Oh l love to share stories....I know of only two family members proposals.
My cousin. She worked in real estate and morgaging.....every week people in her company would get on a radio station to answer questions people may have about it all. They had her on the station and told her that they had a call from a man who had a question for her. As she was waiting, she hears her husband (boyfriend) on the other end....she was like "What are you doing?" And he said "Well I have a question for you," starts talking about his feelings for her and how much she means to him and then says "Will you marry me?" And of coarse she said yes. All on air! It was sweet. Then they played their song over the radio as she went to see him in another room to get the ring!
My Uncle. He wanted something really romantic and he just didn't know what to do. He thought about taking her to dinner and putting the ring in her champaigne.......well he did take her out to dinner. They went out for Chinese....he had a fortune cookie made with the ring inside with a note asking her to marry him. Isn't that sweet?! I'm sure there was more to that, but that's all I know and I thought it was so sweet and must have taken some time to find someone to make the fortune cookie!
This is how James wanted to propose......he told me after our wedding day and tells me that he wished he had done it.
When we worked at Sony we had four on and four off schedule.....and we would accumulate time off...he wanted to take a day off saying he was sick and while I was at work, had planned on buying dozens of roses....make a trail of petals all the way upstairs to our room, have the room all done up with roses, candles and soft music and as I would get home see all that, follow the trail and see him waiting on his knee with a ring. I cried just hearing the story!! He had planned to do this the month that Sony closed...and not knowing that it was closing was a surprise to us and he says that Sony ruined it all.
I just laughed and said it was the sweetest idea I have heard......then he tells me......we have anniversaries...............
Hmmmm.....wonder which anniversary it will be???
