In a hotel room...

We were getting ready to go out to dinner for our anniversary and I gave her her gift. It was a scrapbook type of picture book of pictures we had taken over the years. The last page/picture was a picture of the ring with the caption "Will you marry me?". I then dropped to my knee, lip quivering, hands shaking and proposed. I didn't hear myself say the actual words but she said yes lol.

Shut the front door! That's how my husband proposed to me! It wasn't a scrapbook so much as just a photo album, and it was just pictures from a roll of film he had just developed. But the very last picture was one of him on bended knee holding the ring. He was in the kitchen while I was looking through the photos. I sat there for a few minutes, thoroughly confused. He finally yelled "Are you coming in here or not?" I said yes when I walked in the kitchen though.

By the way, I've been engaged twice and still have yet to get an honest-to-God proposal.

I know of both an ice rink and Disney proposal! One couple had gone skating at Rockefeller Center in the weeks leading up to Christmas. He had booked a private skate and when the rest of the crowd cleared off the ice, he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him and the spectators cheered!

Another girlfriend of mine was down in Disney World with her mother on vacation. As a surprise, her boyfriend flew down to Florida for the day, and found out when she and her mother would be right in front of Cinderella’s castle. My girlfriend spotted him through the crowd and he walked up and proposed at the castle!

My husband completely threw me off as he made reservations at Tavern on the Green a week after Valentine’s Day. He got down on his knee and proposed during dessert. I was in shock! I think I cried in my cheesecake.

Me neither.

And um, what if she had said no? Could have been a very awkward moment!

A girl I knew from high school had this happen! Maybe it was the same girl, but I'm sure that's happened more than once, haha. Such a cute idea.

My fiancé surprised me at the O-phi-A national convention in July. Planned an amazing night for the two of us, and proposed in the City Gardens park in downtown, St. Louis, Missouri. I then got to do a candle pass at banquet the next night to reveal the engagement to my sisters
