What's the most unusual marriage proposal you've ever received/offered?

My once future (now ex) hubby bought a bag of bear claws and two coffees to sit with me on the bus to work. He opened the bag, looked down into it as if he was going to be sick, then looked up and said, "Marry me?" with big hopeful eyes. I gave him a good long look, trying to see if he was doing this bc he knew it was my last week there, bc he knew another guy had also just proposed, or bc he knew that was the only way to unlock the chastity belt. I took a sip of coffee and told him to eat his bear claw. We sat quietly till he got through about half of it, closed the bag again and looked at me. "Well?" I laughed, blushed beet red and said "Ok." He smiled, sat back and ate all the bear claws.

(Though we're not together anymore, every year I tell the story to our kids bc I want them to know that there WAS a sweet part before the crazy nasty violent attitude they witnessed from him towards the end. It's the moment that reminds me not to regret the rest of it.)

It was my wife and it's, we were at a dueling piano bar, and I wrote a note "do you love me, do you want to be my wife, check yes or no" and slid it across to her with the ring box. She checked yes and put the ring on, we stood up, hugged and kissed. The dueling piano people noticed and brought us up on stage and played. Though neither of us can remember what was played lol.

Lol. I love that.

I haven’t had one. Hope I do when the guy I am with now when we are done with school.

Lol, side note. The (18-24) pink anon that never allows replies and always answers every question first is a liar. She spammed this not to long ago saying she has a husband. XD

What are your real life goals and why do you want to keep living?

[DishLady]

Interesting. You're sure it's the same pink anon? Some of them are actually in their 40s and have fake profiles masquerading as 18-24 anon.

I never really proposed to my wife. We both just knew how it was going to end up/ Truthfully at the time I thought it was pretty cool but now I really wish that I made a bigger deal about it.

She proposed to me after like a month because she thought I was never going to do it, so she was going to do it for me.

Thankful I didn't marry.

I am sooooo not ready to be proposed to, and twice together is just unfathomable lol

[DishLady]

We were all about to graduate and I think he was more nervous about being alone in the real world than he was about being married. The other guy was about to head off to the military so he had a little to do list and "get married" was apparently on it the way "buy a mini fridge for the dorm" is for your generation. I of course didn't entertain the military guy's offer bc it was too intense. I think both guys just liked that I looked like a gal who knew what she was doing in life... and if she didn't she'd damned well figure it out... "My guy" was on the directionless side (which I didn't understand back then), so the appeal of being with a bossy little manager type appealed to him, I guess.

To you I'll advise, your moment will come. Don't rush into anything. Take more time to think than a short bus ride to work!

I am in no rush at all. Ignore Abby who thinks all 18-24 anons are the same person. The idea of marriage is scary until after I finish college.

[DishLady]

Abby is a friend. Let's all just stay calm.

Even after college. Give yourself time to breathe. Don't try to sink into the life-long commitment of marriage till after you're 25. We're not neurologically complete till then. Anything earlier is TOO SOON and one of the core causes of divorce in my generation and my parents' generation as well.
