Did you know he was going to ask????

[tinkandonaldfans]

Did you know before your husband/fiance was going to propose that he was going to propose?

Was it a complete surprise or did you think he was acting fishy and kinda knew what was coming?

My boyfriend is acting very strange and I am starting to wonder what he's up to and wanted to know if anyone thought the same

 

[malibustacey]

I had a strange feeling he was going to ask me when i was travelling upto him to meet him on the day he came to London to ask me... i remember sitting on the train and thinking.. what is he going to do? why has he come down? oh my god he is going to ask to marry me! then i was thinking to myself, i cant get too excited - he isnt going to ask me, then i had thoughts of 'omg he is going to dump me' ... if you read my proposal in the first post of my pj- you will see that he came down to london to see me SO UNEXPECTEDLY... it was wierd but i had this feeling he might! but at the time, when he ACTUALLY ASKED me... i had forgotten all about my feelings of him asking me and yay i was happy!

 

[gemmybear83]

Yes....but I didnt know when, we had been discussing it for a while, had already bought a house together etc so it was the next stage (not the most romantic way of looking at it!).

I picked the ring around Christmas time as I was so fussy Henry wanted to have what I wanted, and wanted to propose with a ring.

He booked a surprise weekend away for me and proposed He didnt act differently - and had even been to the cabin he proposed at the month before to check it out and make sure it was nice enough

I had an inkling, but that could because the jewellers rang our house and I picked up, when they were told not to ring. He covered it up well with a story about his sister's birthday, which threw me off completely, but I had also found the proposal package at Discovery Cove on our Internet History, so it was on my mind, but once I was at DC I didn't have a clue, and was so wrapped up in the dolphins, I didn't know until it actually happened. Acting funny may be one tell tale sign, but I think it depends on your BF's normal behaviour pattern. Fingers crossed for you tho!!

 

[tinkandonaldfans]

thanks for the replies! good to know I'm not alone in being suspicious!

Its just that he got touchy when i looked at his iPhone at the weekend(which normally isn't a problem) and he's had an added interest in times and places of where we are eating on our next trip which is so completely unlike him. Birthdays, anniversarys etc have all passed so have no other reason why he might be acting odd. Maybe it will be a holiday surprise which would be nice!

or maybe he is odd and I have only just noticed after 6 years!

I picked out my ring, so yes, I knew it was coming. LOL

 

[MainStMandy]

Yes and no. We had gone ring shopping (which he suprised me with) but he kept playing it off like maybe closer to Christmas or even further. Then about a month later he totally suprised me on a Sunday night. He didn't act very strange until we were on the way there.

Always keep open the possibility that we, as men, are just being odd. I hope, however, that it's a great holiday surprise.

I knew it was coming...We had picked out the ring. When I got home from my internship the fed ex box was sitting on the floor. Our conversation was awkward and then he told me to sit down....he went and got the ring and asked me to marry him.

I'm glad I knew it was coming b/c I remember what he said when he asked. That was important to me.

 

[dhay]

I had a suspicion because we had been talking about marriage and he brought me to look at ring a few months before to make sure he knew what I liked. We owned a house together and everythign so it is hard to hide some of this stuff when you are already living together and owning.

And we work together (diff depts- I am in sales he is accounting) so when I saw that he was away from his desk and IM for over 2 hours the day before our Disney vaca my suspicion grew and he is not a good liar so when I asked him where he was he was kind of cagey.

BUT I did not know how and where and when etc so there was still and element of surprise and it was a perfect night for us.

 

[OilyStars]

I knew he was going to ask, but I didn't know when.

We had gone ring shopping and I picked out the setting, the stone, everything... I absolutely *love* my ring!! So of course, I couldn't wait to wear it....

We bought the ring in May, he asked me July 4th! So I had to wait a little... but it was worth it.

 

[torsie24]

Hee, yeah I totally knew! Very un-romantic I know!

