Crying spinoff- did you cry when you were proposed to?

jenna8984 · September 2014

I did. I'm normally pretty stone cold at weddings and movies and didn't expect myself to cry when he proposed but I totally did!
And then I was glad he did it in our home (not in public) because we immediately got it on. Haha

southernbelle0915 · September 2014

Yes. Big time. He was saying Notebook-level sweet stuff (like about wanting to be parents together, grandparents together, taking care of each other...). I was probably ugly crying.

holyguacamole79 · September 2014

I didn't. I had a shitty big smile on my face and just squealed.

luckya23 · September 2014

Nope, I laughed both times - when he brought it up (because of what he said) and when my ring finally came almost 2 months later and he gave it to me (because of what I said).

falsara · September 2014

Well he had proposed two times before ( there were a couple months in between each one) and I thought he was joking then. So when he proposed the last time and actually got down on one knee. I got all smiley and was laughing.

huskypuppy14 · September 2014

Yup and I'm not a crier.

Inkdancer · September 2014

Oh yeah. People walking by didn't know what to make of us, mud-splattered and crying and grinning like morons.

KnightsNurse · September 2014

I'm not a big crier either so I was curious beforehand how it would go down...We were scuba diving during the actual proposal (he tapped me on the shoulder and had a "will you marry me?" sign ready and waiting). So with the being underwater situation I didn't cry, but when we got back to shore and I saw the ring the whole moment really caught up with me and I got teary eyed...

JCbride2015 · September 2014

Nope. Black heart, remember? ;-D I think I said, "For reals???"

I did cry during my first therapy session after the hurricane, a few weeks later. I had just told her all this terrible stuff about what happened and she asked whom I lived with. I teared up telling her about Fi. So I'm not a total ice queen.

beethery · September 2014

oh man I fucking uuuuuuuuuuuuugly cried.

kaitlynmichelle · September 2014

I did after. Poor guy had been carrying the ring box in his hand for over 5 minutes as we were snowshoeing through a forest and finally begged me to turn around (I knew it was going to happen and was all giddy and chatting away). I think I had a big grin the whole time and once he said we should take a picture I started crying really hard.

Our wedding is in 17 days and I keep getting weepy thinking about it. I'll probably ugly cry the whole ceremony.

lurkergirl · September 2014

Nope. But we went ring shopping together, and it wasn't really surprise.

It was also super surreal to me. I felt like I was waking through a dream for a few days. I do cry when I listen to our first-dance song, and I am sure I will be a mess at my own wedding.

pinkshorts27 · September 2014

Nope, but when I'm surprised I don't show emotion. That is just the way I am.

LadyMillil · September 2014

I cried. DH has never seen people happy cry before so he thought I was upset and sad.

jdluvr06 · September 2014

Nope. He pissed me off right before he proposed so I after I said yes I think I laughed and told him I hated him. Lol.

goldchocobo.defunct635829490514903826 · September 2014

I did the stupid "fan the face and nod really fast" shit. I'm mad at myself for being a cookie-cutter proposal responder.

cupcait927 · September 2014

All the tears. But I'm a crier anyway. He got down on one knee to pop the question and I started crying happy movie tears. So we hugged and kissed and then he told me that he had asked my dad for his blessing earlier in the week and then came the ugly crying. That just melted my heart because my dad is such a huge part of my life. I can't even imagine how hard I'm going to cry on my wedding day.

hellosweetie1015 · September 2014

I didn't realize what was happening at first, because he gave me a necklace to which the ring was attached. I was fascinated by the necklace and was stretching it out to put it on when the ring slid down the chain into my sight.

I don't really remember the next five minutes so clearly. I don't even know if I actually SAID yes, although I am pretty confident he got the gist anyway, haha....

daria24 · September 2014

I teared up a little bit, but I'm not a "happy" crier. I only cry when I'm sad.

wrigleyville · September 2014

I started laughing and said, "Oh my GOD. Are you kidding me?!?"

Luckily, he knows me well and didn't take that the wrong way. He knew I was surprised, as we'd been together for five years and I'd come to a point where I figured it would never happen.

I was still laughing when he stood back up and kissed me. I don't think I ever actually said, "Yes," because it just felt so cheesy. I just kept saying, "Oh my god... oh my god...," over and over. Then I put the ring on and squealed and danced around a bit.

We were on one of those party yachts for the Fourth of July, in Chicago, so there were a ton of people around. A few people took pictures while he was proposing, which was so awesome! I thanked them a million times and gave them my number so they could text them to me. Thank you, random strangers with smartphones.

Cookie Pusher · September 2014

Nope, that black heart of mine had no feels. I did spend 10 minutes negotiating terms before saying yes, though.

CMGragain · September 2014

No, I was in shock. We had only been together about four days, though we had known each other well since we were 15. It was completely unexpected. I had sense enough to say "Yes!" Cry? Hell, no!

AddieCake · September 2014

Nope. I was incredibly confused. My husband proposed to me by changing our FB relationship statuses while I was asleep, and I woke up to a bunch of congratulatory comments and didn't really know what was going on.

Wow! He must've been pretty sure you would say yes!

BOX

I ugly cried. Also, I never even said yes right away. I was too busy asking if it was real. LOL

EDIT: The proposal, not the ring. The was that I phrased it makes me sound like a jackass.

jynxiie · September 2014

Nope. I just got really excited and kissed him lots. Then of course said yes.

WinstonsGirl · September 2014

Nope. He had me out in -35C and was trying to get the nerve to ask. I was freezing my ass off hoping he would hurry up so I could get back in the car.

sophhabobopha · September 2014

Well I didn't have a proposal. We just decided and ordered me a ring. His sister cried when we told her. I still tease her about that (:

mrs4everhart · September 2014

No. But there really wasn't a proposal. We went out with friends to a local bar and ended up in our umpteenth conversation about getting married. We ended up pulling out our phones, opening our calendars and picking a date!

Then we kind of laughed, high fived, did a shot and realized we had just set a wedding date. We let people know over the next few days. It became sort of "real" when he changed his FB status and we were swamped with congrats. It took us both by surprise and our initial reaction was very, "congrats for what?"

We confirmed with each other the next morning to make sure we were both still down when completely sober. That was almost a funnier conversation than the one in the bar the night before.

The ring had to wait another 7 months. But it was worth the wait and I wanted to design myself anyway, so it worked out well.

JennyColada · September 2014

Yes. I cried on and off for like 3 hours that night. It was a little absurd.

KytchynWitche · September 2014

I think I laughed when FI proposed, but mostly because it was spontaneous and he didn't have a ring for me, so he popped the cap ring off his water bottle. It was cute and funny, and very, very us.

I did cry when I called my mom to tell her though.
