Military Brides
Newly engaged army bride!
Hey girls, Im new to the knot. My fiance is in the Army National Guard. I was wondering how you girls were proposed to? He had drill all weekend and came home on Sunday (june 10th) in uniform. I was relaxing outside with our dog and he came over to me and handed me the nametape off of his ACU's and said "I wanted to know if you wanted to keep this" I said sure of course .. and he said "along with this??" and got down with the ring and asked me. I was in such shock I couldnt speak! But of course I said yes! It was 2 days before my birthday too, which made it so much better, He said he wanted to wait but was too excited...How were you girls proposed to?

FI proposed on our anniversary at Disneyland. We walked over to Snow White's wishing well and he got down on one knee. It was cute and we both love Disney.
FI proposed last June when I flew out to visit him in Cali over my birthday. The actual day of the proposal, everything that could go wrong did lol Things definitely did not line up the way he wanted them to. So anyway, it was our first actual date night in months. We decided to ge see The Hangover 2 at the theater (so romantic right lol) and then we went out for ice cream. Afterwards, we were walking back to the car to leave, or so I thought. Instead he led me down to the beach. So we took a late night walk down the beach and he found this huge rock to sit on overlooking the ocean.
After sitting there and just talking for awhile, he started jiggling his leg really bad - he does that when he really has to pee lol So I told him we could leave if he wanted to. So we get up to leave, as I turn around to step off the rock he grabs my hand and turns me back around. He's standing on the rock just below me and gives his little speech. I had no idea what was going on until he said the words "Babe will you marry me". He sure can be romantic when he wants to be!!
Like Divine said ours was so us too. We were at the Outter Banks for the 4th of July and we were sitting on the dock getting ready to watch the fire works drinking beer and eating boiled peanuts. That is when he popped the question.
Thats soo adorable!!! CONGRATS!!!!

My now fiance and I were just enjoying an evening together before he had to head off to AT in Grayling. Both in our sweats and having one of our usual end of the night wrap-up conversations. Talking about how a bunch of my friends and co-workers had baby fever and are getting engaged. That of course lead to us talking about our future. The rest of the conversation is a bit of a blur. Apparently he made it quite obvious that he was going to propose with saying "So if I were to ask you to marry right now you would say yes?". He then sped off to his bedroom and came back sat down by me and put a ring on my finger. I was completely stunned at this point in time and was unsure what he was doing. Then after a little while my whits came to me and I actually realized what exactly was going on. He had to ask me again for me to fully realize what had just played out. Needless to say I was excited. I cried I smiled and I couldn't stop smiling til I fell asleep.
The only bad part about it was that he had to run off to AT the next day.
