Tell us your engagement story (if applicable) We had been dating for almost 6 years, but we didn't want to get married until we had both finished our Bachelor's degrees. I was in my last semester of school,, and he had a semester and a half left.
We went to this beautiful nature center in Atlanta. They have ponds all around and walking trails by the ponds, so we went for a long walk. I could tell he was nervous. Plus, I knew he had bought the ring (I found the receipt totally by accident).
We were sitting on a bench watching some ducks swim around in the pond. He told me he loved me, and I told him I loved him too. He said he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me, and I said "really!?!?!?". Then he got down on one knee, opened the ring box and said "will you marry me?". I responded with "are you shitting me!?!?". He looked confused and said no! Then I said yes probably 5-6 times, and we hugged and kissed. Then we went back to my apartment, watched Cars, and then we went out for a fancy dinner!

How did you meet your SO? We met during our sophomore year of college. We had one class together and were also both involved in the same campus ministry group. We were (are?) very shy people, and for the first ~10 months of knowing each other, we primarily talked on AIM even though we were on the same college campus... That gradually progressed to hanging out in person, and we eventually started dating at the end of our junior year.

Tell us your engagement story (if applicable) We had already been talking about getting married and had gone ring shopping together, so I knew it was coming. I went over to his apartment for dinner one evening after work/grad school, and when I got there all the lights were out and the entire apartment was filled with candles. He had prepared a nice meal and had bought me a fancy bottle of wine (funny side note: he doesn't drink wine so he didn't know anything about which wine to pick for the evening, so he just bought the most expensive one at the grocery store since he figured it would be the best). He had written a short poem, which he read out loud to me, and the final line was "Will you marry me?". It was really sweet.

His mom kept trying to force candy on our son (he was alomst 2) and I couldn't figure out why. Next thing I know DS comes toddling in the room with flowers and my H gets down on one knee. It was so very unexpected!

Cute idea! How did you meet your SO? We both moved to the same high school freshman year. I was the new kid a few months before he arrived. It was a super small town so we became friends because we were the outsiders. We lost contact in college and reconnected only by fate, it would seem. After my divorce I moved back close to our old home town and started working at a bank where they trained me inside his work building. I was only at that branch for 2 weeks and he happened to come in (not normal for him) while I was there. After talking a bit he found me on Facebook and added me and we've been together ever since.

Tell us your engagement story (if applicable). He drove me out to our hometown under the guise of dinner with his family. We ended up being early so he drove over to our old high school where we met. There he explained how hard high school had been, and if not for me he wouldn't have made it. He wanted to replace all those bad memories with good ones and then got on one knee. After I said yes he confessed that there were no plans with his family so we went out to dinner and celebrated on our own.

Tell us your engagement story - DH is a fire fighter. He pretended to we dead at his last practice burn at the fire academy. The guys drug him out of a burning building and then brought me to his side laying on the ground...I was crying until I saw him fumbling in his pocket for the ring while laying there "lifeless". He later told me he had a whole speech planned about how I bring him to life but once he got up and on his knee all he said was will you marry me?

Tell us your engagement story: we went to the botanical gardens near us one day "just to walk around" and the whole time he was looking around for somewhere more private. There were photographers doing senior pictures and stuff so it was pretty busy. I totally knew he was going to propose from how nervous he was acting. So he proposed in a little secluded part of the garden. It was not very romantic and he didn't get down on one knee, but it was still special to me.
Funny side note: his original plan was to propose at a Detroit Tigers game, but the game we had tickets to got rained out and we couldn't make it to the make-up game. So he proposed the next day at the botanical gardens.

Tell us your engagement story (if applicable) He came over to my house on Christmas Eve night to "drop something off" before my family headed to my Grandma's house. He had been acting kind of weird all day via text, so I thought something was up and when he came over I was even more suspicious. He got me outside and proposed outside my house under the Christmas lights. I was trying so hard to stay calm that I had no idea what he said, so after I said yes I had him repeat it! Then afterwards we celebrated at my Grandma's together with our families.

