How would you describe the feelings you felt when your "SO" proposed?

He didn’t ask me. We just knew we wanted a life together. We didn’t need to be married but then, at one point, I needed his health insurance so that I could keep my ob-gyn during my last pregnancy. So, we got married. The legal stuff is all bull, but necessary bull.

I suggested we should be married. She agreed and we did. We still are and will to the end of our lives.

He didn’t propose. We were talking about the benefits of being married, and decided that was for us. We got married 35 years ago and still going strong.

She asked me. I felt like just the two of us were on top of a giant mountain peak but that there was nothing else around us. Nothing else existed or mattered. I had never felt so in love, so completely consumed with love.

When my first husband proposed I still can’t believe I can truthfully say “first husband I was just kind of there. I don’t remember feeling euphoria or anything like that. It was probably more along the lines of thinking “well this is a logical next step.”

With the guy I am seeing now, we actually propose to one another a couple of times a week. Every time we say yes to one another and every time I get tingly!

We’d been together for almost two years. We always just knew we were going to get married. I was 19, he was 24. I was out of HS & we knew the time was right. My BD is March 20 & I just KNEW that I was going to get a diamond. The day came & went. Nothing. I was feeling pretty down. A week passed. It was the 27th. I’ll never forget it. I was sitting on his lap at the kitchen table & he pulled out a ring box. That was it. I started to cry & he said “if you cry, I’m taking it back.” I cried anyway, & he didn’t take it back. LOL He said he knew I thought I was going to get it for my birthday, but he said he wanted the day to be special & memorable in its own right. And it was. It’ll be 43 years in June & I’m still wearing those rings. :-)

Aw @jbfletcherfan You made me cry! I’m such a sucker for romantic stories.

@wundayatta Thanks. . :-)

Well I call my first marriage a sham but I was playing Star Trek Armada (PC game) when she was looking at the company insurance policy. She said “Well, it looks like we have to have a marriage certificate to get insurance for me and the baby” I was like.. oh ok. She then said “Well, maybe we should get married”. I non chalantly stated “Yea, sure.. whatever” Probably the worst mistake I ever made given the fact that I had been thinking about leaving her for some time. But I also had a though that maybe marriage will make the grim situation better. I guess the moral of the story is… If something dosn’t feel right don’t do it. But if something does feel right, then persue it. When i ask my girlfriend to marry me I want it to be romantic, and right for both of us. :-) It will be fun to plan how I am gonna do that.

@Tenpinmaster Sadly, it sounds like your first marriage was doomed from the start. It sounds like this one will be much more successful. Cheers. :-)

@jbfletcherfan Yes it was. I appreciate your sentiment :) :) I believe with all my heart that this one will be fantastic.

@Tenpinmaster Good for you. At least you sound sure this time. :-)
