Do you worry about this?

I can honestly say that never once crossed my mind. Although I am very jealous that you can walk around without a bra.

DH proposed to me in the kitchen. It was very sweet. But he still proposes to me now and then whenever we''re somewhere pretty! In gardens! On mountain tops! Wherever! Sometimes I propose to him too just for fun.
 
I was terrified about this! I kept getting my nails filled and stuff and my SO told me to stop...he said he was going to do it when I least expected it, when my hair was a mess and my makeup wasn't perfect, etc. I was sooo terrified!! But, I think he was just pulling my leg. HOWEVER we are going on a huge trip next week and I think it might be THE trip, and I have these two huge nasty underground zits on my chin!!! I'm so depressed about it.

PS: I'm also really worried about my reaction, especially if I realize ahead of time, because he wants it to be a total surprise. I want to sort of laugh/cry, but I'm afraid I'll just be sitting there with a stunned look on my face!! Or laugh it off because I'm too afraid to let it hit me!
 
If it''s important to you, how you look, what you''re wearing, etc. PLEASE tell your SO BEFORE it happens. I have a friend who was proposed to in the bathtub. Not a great story for the kids....
 
i have already made "requests" to my BF that he wait for a moment when i am not looking lame or acting like a brat. he says he will wait until the moment is right, but he has a particular time in mind that my fam has heard about already. Since I have no clue what he has up his sleeve, I live every day in semi-fear!! (happy fear of course!). we leave july for a europe trip, so i am planning to "look my best" each day in case he is crazy enough to do it sometime then!

on a side note, my cousin is the sweetest guy, but he proposed on a cruise to his girl when she was cold and mad because it was so windy that her hair was flying everywhere. i think he needed that to be the moment (her family was waiting to surprise her) so he followed through and she of course accepted happily. so sometimes the moment is not perfect but the people themselves make it right!
 
I want to look immaculate when my proposal happens! Lol. I''m away from BF this summer for an internship, so now every time I see him I make sure my hair is perfect and makeup is right. Not that I do that usually. Also I''ve been getting regular manis *just in case* so I can take pics right away :) soooo exciting. Hopefully I won''t have a huge pimple or something.
 
I used to. Then I realized that whenever it happens, it will be perfect.. !! He has seen me SO many times without make up, or in dirty clothes, or no bra- messy hair- and half naked.. that I;m sure it''ll be fine. He loves me the way I am, and no amount of perfect clothing, or manicure, or anything will change that..

NOW ideally, I''d love to look good for the pictures.. BUUT... My smile will say it all! Eeek! I''m getting fuzzies thinking about this right now. Less than three months away!

He told me tonight that he knows how he''s going to propose and roughly when! But that''s it. No details. But I love the fact that he actually has a PLAN now instead of "oh god, it''s coming up"

Only recently. I''m a never wear makeup kind of girl who likes to get her mani/padi when the price is right, but barely keep it up. And by that I mean, I''ll get everything done one month and then the nail polish hangs around for another 4 weeks, while I proclaim, it''s not that noticable, until it IS really ugly and either remove it or go back. So, I''ve been imagining that if he did decide to propose all of a sudden, I sure would want my nails looking nice, be it polished or plain. Anything else, hair, dress, shoes, bra...would be too much for me. I''d love to be all glam, but the reality is, I''d drive myself nuts thinking I needed to be "on" all the time. Plus, I know he loves me all the same, if not more, when I''m dressed down for around the house.

I think it''s easy to get caught up in the whole thing but seriously, it''s not a catwalk - it''s a proposal! The guy who is asking has seen you all in PJs, messy hair, zits and no bras - if he is anything like my man he will think you are simply gorgeous when you first get up in the morning, face all pillow crinkly, no make-up and no bra (hell, it''s easy access

).

I couldn''t care less if I was naked, I hope that when he says those magic words, we will be looking into each other''s eyes and not caring where we are or what we are wearing.

I''m a non carer as well. He can do it whenever he feels the need. Heck, if I''m wandering around the house nakey I don''t care-although I think it''d be weird, but whatever. Knowing him he''ll probably do it when I''m in sweats, so I''m not too worried about it.


And FYI, when he asks we''re cutting off all contact with the outside world for a couple of days-not telling anyone right away and just bask in post-engagement happiness by ourselves for a bit. So if all of a sudden I''m not on PS for a day or two...you guys know whats up. Especially being that I''m always on here.

Freke, I''m the same way [:D] When FI proposed, we spent that day not telling anyone. The next day I wanted to tell EVERYONE, but it felt wrong to tell my friends before telling my parents. Then I couldn''t get a hold of my parents for a bit, so it took me about 4 days to post on PS

LOL,

I always thought that if he ever proposed it would be sitting on the south bank of the Thames by Tower Bridge watching the sunset.

We do this quite often, and even though I didn''t think he''d ever propose I did used to make a bit of an effort just in case!

Well, when he did propose:

I had spent the whole of Dec 23rd wrapping presents for both my and his enormous families - he was asleep as he ''couldn''t sleep the night before''

.

I hadn''t actually bothered getting up bar brushing my teeth - I was still wearing snoopy pyjamas, hadn''t brushed my hair or put any make-up on at all.

So I looked at about my worst when he proposed - I am not like my BFF who is french and can look ''chic'' in pyjamas, I wear them with all the sex appeal and sophistication of Bridget Jones!

Well, at least he got the real me!
 
I am all about looking good in pictures, having a good story to tell people...seriously. If I don''t think I look fantastic, nobody will see the picture. Thankfully, BF has taught me that sometimes fantastic isn''t looking like a model, it''s looking like I''m totally thrilled with whatever I''m doing/whoever I''m with. Even when it''s not the most...ahem...flattering angle.

As a result, I''m opting not to care. I mean, sure, it''s a while away, but I love the idea of spending the day just basking in it, and keeping the details private. We can take pictures when we go out to celebrate with people, and I can take all the time on my make-up that I want that way, and things can still be done on his terms.
 
I figure as long as I wasn''t on the loo or throwing up or something else as equally horrendous I wouldn''t care :).

At the end of the day it is about you and him :)
 
I never even thought about this until I read this thread. I figured it wouldn''t be a big deal, how bad could it be, until last night I opened my door and there was my BF''s bestfriend standing there all dressed up with flowers in one hand and shopping bag in another. I hadn''t washed my hair, had no make up, was in my old PJ''s with holes in them, and just worked 6 hours straight and was feeling really gross and bleary eyed. I quickly remembered this thread and freaked!

Luckily he had an hour calculated for me to get ready and the shopping bag contained a dress my BF picked out for the special night. What a scare that was though!

As for what happened after, I''ll have to post about that in a separate thread

You know, I never worried about any of this stuff til I saw this thread! LOL.

Though, we aren''t huge picture people anyway... so we''d prob just snap a few for ourselves and then maybe pretty up for some more ''official'' pics.
 
My husband proposed to me at 10:30 pm on a Saturday night- in my pjs after I had washed my face and gotten ready for bed! I then proceeded to hyperventilate when he got down on one knee. We''ve been married a year and a half and he still teases me about it- but thankfully- the proposal does not make the marriage!
 
I''m not gonna lie. I told FI that I would REALLY prefer it to be when I would look nice. So the sneaky boy did it before I thought I was going to the mall because he knows I always dress up when I go out. (Private school habit that I just can''t seem to break) Worked like a charm!