He's plane got redirected to Detroit and never made it to Columbus. I had to drive to Detroit to pick him up. Once I got to the airport I couldn't find him and once I did we just left. We then went to dinner at Olive Garden (my favorite restaurant). Thought he was going to propose there, but no go. Finally we went back to my house went for a walk and it began to snow and he got down on one knee and proposed. Made me wait all day. But I like that it was a very intimate setting.

He had been telling me that he was getting me a really good surprise for my birthday. He kept dropping hints and I pieced it together that it was a ring so I very bluntly said one day that it would be weird to get engaged in my birthday. He proposed the next day which was three days before my birthday!

Love reading all these love stories! and reminiscing about mine.
How did you meet your SO? We went to the same college, but didn't know each other. Our parents met when his moved to my hometown our Sophomore year. My dad was wearing out college sweatshirt and his mom asked if he had a kid there, too. She emailed her son and told him to look me up. Our campus had just gotten Facebook, so he sent me a message, then recognized me on campus a few days later and introduced himself. We went on a date that lasted 9 hours and the rest is history. TL;DR: we were sort of set up by our parents.
How long have you known each other? 10 years and a few months.
How long have you been married? 4 years, 1 month, 1 day.
Tell us your engagement story (if applicable): He proposed to me the day before moving across the country together. We walked along the water and he asked me questions about the place we were about to leave - what was your favorite memory, your favorite food, favorite place. I had a feeling it was coming; we would find a place to sit, he would look around us, and if there was anyone else lurking, he would suggest we got up and find another place to sit. Once he found a sufficiently private bench, he said "I have one more question, and if you answer it right you get a prize." Then pulled out a ring and asked if I wanted to get married.
Tell us your engagement story (if applicable): He proposed in front of my parents' house in Ohio while we were visiting for Christmas. I began bawling uncontrollably. My mom pulled in the driveway at that moment and started taking pictures. I'm a sobbing mess in all of them! He forgot to get down on one knee to do it, but he was so nervous, I can't blame him.

How did you meet your SO? We met online ? How long have you known each other? We have been together about 2 and a half years How long have you been married? It'll be one year next week! Tell us your engagement story (if applicable) Umm ...well my hubby had a plan to take me to Cirque du Soleil then go up the top of this viewpoint and propose but the weather forecast called for rain (as usual). He was miserable and fidgety all day I sent him to walk the dogs while I finished getting ready to go see the show. I was vacuuming (our dogs shed like crazy!), he came in and took the vacuum from me and then kissed me. I asked him what was wrong with him he was being so weird and then he got down on one knee and proposed. It's a weird little story but we are a weird little couple. ❤️

Tell us your engagement story (if applicable) Our engagement was far from romantic, but definitely memorable. H had planned to propose to me on the roof of our building. However, he got really nervous and dropped down on one knee in the doorway of our kitchen. I say yes and he jumped up to kiss me. In the excitement, he knocked me off my feet and I smacked the back of my head on the door jamb. When I swung my head back towards him in pain, I accidentally head butted him and split his lip open.
After several minutes of bleeding and some choice words, he reproposed and we were married 6 month later.

How did you meet you SO? We met at the daycare we worked at. I was on my hand and knees cleaning the toilet in my 3 yr old room. He told me I wasn't cleaning the toilet right according to the boss and I told him I'd been cleaning toilets for a while and it was fine.

How long have you been married? 3 1/2 years
What is your engagement story? DH took me to the nature park in his town. He wanted me to go down to the banks of the river and look at the water with him. I was so hot I turned around and said I wanted to go back to the car. He put the ring box on the shore and called me back down. I didn't even see the box. He had to pick it up from the ground and then get on one knee for me to figure out what was going on.
Extra side story: I was engaged at the time DH and I met planning my wedding. It was a bad relationship and I ended up leaving my ex and moving back up north. DH never knew what happened to me. We had a mutual friend who gave him my number. He wasn't even sure I would remember him. I did and we hit it off right away when he called and found out I was single, not married with kids. Then he found out I moved 1,000 miles away. We talked on the phone and skype for several months before I made the decision to move back to his state. He was so worried I was doing it for him and if it didn't work out I'd have no one since all my family was up north. Everything worked out. I never even knew he liked me when we worked together. He didn't want to break my ex and I up.
