My boyfriend has been dropping hints over the last 4 weeks that he plans on proposing over the Holiday break. We've waited so far so that he can talk to my parents (a conversation that will be taking place tonight!). So when he gets down on bended knee and asks the question, what am I supposed to say? "Yes" seems so insignificant when you think of what you're agreeing to!

But seriously, you are over thinking this. Don't stress over saying the perfect thing. Say what comes naturally. Besides, you will probably be so overwhelmed, whatever speech you had prepared will go out the window.
I had an idea the proposal was coming but I was still shocked. I don't remember what he said except for "will you marry me?" I kept saying "Oh my god" over and over again.
Say whatever you want to say in that moment. You'll have plenty of time afterwards to say all the meaningful things that come to mind. My fiance and I had a long car ride home after our proposal and we kept sharing more and more the whole way. It was a great day - it lasts much longer than the actual question.. err, lack there of.
EDIT: just in case my proposal came across a bit rough - it wasn't. It was incredibly sweet. My fiance was nervous and excited... I was nervous and excited... and these are the words that came out. I would have had it no other way.
you really dont need to make a speech, yes will work just fine. Thats why we say it!
Trust me, as long as you say something along the lines of "yes", he's going to love it.

You don't need to plan a big speech. Just let the moment happen.

Today was the day and even if I had prepared something (which I didn't) it never would have come out right. He asked, I stated that I was about to cry, said yes, stated that I was crying and then asked if he was sure. Sounds about right, from what I read above! It wasn't eloquent, but it was true to us and I'm no longer stressed!
