Do you remember the proposal?

That’s where my engagement and wedding rings were bought in 1974 Daddima .No proposal just a should get married ,and we did A year to the day from our first date.

Just a remark that we should get married.

Under a lamp post outside my parents' house.
DH was under the weather 🍺 and said. I will dance at your wedding..
I asked why. I'm going to marry you, he said. That was it.
My engagement ring was bought in Saul Bercot's in Argyll Arcade.
Some of my husband's staff had followed him from the office, to Boots Corner, because they suspected he was up to something.

Nice to see you posting, paddyann.

We had facing desks in our office, in mid June going through our diaries found Friday 13th free for the both of us along with the following week for a honeymoon we agreed to get married. Not romantic, but it worked for us.

(after a meeting with our accountant who in no uncertain terms said we really should get married for tax purposes and for our (then) four children)

Nice to see you posting, paddyann.

And you, MaryDoll 😊

My Scottish boyfriend suggested, while we were driving in London, I think, that we went to Scotland at Easter and get married there. It came as a surprise. We hadn't known eachother very long.

It was February. We did marry that Easter but in London. We came to live in Scotland 6 years and 2 DC later.

Oh yes I remember it well.

A mixture of romantic and unromantic!
OH had been on a diving course in Plymouth. He was hoping to be offered a two year stint in Seychelles as a Junior Resident Engineer. We had been living together for a year. If I went with him as a single woman the company wouldn’t pay. So, on his return from the course, OH asked me to marry him. This was 1 May. We bought an engagement ring and paid half each. On May 29 we were married - OH bought the wedding ring. In early June we flew to Seychelles.

My ex husband proposed on our first date. In fairness we had worked closely for 2 years.
We married 6 weeks later. The marriage lasted 10 years.
He went onto marry 4 more women after me.
Me and our daughter numbered them, it was easier than remembering their names 😂
I’ve been my partner 46 years.

No proposal, just a casual remark "This is daft, we should get married" in the bar at work one day (yes, the building had its own bar and several restuarants/cafes!) This was two months after we met, and we married three months later...

That casual remark was followed by another one about half an hour later - "Do you want me to buy you a ring?" Stupidly, I declined!

My ex husband and I agreed together that we would get married. Daddima my engagement ring was from McGowan's in the Argyll Arcade too! It cost £50 on a special deal (we were both still students).

Sitting on a sea wall, rolling a ciggie.

In an old pub, now a private house, near Epping Forest, with a floor that did not lend itself to going down on one knee, I popped the question and proposed a date. DW to be spotted a ring she liked a couple of days later, and that was that. Fifty-one years' marriage, and I am now a widower.

We climbed up to the top of the Scott Monument in Edinburgh, and when we got there, he proposed!

"If we get married before I go away, we'll get a married quarter" 😁 We went together to buy the ring and I did suggest a more romantic proposal would be good so he obliged on a grey, windy day overlooking the sea.

No recollection whatsoever.

We were in a Chinese grocery store in Singapore getting a few things.
I said, "This feels like being an old married couple!"
He said, "Should we be?"

We had been going out for about 6 weeks.
Happily together for 49 years, married for 46.

We were in Blackpool and my DH said let’s get married, I said something like ok.
We may have been eating chips at the time.

We had both been skirting the issue for sometime, and then we agreed it. I can rmemeber it was in my bedsit, but that is about all.

I thought we were odd in reaching the marriage decision in such an offhand way. I am delighted to find that I am one of many.

We'd been going out a fortnight. we were waiting for a bus to take me home. He asked me and I said yes....that was fifty nine years ago this month. We've been married for nearly 57 years now.

Perhaps the big showy proposal came into fashion at about the same time as social media became popular.

I said one evening we ought to get married for tax purposes, MrJ said ok, a few months later we did, that was nearly 18 years ago.

He was due to be posted. I was due to be posted. The prospect of a long distance relationship was tearing us both to pieces, so one night, in the pouring rain, he proposed and I said yes. We got married, I gave up my posting and joined him on his and we lasted 56 years until death did us part.