Jack knew better than to pick a ring himself so we shopped for it together. Then when we got to our Hotel at DLRP there was a very square, lumpy looking sock in the room safe!!

And on the morning he did it he was at the safe for ages, while I pretneded not to notice and spent AGES putting my socks and boots on! Then he dissappeared from breakfast for like 20 minutes saying he needed the toilet!

I still wouldn't change my proposal for the world though, as it was the most special moment ever, and knowing it was coming didn't detract anything from it! Maybe it made it better in fact as I was really ready to savour it!

 

[tinkandonaldfans]

Torsie, you're the first who actually knew when and where. I think you and i are very similar with our sneaky spidey senses! I have this feeling I would be able to spot the signs but i'm glad it didn't spoil it knowing!

Like other on here me and James have been living together for several years and last year bought a flat (aka apartment) together so this would be the next step for us and we have mentioned it several times

James took me to Tiffany's about a year ago and we picked out the ring i would like. He made me go away so he could speak to the man who I think gave him prices.He has since been saving up for the amount he has in mind and I think he's there or very close!

So the last couple of special occassions have gone by when i thought that it might happen but hasn't. So I have tried to try to stop thinking about it. but he is acting odd and wonder whether the holiday might be the time!

It would be so amazing if he did, but I will put on my sensible hat so i don't get disappointed if he doesn't!

 

[PrincessShea]

Yes I knew because I helped DH pick out the ring. I'm really picky about jewelry.

As far as when it was going to happen, I didn't really know. One day in early June DH came home in a suit and said "get dressed." He booked a little cruise here on the lake. It was kind of stressful because I had no nice dresses and we had to make a super quick run to the mall.

So anyway we have the dinner. After dinner we go out to the deck and watch the fireworks they do at night at Navy Pier. It was nice. No proposal though.

I find out later that he planned to propose that night. He went to tell my dad and my dad was like "NO DON'T DO IT. She always wanted it to happen in Disney!" I honestly would not have cared and would of course had said yes if he did it that night. But because of my father the proposal happened a few weeks later when we went to Disney in front of Cinderella's Castle.

Ooooh so exciting! If is he isnt proposing I really hope he has another really nice surprise for you

 

[MegKate]

I didn't know. I just came out of the shower to the living room on Christmas morning with no makeup on or anything. Everyone was acting weird and that's when he asked me! No pictures or anything from it. BAH!

 

[JandJ]

I had no idea! We both knew we'd get married some day; we talked about it, but I figured he would propose around our 1-year anniversary. He did at 9 months on a weekend trip and it was a complete surprise to me. In hindsight, he was acting very strange that weekend but I totally didn't think a proposal was coming! He had asked me what kinds of rings I liked for a few months before he proposed and later he told me he bought the ring after we'd been together for only 6 months! He did a perfect job with the ring - beyond all my expectations

 

[acwinsett]

I didn't have a clue! We never even discussed marriage before the proposal. I thought Brian never wanted to get married. Whenever he decided to propose, he kept it a big secret for about 5 months. So, I got the surprise of a lifetime whenever he pulled out a ring and dropped to one knee when we were supposed to be having photos made in front of Cinderella Castle!

 

[Wish on a Star]

Well I had my wedding booked before we were engaged, so I can't say that I was shocked.

I really didnt want to lose my date, and the vacation had been planned for years, so when we decided it would be the PERFECT wedding.

I wanted it to be a surprise, and I think that DFi wanted it too, so I said "Propose whenever, just as long as it's before October 8,2009." But then he went and bought my ring using our joint account. Oh boys! (It's the attention to details)

I'll never let on that I knew

 

[Handbag Lady]

My husband was a total spaz the day he proposed. I mean really, WHO picks TWELVE different spots to watch IllumiNations? Not only that, but starts talking about it at lunchtime?

I, as usual, had no clue so I was really shocked. He even did it with a ring that I loved. (Yeah, I love jewelry but DH knows my style.)
