[QUOTE="mrscatinthehat, post: 127375, member: 2063"] Well now that is an interesting question. I am on my third. This is one of those things that I look back on and shake my head. My first propsed about 30 minutes after I told him I was pregnant. He took me to a park and out on a bridge at a lake close to our homes and as the sun was setting asked me to marry him. This was pcs dad. This really surprised me and I accepted as I didn't want to have a child alone (the naivety of youth). As I did it all alone anyway. I met someone else while I was going through my divorce. We ended up moving in together. I was working he was not (that should have screamed at me along with many other things). I came home from work and was listening to the messages on the answering machine and he was one of them. Telling me where he was blah blah blah and oh by the way will you marry me came next. I stared at the phone and replayed it several times. Of course after the ring got on the finger I discovered a whole new land of abuse. I have since had those marriages annulled so ......... My real proposal happened on Christmas Eve of 2002. We were exchanging grown up gifts. We were living with friends at the time. husband brought me a box and stayed at my feet. I didn't think anything of it until I opened the box and he took my hands and asked me to marry him. He said he had asked the kids & called my step dad and asked for my hand (I sat there and cried my eyes out ). Of course I said yes. He had been separated from his ex for many years but hadn't file for divorce so we had to wait until that was final. We were planning for a fall wedding with a rennaisance theme. Well when his divorce was over in November he said he wasn't sure he wanted to do that. So I waited and on December 14 he told me he wanted to get married on the 21st and I said of what month and he told me that one. So I planned our wedding in a week and we had it at my sister in law house as she had it decorated for Christmas. The song that ended up playing while we said our vows.........Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. Of all the songs that had to come up during that time but it is our song. We had pumpkin pie for our wedding cake. This year it will be 5 years. What I am looking for is the honeymoon one day. Beth [/QUOTE]
