So how did you react?

Re: So how did you react?

  • I was like "um what?  is this happening?  what's going on?  can I have my camera back? (he gave some rando my camera to take a pic of us and then asked the guy to hold onto it for a minute so he could propose.)"  Then he reminded me I hadn't said yes so I said yes.  About 15 mins later, after continuing to be like "um what?  did this really just happen?" I burst into tears and he was like "oh thank god,  you did not have enough of a reaction."

  • H claims that I grabbed the ring. I remember just being super happy and saying yes (not screaming because we were in church).

    When my dad asked my mom, she replied with two words:  "You're drunk."
  • i was in shock. i was looking a a tree lit up on the square and i heard him well this is good enough i turned around to him saying will you marry me? i was like yes yes. glimpsed at the ring. since we were in downtown it wasnt that great of an area so i didnt get to put the ring on until we got back into the car.

  • We actually have a pretty terrible video of it (that I hate sharing because I'm in a bikini and look like a lard bucket) but I just kept repeating while crying, "Are you fucking around?" and "Did you talk to my parents??".  (The answers were no, he was not fucking around and yes, he did call my parents about a week before to tell them his plan.  I can't believe my mother kept her big mouth shut that long.)

    I wouldn't let him take the ring out of the box or try it on because we were in kayaks in the ocean and I was PETRIFIED of dropping it (he had thought ahead though--it was tied to fishing line and the box had a floatie thing that you put on boat keys).  I finally tried to hug him (again, in separate kayaks, it was a bit dicey) and then we paddled back into shore to properly hug/kiss/put the damn ring on.  (Oh yeah, somewhere in there I said "yes".)

  • He had the ring safety pinned into his wallet so he wouldn't lose it, but then was so nervous that couldn't get it un-pinned.  So, he just opened his wallet, showed me the ring pinned in there and said "so, um, will you?".  I think I said something like, "um, yeah... so, do you need help with that?".  Then after the ring was on my finger, the happy nerves set in... and I started shaking like crazy!  I did the same thing when I found out I passed my last architecture licensing exam. So, for about an hour I was shaking super bad, which made it crazy when showing it off to my family or trying to take photos of the ring.

  • "Is this really happening?" "Is this really happening?" "Is this really happening?" And I think I blacked out at some point too.

  • He woke me up at like 6:30am before he had to leave for work, and I sleepily said "Of course!" If I cried, it wasn't much, but I don't remember. 

    We had gone hiking a couple days before and he wasn't able to propose like he wanted. We had a big conversation about him proposing after the hiking trip because he was so visibly upset about it, so I figured it would be that morning, since he had to leave to go back home. 
  • I'm a terrible person. We were hiking by a waterfall and I turned around because our dog was eating something she shouldn't. When I turned back around he was on one knee holding the ring box. I was 100% shocked. I had no idea the proposal was coming although I knew through my sister that he had gone ring shopping. So rather than screaming or crying or whatever I yelled and called him a jerk! That pretty much shocked him into silence for a moment before he shook it off and asked me to marry him. I said yes obviously...but the proposal probably didn't happen how he was expecting. I was in so much shock and surprise that I couldn't believe that I hadn't expected it or seen it coming.



  • We had talked about getting married and the only rule I stipulated about the proposal was it couldn't be at my mom and stepdad's anniversary party. Little did I know he had already talked to them and they were fine with him asking at the party. He really wanted every body around when he asked. 

    He told me he needed to ask me a question and started walking me towards what I thought was a corner of the room. He stopped in the middle of everybody. At that point I knew what he was about to do and didn't know whether to be pissed or happy. He got down on one knee, started talking, I started crying, said yes a lot. We kissed and he put my ring on. My mom was very happy, so that made me okay with him asking me at her party. 
  • Hideous ugly crying. He laughed.

    This is my engagement face.

    FI surprised me with a trip to Disneyland on our 3-year anniversary, and he asked a cast member in front of the castle to hold his phone for a sec and take a video before taking our picture so he could just screenshot from the video.  He asked me where he should stand and while I was turned around he got down on one knee. I turned around and made this face, and he asked if I would marry him.  I just stared at him for a second and then realized I should answer (yes was the answer).  People were gathered around and clapped, and he got an amazing video.  
    AHHH I love it, that is CLASSIC "engagement face"!

