Today's question is about your engagement. Did you know it was coming, or was it a complete surprise? Did he plan something romantic for you? Did he go through hoops to keep his plan a secret from you until he finally popped the question?
Unfortunately I knew my engagement was coming so there was no surprise. We'd talked about it MANY times because we were together 7 yrs before I got the ring. Of course there were good reasons (mostly financial) why it took so long, but patience is not my strong point!
One day in December 2012, a week or two after (he told me) he'd ordered the ring, I was feeling down and I mentioned that I hoped the ring came soon. Apparently he'd just picked the ring up earlier that day but hadn't told me. So he got it out from his drawer, got down on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. It wasn't how I'd always dreamed it would happen, but it was perfect in its own way :)

for me I knew it was coming but I had no idea when. I knew he bought the ring and 1 month passed 2 months 3 months I was really wondering what he was up to.. he was very busy and seemed consumed all the time. come to find out he had been working on my proposal for 4 months making a movie trailer to play in the movies when I was with my friend. Than the streamed it live over the internet for all my family to see. He came in during the trailer and got down on one knee video camera and all with a whole group of people. I still cant believe what he did. I still cant watch the whole thing without crying. he worked so hard on it my family and friends tell me the craziness of what was going on and what he did to pull it off. amazing.. most of you girls have seen it on youtube already.. but I will never forget that moment when I realized what was happening.

I knew, but I didn't really believe it. I told FH I didn't want to live with him unless we were engaged (although he was staying with my all the time anyways). He always said he had until Oct 31st, the day my lease ended to propose which bothered me because I needed to decide if I was moving or not. The weekend we celebrated out anniversary, I stopped by my mom's work, and she told me she saw pictures of my ring, in not so many words and what a special weekend it was. Well, I was so nervous, but as the weekend progressed, nothing happened. And when we finally made it to our final destination (Martha Clara) I didn't see any ring box shapes in his pocket, so I relaxed, and about 20 minutes later he proposed.

I had no clue! My friends from my Zumba work at IHOP and he coordinated it with them on my birthday for them to bring it out when they sang happy birthday to me. I had no clue! I thought they just wanted to sing and make a scene cause they knew it was my birthday.They had three plates stacked two facing each other and one on top with ice cream. After i blew the candle out the lifted the two plates and there was the box. I thought it was gonna be more food He got down on one knee and asked right in the middle of IHOP! After, I found out he went one day while I was working with my parents to pick out the ring! He took them to lunch and everything!!!
So sneaky lol

ugh i hate my engagement. FH and I got into an argument one night because I was planning to go out with some friends in a couple days and he was mad and I didn't know why. He finally blurted out that he was mad because he wanted to purpose to me. I was so angry and made him go home to Staten island and told him I wasn't talking to him anymore because he ruined it. The next day he went to my house and told my mom he just can't wait so she sent him to get some flowers and he showed up at my work and purposed. Not how I wanted but whatever I guess. We don't talk about it because it still upsets me lol but at least when I got home my family was there with champagne waiting.

You taking on the task of asking the questions seems like a better idea.... Why talk when you can do better???

Because I had my chance and I did better. The better idea would be to look at previous questions like I, and other girls did and to choose a different one. Wow that was hard to figure out.

The problem is also that quite a few of us have been together for well over a year. We already know the answers and we've answered these SEVEN millions times.
I know ladygoodman got engaged at a flogging molly concert at the roseland. I know that Mango's FH came to her office and proposed at work on the day after her b-day. I know both of them didn't expect it.
I could do that for A LOT of the girls on here.
We all know each other. We read the QOTD you 'newer' 2014 ladies post in an effort to get to know you... but some of you already have answered this same question already.
You guys all made a big stink about how there was no BOTW and no QOTD... but this is why. When two people answer a question... THAT IS WHY.

Ok, how bout this for spicy? Do you like it up the ***? Have you ever used a dildo on your man? Have you ever had a threesome with another guy or girl? Do you like to use whips and handcuffs?
Last I checked this is a site for people to talk about things that are WEDDING related, not over-share about their sex lives.

So I still don't understand why someone can't do it twice??
There is only so many brides that are getting married in 2014 and even less actively writing everyday that have the time to ask questions everyday and prob even less who want to read questions of the day going back a year or more
Just saying...

Just for the record, the QOTD is the the WeddingRelated QOTD. I just think that a lot us have got to know each other well on this site and its slowly dying out. Spicing things up doesn't have to mean shoving a dildo up your man's a$$. It could just mean asking a question that hasn't been asked multiple times.

Lol exactly!!! Who wants to talk or post that on a site everyone and who knows who from the outside world can read. You don't even have to be a member to read.

I was going to say this! Spicing it up could be something even like 'who is someone you are being forced to invite to your wedding and why do you NOT want them there' or 'What kind liquor really gets you going and are you gonna drink it on your wedding day?'
Just something different.

You can't expect her to read through two years of QOTDs that's ridiculous. there's only so many questions you can ask, she's new to posting clearly so you can give her a break. I know I don't want to answer the spicy sex questions that I have seen pop up and could care less about what you ladies do in the bedroom.
keep posting stargazer I'm ok with a couple repeat questions.
