My husband asked me in private after Christmas Eve mass. No big show, just an honest declaration of love and a beautiful ring. He”s still my one and only 25 years later. She’s just upset she had to propose to him!
My nephew was engaged and married a couple of years ago and according to my brother the would be bride wanted to be proposed to in the new cool way. Both sets of parents and siblings present and their closest friends. My brother was put off by it all but went. I told him, this is between him and her, not the world. They are happily married though.
I met my wife in June, she walked into church and sat down in the pew in front of me. I proposed to her at the lake on a moon lite night, with just me and her present that September, we married in November and have been happy for the past twenty-five years. Although during the courtship at one point I asked her a question about doing something with me, it was not any big deal I thought, nothing sexual and she popped out, will you marry me first? I didn’t bat an eye and said, sure. She was busy for the next twenty minutes, embarrassed and babbling incoherently that she was sorry, she didn’t mean to do that. I said to her, I said yes, let it go. A month later I did the lake proposal.