  • I knew he was about to propose. It was our anniversary and we were snowshoeing in the middle of a forest at sunset. But I didn't realize it was happening right when it did. Poor guy had the ring in his hand for about 5 minutes while we were hiking and kept trying to interrupt me but just couldn't get the right moment. He finally desperately asked me to turn around so I would see him holding it. He then dropped to one knee and gave me a brief speech.

    My reaction was to laugh first and say oh, right now?! I figured he was waiting until the end of the hike. Most stressful but enjoyable snowshoe experience because I knew it was about to happen. I cried after he put the ring on. I think I was just smiling the whole time. He actually was just holding the ring after I said yes thinking I'd want to look at it. I was more focussed on a big hug and getting it on my finger for safety so we didn't lose it in the snow!

  • "Are you serious?" .... "Seriously?"

    I had been trying to get him to talk about it for months, and he wouldn't!!! I was convinced it wasn't going to happen any time soon. Apparently, the whole time he was trying to get my grandmother's ring from my parents, they got it cleaned...etc etc it took a long time. And he was just too nervous about it all to talk to me about it haha.

    Then he stood up so quickly (only on one knee for like 2 seconds) because he was still quite nervous and I said yes, haha. I was so unprepared. I hate surprises.
  • That video was great.

    Dh pissed me off right before he asked me. He didn't intend to he was trying to be cute and failed. Anyway I don't remember the first thing I said because I had a huge range of emotions going on but according to dh I said "I hate you. You almost had a pie in the face". 
  • I was super confused. We'd talking about getting married and I knew he had a ring but I thought he'd propose on my birthday (a month later...we had reservations to eat at the restaurant where we first met).

    He hid the ring in one of those Russian nesting dolls (pic attached) and when I opened the last doll I was thinking "this isn't supposed to be in here. Did he buy a broken doll?" After a few seconds my brain connected the dots and I looked at DH and just started crying. He had a cute speech but I totally blanked out from my tears and don't even remember him asking me yo marry him (so I never technically said yes either).

    So I guess we were never technically engaged or something. ;)

  • I'm not much for happy crying, so there were no tears, just shock.  We had dinner at a pub with another couple we are friends with.  He excused himself to go to the bathroom.  When he came back, he had changed into a sport coat and my first response was "What are you doing?  Why are you wearing that?"  Then he blurted out "I love you!"  I had no idea what was going on until our friend said "Get down on one knee and do it right!"  Then it clicked.

    FI says he had an awesome speech planned, but forgot it in the moment.  I said yes, he kissed me, and we got a round of applause from the other patrons at the pub.  Then we walked down the street to another pub for celebratory drinks, where he had a surprise engagement party waiting for me with all our friends and my mom and sister.

  • After a picnic in a state park we went for a bike ride around a lake. We stopped on a wooden bridge to look out over the water and then I heard him say, "well this is as good a time as any so..." I turned around to see him going down on one knee and pulling the ring from his pocket. He then said, "Will you marry me?" I said, "Yes! yes! yes!" And threw my arms around him, kissed him, and as he puts it the ring vanished out of his hand and was on my finger. I do Remember through the joy having this fear the ring would slip from his hand and fall through the slats in the bridge, which spurred me to get it safely on my finger fast. I didn't cry but I had the hugest grin the entire way back, and wile up to that point of the very long bike ride (it was a few miles) I had been starting to get tired I suddenly had so much energy I felt like I could have gone around the loop again.

  • He did it in the middle of the living room of the beach house his family rented for the week of Christmas while no one was looking, until I screamed, pointed and yelled for his mom to look because I needed someone else to confirm that it was actually happening, and tried not to cry. His mom had to prompt me to give an answer, and when I said yes he hugged me and the next thing out of my mouth was, "This makeup isn't waterproof."

    He was apparently supposed to do it at dinner that evening, which we got all fancied up in dress blues for (I thought we were dressed up to take his mother out), but didn't because there was too many people and he knew I'd cry, so he waited until we got home.

