Proposal Dreams

[paris29]

Ok, so I know a lot if not all of the LIW have imagined how their FF/SO would propose one day or maybe you even have a dream proposal. While I know that most likely the proposal will be different than what we expect I thought it would be fun to have a thread where we can share.
For me: I love the beach, I find it so relaxing and romantic. After a very romantic dinner at a restaurant over looking the water, we would go down to beach. The stars would be out and shinning, the waves crashing and he would propose. Not matter what though I'll be ecstatic when he proposes.

Hm when I was younger I used to have some kind of silly dreams about it, especially about how I would tell people (like I didn't realize that my parents and family would probably already know before me lol...I fantasized that it would be a COMPLETE surprise to them and everyone would be balling their eyes out from surprise and joy...oy...I wouldnt even want that to happen now). But actually, I don't really have any expectations or serious ideas about how I want it to happen. I'm just so excited to spend the rest of my life with the one person who truly completes me - I will be so ecstatic no matter what happens. And I know he is excited about this little plan he is cooking up And that really makes me feel good.

I will say though, I wonder if I'm going to cry. I kind of hope that I do, because when I think about getting engaged I cry, and when I read engagement stories I cry. But whatever happens will happen and I will be so thrilled!!

I don't really have any specific hopes for the proposal. I just want it to be something really sweet that incorporates something that is unique to us as a couple. I'll be really excited and happy no matter how he does it though

I don't have any. I do care about the proposal, but I'm not really flussed. He knows what he's doing. Our first anniversary, he took me to a Chinese restaurant with a funny name. I pouted and threw a fit. No way in heck was I going to this funny-named-restaurant! And then we went. And then he ordered the Peking duck. And then I fell in love with Peking duck. And now, he has to beg me not to go there for dinner on date nights. Anniversary number 3, he took me out to a Mexican restaurant. Another hole in the wall. I boo'ed and threw a fit. For some reason, I didn't care for Mexican food, or so I thought until I went to this little restaurant. The same has happened for other occasions and events. Sometimes I do really dislike what he's planned, like going to watch Blow-Up (I know, its supposed to be a classic, right? I think I'm just not mod enough to get it). But, most of the time he's spot on. So, I guess the only part of my dream that I've seen so far is him proposing to me.

I have no dreams.. honestly, I just want him to do it : )

I wonder if I'll cry, too. I think I may a tiny bit, if I don't cry then I will most certainly cry when we get married : ) Hard.

What I used to dream of happening: Being slowly wakened up on a bright sun shiney morning. Him leaning over to tell me how much he loves me and how he cant picture another morning without me. Then bring on the sun (ring) and he slips it onto my finger and I say yessssssssss!! Swoooooonnnnnnnnnnnnn

I'd love for it to be an ordinary day... nothing in public!

I feel like at this point its just going to be really cheesy and obvious when it happens. Anytime he asks me to a nice dinner I am going to be anticipating it lol Cause thats just how he is but thats okay too since I know it'll be when he is ready and everything comes from his heart.

Unfortunatly I too think ( and literally dream) about this all the time... I seem to have two areas of concearn. I really hope I dont guess that its happening and him tell me. We have had this happen on anniversaries where I accidently guess the suprise so I really try to be careful wiht that. And my other thought is that I really hope I like whatever he does, not to sound snobbish but I am the planner in our duo so sometimes I wonder if he will actually plan something or just show up at my door one day and ask... I would love the question at this point any way I could get it but I really want a story I could tell for years to come!

I don't have anything in particular in mind as long as it's something he's put thought into rather than just "here ya go". Oh but I won't allow him to propose via text, which he keeps asking me to marry him that way right now (multiple times a day). I keep telling him, that he has to do it for real and that if he keeps this up when he really does it I'm not going to believe him. Maybe that's part of the plan

 

[peach_tea_for_me]

I also literally dream about this all the time. I don't know exactly what my dream proposal would be, but I know it would not be in front of either of our families or at a sporting event (neither of which are things I think he would do). Other than that, anything wil blow my mind! I would love to have just a really perfect day, it can be that low key perfect or something extra special and than have it right before a really delicious dinner somewhere special. Ok, so look at that, maybe I DO have a dream proposal and didn't even realize it. I hope I'm somewhat surprised at the moment this happens and not anticipating that it will be right then.
Such an exciting day dream and someday reality!

I think I'm similar to most who have posted in that I don't really have a 'dream' proposal, but I have plenty of things that I would rather NOT be incorporated into the proposal as well as things I WOULD like so... basically a list of Do's and Don'ts:

Do:
- Ask my mother (father has passed) for my hand in marriage
- Make it private
- Be original
- Incorporate something personal to us
- Get down on one knee
- Have a little get together of friends waiting at a restaurant/home for us to meet with afterward if possible
- Record it if possible
- Propose on the day of our first date/kiss/etc...

Don't:
- Make it public (sporting event/stadium/concert/in front of a bunch of friends or family)
- Put the ring in any type of food or drink
- Propose on Valentines Day/Birthday/Christmas or any other holiday (with the exception of Our Anniversary)
- Propose before 9 a.m. or after 10 p.m. (Before 9am, I'm likely to think I was dreaming, after 10pm I can't call and tell everyone!)

I guess there aren't many don'ts...

I really dont have a proposal dream, or dreamt of it, but i do have a few do's and donts too. I would LOVE if he would make the proposal include our dogs, or my boy dog if possible. He knows how much im attached to our Dog, so that alone would be perfect. Just Us, the Dogs, and him asking. Also, it would be okay if he didnt go down on one knee, thats not our style per say, would be nie, but not necessary. For us, actually it seems a bit silly( No offense ladies)

Do:
Make it "Us"
Make it memorable
Be Orginial, but than that wul cover being us(LoL)
If it is a public one( which it wont but..) dont make uber public. Close friends are just fine, but a stadium, i might be tempted to say no( J/k)

Dont:
Make it uber Public
Dont do it before 11 Am, im still sleeping, Dont do it after 3 am, im going to bed
Dont just do it, to do it
Do it outside during the summer, we both get sunburned in under 10 minutes

The Does and Doesnt are very both us, but thats about it. Neither of us, like early morning, and we probabaly wont call a bunch of people, not our style. Also, we are a unique couple, so im sure the proposal will. H

 

[PrincessNatalie]

Do:

It overseas (fingers crossed lol, but prob not)

Dont:

None, apart from that he can do whatever he wants.

Except here or abroad, I don't want friends or family around, I like the idea of just him and I. I don't want anyone to interrupt the moment, or to bug us afterward.

I had never really thought about it before my SO isn't the romantic type so I don't get my hopes up in that respect. At this point I just want him to do it. I also have a list of do and don't.

DO
1. Make it private I hate being the center of attention
2. Make sure it's us
3. Something that I will remember/unique

Don't
1. no public events or with people
2. Not before 11 A.M.
3. Don't have me looking a mess

I'll love however he decides to proposes and I can't wait. Although I daydream about him asking to marry me now if only it can hurry up and become a reality!
