that was it.

If you are meant to be together you will both know.

I wish I had a romantic story but at least it's a day i'll never forget.

It was our 6 month anniversary. We were on our way to target and the whole way there he was going on and on about how great I am and whatnot and I was just like "thanks". When we got there he said he wanted a hug so we're standing in the parking lot hugging and he's still going on and on about how wonderful I am and then he got a little teary and said he wanted to ask me something and he pulled a ring out of his pocket. Then he got down on one knee and proposed. I didn't see this coming *at all* so I was absolutely shocked. And I was just going "oh my god! Oh my god!" and looking around (for what I don't know, hidden cameras?). It was truly the biggest surprise of my life. And the ring was/is absolutely gorgeous. Platinum with a princess cut diamond and a pink sapphire on either side. It was made for me. Then we had to go into target to do our shopping like nothing had even happened. I was giddy.

He said he wanted to do something more romantic but couldn't think of anything and he wasn't going to propose at our apartment so we had to just get out of the house. That's why we were at target. It wasn't a fairytale scene out of a movie but i'll never forget it.

My husband didn't actually propose to me first. His daughter did. My husband was married to his first wife for only four years and they had a little girl together. She was only one when I met him, so she only remembers us together. She just turned six a few months ago. I was in the bathroom getting ready for church after I had done her hair. She knocked on the door and I told her to come in as she likes to watch me get ready and put on makeup. She taped me on the hip and I looked down and saw her holding a ring box. She asked me if I would be her stepmom. Talk about emotional. I told her I would love to. My husband was waiting in the hallway and poked his head in to ask her what I said. She was so excited and shouted that I said yes. He then proposed to me himself just for the sake of tradition. It was perfect. She was also our flowergirl and was so cute. She was only five when we got married, but she asked if she could sing a song for us at the wedding. She stole the show! She is my little shadow and one of the best things that has ever happened to me, after my husband of course.

My story isn't very romantic either..... My man and I had been together for 3 years and we had already started talking about marriage before it happened.... We were at my house and we were getting ready to go out to dinner at red lobster..... I was walking toward the door to leave and he was behind me... He grabbed my arm and said "wait" and I turned around and he was on one knee with a ring in a box holding it up towards me (you know........How all the old fashion movies do it... Hehe) the ring was gorgeous!! He said he had been saving for it since our 1 year anniversary! It was a 1 carat princess cut solitaire with a platinum cathedral setting! It was like my dream come true!
