It was 1972 and I had been dating my future-ex-husband for most of our junior year of high school and into our senior year. One night, he told me he had a very important question: did I believe in pre-marital sex. I answered “no”. Then he said “In that case, do you want to get married?” Believe it or not, I did. We actually were married for 13 years before I got fed up and bailed.

And another one …

I was supposed to listen for a horse in the house, but of course couldn’t hear anything. After I yelled out, “What horse could be in my house?” Alex came “riding” into the room on a horse (a child’s toy with a horse’s head on the end of a stick), wearing a full suit of armor. I couldn’t help laughing as I thought, “What in the world would make him do something as crazy as this?” He then drew his sword (which even made sound effects), got down on one knee and said, “Sarah, I want to be your knight in shining armor. Will you be my wife?” I was caught so off-guard that I couldn’t respond right away and started to shake my head, apparently to keep from passing out. (Alex later told me that he grew more nervous by the second as he waited patiently for an answer, and at the same time watched all of the color drain from my face.) However, once I came back down to earth and realized what was happening, I nodded “yes” through lots of happy tears.

Is your proposal sweeter or funnier or just plain more interesting than these? Get it in, and get your chance at the prize.

We’re running this contest in honor of the DVD release of the Sandra Bullock flick The Proposal, which hits stores tomorrow!!!

  • I am writing about a client, who rented a car, bought a dress, taira, gloves and shoes. Went to his girlfriend’s house, and asked her to put them on. He then took her to the nearby mall and had her face and hair done, here he had pictures taken. After the Mall he asked her if she would like to drive by the beach. They live in Pensacola Florida, so the beach is close by. They drove to the east end of Pensacola Beach and parked the car. Asked if she would stay in the car for a minute. He walk over the sand dune to the beach. He asked if I was ready, we were ready. He returned to the car and took Tracy by the hand. They walked over the dunes. There was a four foot high sand castle with the words Princess Tracy carved into it. He knelt down in front of the castle and asked her to marry him. She said “yes”. A Studio on Wheels from Pensacola, FL was the professional photographers he hired to take photos of the occasion and a professional scupturer from San Destin, FL to make this very special sand castle.

  • I was going out with my boyfriend for 3 years when one night he asked me to marry him. Before I said yes I asked him what makes you want to marry me. He said firstly ‘I don’t like arguing with strangers, secondly I like our ‘1 fall – 2 submission and a OK to decide the winner when when we argue’ We were married for 40 years in 2008 when sadly he passed away. When we were asked what the secret was he always said that he did not like arguing with strangers.

  • OURSTORY WILL ONLY BE FUNNY TO PEOPLE WHO HUNT OR KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT HUNTING. WELL OUF FIRST DATE WAS A NIGHTMARE. I DID NOT SEE HIM FOR OVER 2 YEARS , SINCE WE DID NG NOT IN THE SAME TOWN. I BEST FREIND WAS MARRIED TO HIS BEST FRIEND. SO ON A NEW YEAR’S I WENT TO MY FRIENDS HOUSE TO GO TO A NEW CLUB. THEN SHE TOLD ME HER HUSBAND HAD ASKED BRYAN TO GO, SHE WANTED TO KNOW IF THAT WAS O.K. WITH ME. I REPLYED AS LONG AS HE KNOWS IT IS NOT A DATE. WE WENT AND STAYED A LONG TIME. HE WAS VERY NICE THE WHOLE NIGHT, BUT WE GOT BACK TO OUR FREINDS HOUSE WHICH WAS A 2 BEDROOM HOUSE HE SAID I’AM SLEEPING IN THE BED, WHERE ARE YOU SLEEPING? ( HE LIVED MAYBE 4 BLOCKS AWAY & I LIVED LIKE 3 HOURS AWAY, SO I TOLD HIM I WAS SLEEPING ON THE COUCH. HE HAD TO BE AT WORK AT 7 A.M., NEEDLESSK AE HE DID MAKE IT. AFTER HE LEFT THE HOUSE I WAS GOING TO GET IN THE BED. WELL YOU HAVE TO GIVE AN A+ FOR TRYING BECAUSE BEFORE HE LEFT TO GO TO WORK HE CAME OVER TO THE COUCH AND TRIED TO PUT A MOVE ON ME (NO LUCK). WHEN HE LEFT I GOT UP OFF THE COUCH AND WENT TO GET IN THE BED, BUT I COULED NOT FIND MY SOCKS. WHEN HE RETURNED HE HAD MY SOCKS ON. FOR SOME STRANGE REASON WE STARTED LONG DISTANCE DATING. THEN HE MOVED TO LITTLE ROCK WHERE I LIVED AND WE WERE TOGETHER FOR 4 YEARS. I WAS 26 YEARS OLD AND KNEW IF WE WERE NOT GETTING MARRAIED I NEED TO START LOOKING AROUND. SO I TOLD HIM TO PICK A DATE OR GET OUT. WELL WE GOT ENGAGED IN APRIL AND SET OUR WEDDING DATE FOR 09-03-83. NOW YOU HAVE TO KNOW THIS WAS ALL PLANNED AROUND DOVE HUNTING. IF YOU DO NOT HUNT THE 1ST DAY OF DOVE SEASON IT IS NOT AS GOOD TO HUNT ANY OTHER DAY. IN THE PAST DOVE SEASON ALWAYS CAME IN ON THE 1ST DAY OF SEPT.. SO HE PICK 9-3-83 SO THEY COULD HUNT THURSDAY & FRIDAY, IN BATESVILLE, AR AND THEN COME TO LITTE ROCK FRIDAY AFTERNOON FOR ALL THE WEDDING STUFF. WELL AROUNG THE LAST OF JULY ARK. GAME AND FISH COMMISSION CHANGED THE DATE OF DOVE SEASON TO THE FIRST SATURDAY IN SEPTEMBER WHICH WAS 09-03-83. HE BEGGED TO TAKE A MARKER AND CHANGE THE TIME ON THE INVITATIONS, AND WE HAD GONE WITH A DOVE THEME FOR OUR WEDDING. NOT ANY OF HE GROOMSMEN WANTED TO BE THERE AND WE RECEIVED SO MANY ITEMS THAT SAID THINGS LIKE ” WE INTERRUPT THIS WEDDING TO BRING YOU THE HUNTING SEASON”., ETC. I WAS TOLD THEY WERE GOING TO SHOT THE DOVE TOPPING OFF THE CAKE, AND ALL THE MEN IN THE WEDDING WERE REALLY MAD. SO WE ALMOST NEVER GOT MARRIED, BUT WE DID AND HAVE BEEN MARRIED 26 YRS AND BEEN WITH EACH OTHER FOR 30. SO IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING A BOUT HUNTING IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN GETTING MARRIED. EVEN THOUGH WE NEVER SPEND OUR ANNIVERSARY TOGETHER OR EVEN GO OUT TO EAT. THIS HAS BEEN A 26 YEAR TRADITION. NOT FOUF but

