Ladies - Did you say YES right away?

[kenny]

It hardly seem fair he gets all the time in the world to decide if he wants to marry you but that if you take any more than two seconds to scream, "YES!" it is some kind of insult.
Did any of you say, "Give me some time." ??

 

[JCJD]

I said yes immediately. We''d talked about it a LOT during the past 3 years of our then-7 year relationship.

 

[Kaleigh]

I said yes and then cried!!!! I''m a baby!!!!

 

[mrssalvo]

His proposal was out of the blue and a complete surprise. after, asking him "are you serious?'' I said yes right away

 

[moremoremore]

given that i picked out the ring, I said yes right away LOL
part of me thinks that when she says "i'lk think about it" there might be a problem. If two people are at that stage of the game when he man feels strongly enough to buy the ring, and the couple hasn't discussed marriage so that she 'has to think about it', then, there might be issues there!

 

[glaucomflecken]

I never technically said yes...I was so shocked all I could get out was "OK"!!! But it was after I stopped crying and laughing about 5 minutes later!

 

[pearcrazy]

We sort of came to a mutual decision to get married. By the time he got the ring and formally proposed in front of my parents it was certainly no surprise to anyone.

 

[ame]

I believe I said " I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT. yes"

 

[Momoftwo]

I think most guys wait til they know it will be an immedite yes anyway.

 

[FD21Bride]

My first words where "Oh my God...you''re kidding right?" Just because I had been waiting for so long that when the moment finally came I was in disbelief!

After repeating that statement a few times I snatched the ring from his hand and after he sat back down he said...."SO...that''s a yes, right?"

 

[laney]

After 8 years - of course I said yes right away.

I too agree - most guys wait until they know they have a yes... (or least it seems)

My husband just told me on the first night we met that he was going go to marry me, which is almost exactly 14 years ago this week. It took him over years to talk me into it...I don''t know why, but I may be the only girl that didn''t want a big white wedding! But, I do want the big white diamonds though!!!

So, he didn''t really actually ever have to "propose"! Think I should make him do it when I get my upgrade from Whiteflash in 2 weeks? My 11.3 year anniversary upgrade as I''m starting to call it! Supposed to have been the 10th year upgrade!

 

[AChiOAlumna]

I said "yes" right away, but I also knew the proposal was coming as we talked about it, chose the ring together and he was nervous as anything the whole day of the proposal, so I had the whole day to prepare for it myself (he was making me nervous!!!).

 

[kaylagee]

I said 'yes' immediately! It felt like it had taken *forever* already(we'd been dating a little over 2.5 years, long-distance, international)

 

[Dancing Fire]

my GF slaped me across the face

and ask....do i look stupid to you? maybe i should answer that question after 19 yrs.

 

[flower12]

Ummmmm
I might be only one who didn''t say YES...

I told him that I don''t know , want to think about it.

I saied YES couple month later....

 

[Logan Sapphire]

I said yes right away. Like many others, we''d talked about marriage exhaustively, so there was no doubt. Still, hubby says he was nervous, despite being 100% guaranteed of a yes.

 

[michela002]

First I said, "Are you kidding?" Then I said, "No, really, are you kidding?!"

Once I got done with that, there was a "DUH!"

Then he kept saying "Is that a yes, is that a yes?" to which of course it was!

 

[IrishEyes]

I just started laughing when he got down on his knee! I believe I said "get up silly!" or something, but he stayed on his knee and said some wonderful words and got teary (he''s always the one to tear, I just laugh!!) and I kissed him and said "yes, of course I''ll be your wife" It was really a great experience!!

If I were a guy and was planning on proposing, I would definitely wait until I knew for sure she was going to say yes!

Flower, Did he propose really soon? I think it can be a good thing to take some time to agree! Looking back, perhaps I was a bit too anxious for my own good. He didn''t even have a ring yet! LOL!

My great-grandmother wasn''t 100 percent sure and made my great-grandfather wait for a decision too. They had the best marriage in famliy history as far I know.

A quality man can certainly tolerate a bit of torture! heeheehe!

 

[dazedland]

We had been together for exactly 4 years when he asked me and I knew he was doing it that night, he was nervous even though he knew I was going to say yes. He didn''t get down on one knee and I was sitting down, and when he asked and took it out of his pocket I just reached for it and I was crying and he held it away and asked if that was a yes, and I was like are you kidding me stupid, yes I''ll marry you. I would have said yes the first week we were together. We''ve been talking about getting married for 3 1/2 years!

hi! Kaylagee.

yes,even next week and he keept asking everytime he come to see me from US
but I kept saying *not sure yet* the reason I saied *no sure* is because I was not sure that if I can live away from my family and my country.

so I told him that if he will promis me $#@^&( lot of thing) then he told me that he will
keep the promis as much as possible .

to the end I said YES,but I was still worry

so I just saied with so small voice *YES.. maybe*

now I think it''s so good that let to wait bit...

because he still keep all promis he made

your Dh didn''t have ring? my DH had ring but I really didn''t like it

well ring is not big important but little bit important

your great grandmother is smart!!!!!!

 

[Rockchick]

i didn''t believe him, he made it very clear that he didn''t want to get married,... ever...I said something like "don''t joke about that" or something, and walked away, teehee..

He followed me and asked again, and after aprox. 10 min. I said YES!!!

 

[CdnBlingGal]

flower12: Your not the only one that said "no"

He proposed to me in 1999, I said "I don''t know" basically meaning ''no'' but not wanting to say the word "no". Still with me?
During this time, I took a step back and re-evaluated my life and what i wanted. Mind you, I can hear my biological clock ticking as well. So, on February 14th 2001, I asked him if he wanted to marry me, hoping he won''t do what I did to him and say ''no'' but he said the opposite.

 

[movie zombie]

i didn''t think i heard right so i asked him what he had said and he repeated the question....i was in shock but managed a yes.

peace, movie zombie

 

[Matata]

It took me 8 months to say yes.
