How did you propose?

[ChumpChange]

We were running it hard like Beaumont but in Mohave. We were partying on the docks when I dropped to my knee. We thought we had some good pics but all the picks had some guy jerking a dog in the background.

 

[NicPaus]

I thought it was you recently posting about a date?

Glad it worked out! Congratulations

 

[TPC]

She asked me.

My mom judged the women in my life if they read the morning newspaper.
Otherwise she consider them a dingbat.
Politically conservative was essential too, good to go.

My dad and mom once got stranded in a snowstorm in their VW van. So: My dad judged the girls in my life "if they can pee in a beer can."

I'll ask Alice when she wakes up if she can do that.

Ali met enough guys to know I had an active, fun life that others didn't so she stuck around and things developed.

The guy she met for coffee before she met me had asked her if she "was into water sports?"
Ali replied she "single and double water skied."
The guy said he meant "enemas and catheters during sex."

The TPC had a halo over his head after she experienced that slimeball. I could do no wrong.

But walking up to the house my Wakeboard boat had "Precision Watersports" written on the back and she did take notice.

Second date she showed up with a new child safety seat and fastened it in the 2500 crew cab. At that point, I could forget the stable of women I was dating.
Alice may be quiet, soft spoken and compassionate, but she doesn't take a back seat to another chick.

There’s so many similarities to my situation in this, thanks!!

Indeed. Things happened purdy darn quick.

 

[old rigger]

Being the romantic that I am, asked Lori to marry me as we were swimming from the dock at Sundance up river to my boat that was tied to one of the buoys.
She couldn't really swim so I knew the odds were in my favor.
That was 41 years ago, got our 40th coming up this June.

She still can't fucking swim.

 

[Bobby_329]

I mean you don't really have to say anything just pull the little box out. It was a yes before I even opened it but we had also been together for like 7 years and living together for 6. We were camping in Winchester bay Oregon with her parents when I asked her and had just bought a sand rail so she definitely wasn't expecting it.

 

[Mandelon]

Down by the cove in La Jolla. Then we went for Haagen Dazs ice cream. LOL 36 years ago. Just out of college, we were pretty poor at the time.

 

[D19]

Sunset Hill Glamis. She was so irritated with me leading up to it because she kept giving me the "shit or get off the pot talk"... I had been telling her, "I'm just not sure I'm ready for that type of commitment so lets just take it slow".... All the while I had a ring stashed at my in laws and friends and family all planning to be in Glamis that weekend for the proposal.

As far as her being irritated by me... well I don't think that's every really changed much! LOL

 

[billet racing]

Walking out of the Planned Parenthood bldg with a confirmed pregnant.
"Well, I guess we'll get married"
5 kids, 12 grand kids, and 45 years later.

Or should we say, 4 boats later!

If it’s #2. Do the complete opposite of the 1st proposal.

First one was in a parking lot of our workplace on a lunch break, so that won’t be hard.

Post 61 had me thinking this might be your third.

Naw just girlfriends / heart breakers.

 

[floatn turd]

I didn't!
Turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made.

 

[941Punk]

We use to drive to El Matador beach in Malibu all the time when we started living together. Well she got preggo and on one of our trips I dropped to a knee and asked. 6 months later and 8 months preggo in a white dress, in the very same spot I asked, we said I do. It's been 25 years since. 27 together.

 

[Todd Mohr]

I made her sign a contract regarding this already.

A buddy was getting one from his future wife and she said how does it feel to get your last BJ? he replies you mean from you.

 

[overdue]

1989 on top of Comp Hill in Glamis on a Saturday night . was soooo afraid i was going to lose the ring on the ride there . no one in our group knew about it beforehand ,,,

 

[C_J_J_C]

I was super nervous and I don't remember exactly what I said but I do remember it was late, we were naked, and she was very impressed with the size....... of the ring.

 

[TPC]

,,,,, and then the conversation defaulted to ,,,, Play me or trade me.

 

[throttle]

We were out on a dirt road, she had to say yes or risk being left for the wolves.

 

[BingerFang]

Three days before I closed on our first home I thought it would be brilliant to propose the day we got the keys…. When she got off work she was driving to our new home for the first time and when she pulled up and got out I dropped the knee. Luckily no one was there, I had a woody I was so excited! Lol

 

[Willie B]

… I thought they were supposed to ask you… One… actually did… Newport Beach girlfriend… two others certainly alluded to it… and the Porsche Cayanne chick from a couple years ago… I think I would’ve married her… At least that’s the way it felt sitting in front of my neighbors house in her cayenne… but it was her who already had a couple of marriages under her belt… maybe it was three …and was not interested in me from that perspective… but by the vibe she put off I can see why guys wanted to marry her…

 

[CarolynandBob]

It was at my wife b-day party. I was handing her gifts to open. The last one was the ring. As she opened it I got down on a knee. She threw the ring down and bear hugged me. I'm saying what about the ring and where did it go. she said she didn't care about a ring. Found the box on the floor with the ring in it. Been married 26 yrs.. Her not caring about the ring says a lot about what she cares about and what doesn't matter to her.

 

[farmo83]

I had arranged a party afterwards.

My grandpa was very special to me and he had passed away prior to our getting together. I proposed at our family lake place he lived at. I figured that small part of our lives could be where was special to him.

 

[Boat Potato]

My grandma had a friend who built a gondola and ran it out of newport. He had me write will you marry me on a piece of paper and put it in a bottle. During the ride he threw it overboard and drove into it with the boat to hear the thump. He pulled it out of the water and handed it to her to open. It was pretty cool.

 

[530RL]

A little humor for the thread.

 

[FlyByWire]

Ok well she said yes. I thought she was way smarter than that… but lucky me.

I hired a photographer that specializes in capturing proposals. She knew it was coming this weekend, but didn’t know it would be the first thing we did when we got off the plane.

Here’s a selfie of us.

 

[monkeyswrench]

Sweet! Get it out of the way from the get go! Have a great weekend, we expect a full report next week...no go have fun!

 

[Lumpy]

Congratulations!

Bro flexin lol congrats

 

[DILLIGAF]

I am just going to leave a "no comment" statement on this topic. Lol

 

[SHOCKtheMONKEY]

Congratulations!
She's beautiful.

 

[Havasu blue label]

Congrats have a great weekend

[FlyByWire]

She’s a princess.

 

[FlyByWire]

Seriously though.

This thread was great and I appreciate all the replies. I’m not sure exactly what I said, and neither is she. All she remembers is “Will you marry me?”

I had to be in touch with the photographer quite a bit in order to make sure the angles were good and there wasn’t any naked people in these pics;

He said I was in the top 1% of people he’s shot in terms of my speed.. I didn’t stand there and fuck around with a speech, I just did it.

Thanks for your stories and the pics you all shared. We got some amazing ones as part of this experience, here’s a couple that don’t blast my face out there too much

And make all the “getting married again” jokes you want. I never learn my lesson with anything else so why start now.

Great pics, and again congratulations

 

[ChumpChange]

Great pics. Maybe Dixon Flannel can run a marketing campaign with these pictures.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Congratulations brotha!!

 

[Uncle Dave]

1st marriage - On an easter egg she dipped that came up with the question.

2nd marriage - On the way to wedding in the limo.

 

[FreeBird236]

From what the pics do reveal it's obvious you married up. Congratulations to both of you.

 

[havasujeeper]

I'm impressed with the rock on her finger. They must provide Tiffany bonuses for scratching more cites each month?

I wish. Don’t look at my watch then.

But they DO offer 84 month payments at 17.99%, so I got lucky with that one.

 

[HTTP404]

Congrats. You both look very happy.