  • We had talked about marriage and I had an idea that he had a ring, but I knew nothing about the proposal.  He knew that I wasn't a fan of over the top proposals because I have some anxiety and would be nervous in front of a lot of people.  My husband proposed at home after an episode of the Walking Dead.  It was an episode where Rick was decided on whether or not to trade Michonne to the governor for the greater good of the group.  I remember jokingly asking my husband if he would ever trade me in if I was the weakest link during a zombie apocalypse.  He laughed, said no, and turned off the light.  I heard him get up and go over to the closet, and before I knew it, he was at my bedside telling me that he would always have my back during an apocalypse and asking me to marry him.  I didn't have my glasses on and I couldn't see him.  Between that and the ugly cry, I don't even know if I said yes.

  • Well I asked her and reaction was to go "are you joking right now? Are you being serious?" Then she just went "well fuck yeah yeah I'll marry you" then we made out. In public.
  • I said "What?! You're doing this NOW?! . . . . .Of course!!!" 



    Then after kissing and hugging  . . . I looked at him and held out my hand and said - "Well, Are you going to put the ring on?" and he said "Umm . . . why would I try the ring on??"


    Then he realized I meant to put the ring on my finger. Oops hahahaha

  • He did it one night in our kitchen. My parents gave their approval the night before, and I knew he had the ring. (I helped him pick it out.) that night im laying on the couch watching tv. I saw him go upstairs for a few minutes but didn't think anything of it. Then I see him on the couch next to me, and he says, "Babe, can you make me a cup of coffee?" I begrudgingly get up, and open the container. There's the ring in the coffee scooper! I got all nervous and started shaking. I called out, "um, hon, can you come in here?" He has this big shit ass grin on his face, and I'm pointing yo the ring going, "What's that?" I can't remember exactly what he said, but the next thing I know he says my full name and asks if I'll marry him. I think I said yes. All the while I was choking back tears.

  • I burst into tears.  FI proposed on our vacation in Mexico on the balcony of one of the resort's restaurants.  I remember before he proposed.  He kept saying, "Let's be together forever." And I kept telling him we will be.  And he asked me "When?" And I said, "Well when you propose."  And then he said "Well, let's be together forever."  And I was like, whaaaa??

    And then I realized it was happening and I burst into tears, and I don't remember anything he said, or saying yes.  And then he busted out the ring and put it on me.  

    During dinner he kept trying to get me to go to the bathroom to wash my hands so he could give his phone to the couple next to us to record it, but I didn't go.   Now I wish I had gone!

  • We were at Epcot with future in laws (Mom, Dad, Sister #1 and her husband plus their three kids) and my kids. How on earth he managed to get my girls to not say anything, I do not know. They were just crazy giggly.

    So he gets down on one knee, SIL pokes me to get me to turn around. I see him and start "Why are you on the gr... Oh......" and start crying. The kids start laughing because I was about to go off on him playing on the floor because I'm a clueless one alright.

    DF - So. Um. I had something planned but I have no clue. Em, would you mind marrying me?

    BIL & FIL - That's not how you ask!

    Cue laughter from everyone in the area.

    Me - Of course! Oh stand up already please, I need a hug now.

    So I'm showing everyone the ring and nephew is giving me a look. Finally says "But you haven't said yes!" I love literal minded toddlers.

    Thanks to SIL, this is all on video.
  • Am I the only non-crier of the group? :)  I've always been rather stoic: 

    I knew the proposal was coming and fully expected it to be at some point on our vacation. We'd gone ring shopping together the month before, and my birthday was during our vacation. We were sitting in a park when he sank down on one knee.  I don't remember what he said exactly (it was simply along the lines of "will you marry me") but I sure was staring at that gorgeous ring when I said yes, took it and immediately put it on!

    Then we sat there grinning like fools and I said something like, "We're engaged! You're my fiance! ... This is so cool!"  We had a passer-by take our picture and then went to a pub.

  • @thisismynickname, I'm also not a crier! I don't cry when I'm happy.

    I was totally shocked and was not expecting the proposal. I think I was all "Oh my god, are you serious?!?!?! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" And I started screaming and jumping like a fool.