  • My husband and I met in high school…I was 2 feet off the ground when I laid eyes on him. Love at first site. Literally, 2 feet off the ground. The boyfriend I had at the time had picked me up and I had my arms around his neck with my head over his shoulder. Needless to say, he was very much taller than me. I saw Jerry walking around the corner, and my pulse started racing. I couldn’t take my eyes off him. Of course, my boyfriend thought this was all for him….hahaha.

    Months later, Jerry and I started dating. We were together for almost 8 months, then, due to circumstances, we stopped seeing one another. But we continued our friendship. I moved to another state (5 states away), but we talked every friday night, no matter who we were dating or engaged to. I graduated school, he graduated school, I moved to N. Dakota, he went in the service. I got married, he got married, I moved back home after a divorce, he moved back home with a wife. I remarried and had a baby, he got divorced. He became my son’s godparent. I got divorced again, he was in a relationship and engaged. I found a new guy, he left the girlfriend.

    As you can see, we continually were off course with each other. But, even tho, we still had our tight relationship and no matter who we were with, or who tried to keep us apart, they couldn’t. I was still in love with him, and he with me. We just wouldn’t step over that “invisible barrier” and risk our friendship for one night of passion. We couldn’t risk it.

    Finally, after 17 years of chasing, teasing, fear, love, frustration and committment, Jerry came to my apartment the night I moved out of my ex-boyfriends, and into my own place with my son. We kept company for a few weeks, but still kept that barrier in place. We finally overcame our fear, and jumped into the best relationship we have ever had. We were together for 1 year, and I knew that we would be together forever. We had gone looking at rings, but he had not proposed. He kept telling me I could have any diamond I wanted. Jokingly, I told him I wanted a 3 carat I saw at the jewelers, and of course, he balked. Then, I told him the only one I wanted was the one he had in his ear. His face turned white! This was only a 1/4 carat, but it was his “perfect” 1/4 carat. He didn’t even give this up to the one that he was engaged to before me!

    I carried around my wedding band for weeks before he even proposed. I knew he had the engagement ring because the diamond was missing out of his ear. But I didn’t say anything. Then, one day he came home from work, worn out from a hard day, and dropped to his knees in front of me in the living room. This was not un-normal, as I usually would massage his shoulders when he looked like this. But he didn’t put his back to me, instead he took my hand and played it the same way we see it on TV, or on the Princess storybooks. He told me how much he loves me, he reminded me of what he’d gone through to get to this day, and how much he would treasure me for the rest of my life. He told me he wanted to marry me, but was worried that I wouldn’t say yes, that is why he hadn’t asked before.

    Guess what? It’s been 16 glorious years. He has treasured me, loved me, and been the best husband any woman could want. We have had only one bitter disagreement in all these 16 years. But his story will be different. He tells everyone that the only way to get rid of a stalker is to marry her!! Guess I did my job right!
