My s/o had just bought the ring and was planning to ask me the next day in front of my family but he just couldn't wait. We were sitting in his living room holding hands and talking and all of the sudden he got down on one knee told me how much i meant to him, how much he loved me and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me... all with tears in his eyes. <3
It wasn't anything big or grand at all. In fact, it was rather spur of the moment. He was planning on waiting for Valentine's Day, but for some reason popped the question while we were at a small Italian restaurant on a random Friday night in January. I don't even remember the exact date at this point. That was way back in 1994.
He had asked "jokingly" before than but I just never saw myself getting married but when I got preggers was like might as well. It's been 6 years now 7 in November :)
On our 1st Thanksgiving together. RIght before dinner, with like 15 of my family members.
He made dinner at his place complete with candles and wine... I was suspicious. ;-) Later we sat out on the porch swing and he went in to "get more wine". He came out, got on bended knee, and... his clueless nephew drove up (his nephew's older than I am and he works with him), jumped out of his truck and started talking shop. lol Phil said, "Let's talk over here" and went around the side of the house and clued his nephew in. Nephew left and Phil finally got to propose. It was 7/14/98. We were married 11/22/98.
We had gone for a walk after dinner, and on a street corner, he got down on one knee and proposed.
