How did your engagement come about? Did you just come to a decision to get engaged, go out and buy a ring? Did your DF/DH surprise you with a proposal? Or did YOU propose? Or no engagement at all, straight to the wedding?

[Sinister Bonnet]

DH said to me if I ask you to marry me will you? And I said yes. Last of the old romantics he is.

No ring, we were married 6 months later.

[Excentrique]

we came to a decision together. same way we discuss everything important now.

a formal proposal came after, but its that time discussing it together which is a much more special memory to me.

i worked in a jewellery store, i knew his budget, and found a ring i loved instore that fitted the budget. i layby'd it, gave him the receipt, and he paid it off. we then just accepted that we were engaged (don't worry, we did much the same when we started dating, i still tease him he never actually asked me out, he did end up asking me to marry him when pregnant with DS, by that stage though it was just a formality).

wedder/eternity were chosen exactly the same way, i knew what i wanted and he just went along with it

Not married but am engaged...

We talked about getting married once day... his actual proposal was a surprise. He didn't do it with a ring because he knew that I wanted to use Mum's diamond. He proposed with a box of chocolates and a homemade card

He popped the question in a very informal setting with little forethought - I said maybe and we discussed it and then went and chose a ring together.

We talked about marriage while we were dating, even did a pre-marriage course together. He said he would propose by the end of the year. But I didn't know when it would happen. It was December 18th, and a surprise with the timing and how it was done.

The ring was my grandmother's, so he'd had to see my parents (to ask their blessing) and then go with my Dad to see my grandparents and get the ring before asking me! I knew nothing about all that part until after we were engaged.

[WhimsicalDragonf...]

We openly spoke about wanting to get married so it was on the cards, the proposal though was a complete surprise. I know it sounds improbable but I really was surprised. It was really sweet and something he had been planning and working on for weeks, when he said he was 'working back'! We chose the ring together (he knew this was my preference, and I think it took a lot of pressure off him).

[elle-M]

We had talked about it a lot before, I knew it would happen one day. He surprised me with a bended knee proposal in the ocean with a ring he'd designed himself.

Very lucky girl!! We are coming up to our third wedding anniversary this month and have baby #3 on the way
