How did FH propose?

My FH proposed to me while vacationing in Riveria Maya, Mexico. We were staying at the Riu Palace, and every night we walked by this gazebo on the beach. One night, Wednesday July 23rd, 2008, he wanted to take some pics of me on gazebo. Weird. So I go and I pose and stuff and than he says 'Here, why don't you put this on' and underhand threw a black box at me. IT HIT ME IN MY FACE and fell to the floor. Well, I got mad at him b/c I thought he bought me earrings ( we went for our 3 year, which is April 18th, and the vacation was our gift to each other) and I started YELLING at him 'why did you do that??!! You knew we spent a lot of money on this trip!!' and than I opened the box, and tada a ring. Well I started doing this embarrassing Laugh/Cry thing and kept telling him to 'shut up' but in the 'get the hell out of here are you seriously asking me' way. And before he could even ask, I was saying yes. But the catch is, and this is another funny part, in order for him to take the ring out of his carry on and for me not see it, he had to start a fight with me and piss me off so bad that I would storm into the bathroom. All that to take the ring and put in his pocket.

FH brought a replica of the ring with us on vacation. I got the real thing the night we got home. I almost fainted b/c it was so vibrant and beautiful.
And that was one of the happiest days of my life.

But thats my story. What about you?

ahh soo romantic..even the fighting part lol

ill let u know when he proposes ..one of these days.. i think. i gues sitll be a verbal agreement but him being 'romantic' cuz he even said that i am picking out my ring. ( he refuses to buy anythign for me without me picking it out)

he went to order a coat online,FOR HIMSELF and told his partner at work 'barbs not here, i cant buy it'

his partner was like 'uhmm what?' lol

My FH is like that with all my gifts. He Hates shopping for me. I have to send him a list with pics at Christmas of stuff I want or else he goes to store and rips his hair out.

But don't worry, he'll surprise you. They always do. My FH did it all on his own which shocked me. Normally its a whole production to do anything.

FH and I were on a cruise second day it was beautiful out!! I say that bc it was raingin the first,....We were at sea so EVERYONE on the ship was out there. I was called down to the stage by the pool by the event coordintator....
He statred asking me questions like who I was on the trip with... So I named FH ( i was there with FBIL, his gf, and another couple) but i only said FH. He then called FI up to the stage. Hen he told me he loved me and wanted to spens his life with me.. then got down on his knee in front of everyone and asked me to may him.... I started screaming yes! then they began to play 'I got you babe' He even organized to have the film crew there so the whole thing was filmed and on DVD for us to take home!!!

It was amazing but I looked like **** bc I was trying to hole back the tears but I could care less it was PERFECT!!!

***In regards to my previous post spelling/typing not so well after a bottle of Pinot grigio tonight.... LOL***

whats my excuse with my typing errors? lmao

thats soooooooooooooooo sickk!!! cuz we'r eobsessed with cruises and our song is 'i got u babe'(that and jeremiahh was a bullfrogg) wow

i read him what u wrote..hes like WOW. then put his headphones back on

It was December 23, FH asked me if i wanted to exchange an early christmas present...of course i said yes...

well, i opened my present and it was a picture frame...there was a picture of FH down on one knee holding my ring...the bottom of the picture frame said 'MARRY ME!' on it...then when i looked up he was on one knee holding my ring!

FH and I went down to atlantic city. My mom had tickets to celine dion, so we decided to tag along on the ride to make a weekend out of it. Then the week before, we invited his folks too. But we only had the two rooms booked -- 1 for my parents and 1 for FH and me. Since now his folks were coming, we decided he could just stay with his parents and i will stay with mine. it was just overnight. no big deal.

so my mom had tickets to see celine dion (by herself ...no one wanted to go), so FH and I decided to go out to dinner. we went to cuba libre in tropicana (mmmm). then afterwards we went out the side door exit and walked down the block. now this is a side street off the boardwalk in atlantic city, can you say SHADY???

anyway, this random guy hanging out by the wall approaches FH, like 'do i know you? o nevermind.' So, we keep walking...but then FH turns around and was like 'maybe you do...whats up?'

I am thinking, 'why is this boy talking to a stranger????'

So shady dude is saying that he has a limo and can give us a ride. I am like NO THANK YOU, shady dude. But, of course, FH keeps talking to him. FH asks how much. Shady dude says $20...he says for $20 he will take us anywhere we want to go.

I am just like, LETS WALK AWAYYYYYYYYY. But FH wanted to get in the limo with this strange guy off a side street in atlantic city.

So, of course, i thought if i kept walking away, FH would just HAVE TO follow me. So basically, i walked down the block to the corner...crossed the street...and walked up the block back the boardwalk. This whole time FH is still trying to talk to me about the limo.

Now, bear in mind, at Cuba Libre we had a pitcher of sangria...so i am seriously beginning to question his judgement. LOL.

Finally, after i walk up the opposite side of the street, I hear FH say, 'its okay rob, just show her'...or something like that. Now, FBIL's name is rob, so i was confused and turned around.

Now, the limo driver is holding a dozen roses saying they are for me.

But, of course, being from the city with ppl trying to sell roses in restaurants and whatnot,I really didnt want part of this. So, i told shady limo guy NO THANK YOU. and i tried to keep on walking.

this time, FH kind of cornered me, so i kept trying to get around. finally, FH told shady dude to turn the flowers around, and THANK GOODNESS, FH wrote a note and put it in an envelope with MY NAME ON IT that was ATTACHED TO the flowers.

Once i saw that, i was like oooooooooooooo....so i got in the limo.

we drove around AC and he proposed and we opened champagne.

then we went to pick up my mom from the concern in the limo, which was another surprise. then we picked up my dad from the hotel. which was another surprise. then we picked up his folks from their hotel. we drove around and drank champagne then gambled.

it was a great night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

worst part was --- i really had NO CLUE it was coming, so i didnt pick out a *perfect* outfit like i would have imagined doing if i expected it. LOLOLOL

fh proposed when we were in MEXICO. it was our first night there and we had just gotten back to the hotel after dinner and he suggested a walk on the beach. as we were walking he stopped and started saying how much he loved me and so on...and he started getting really nervous! and then kept saying nice things until he finally got down on his knees and pulled out the ring and proposed!

i donkt remember the exact words bc i was in shock...we had been together over 5 years but i just wasnt expecting it at that moment!

aww you guys have such cute stories!!

FH proposed to me when we were in vegas. i knew it was coming though because it was like 'hey lets go on a gondola ride' lol really obvious... plus i saw a big bulge in his pocket (ring box).... so at the end of the gondola ride before we turned around to go back he jumped out of his seat and proposed... he was so nervous!!
