“Are You Ready To Be Promoted?”: 46 Engagement Stories That Might Have You Saying “No”

My husband proposed at the Grand Canyon. As we were driving into the park, he was holding my hand and randomly started stroking my ring finger. He just would not stop touching it for 20+ mins. Then the song “I think I want to marry you” randomly came on in the car and he started sweating, said he needed to throw up, and changed the song. I asked him why he was so nervous and sweaty and he said “I’m just so excited to see the Grand Canyon”😭

My husband proposed at a destination four hours from where we lived. I knew it was coming when on the car ride there he was growing increasingly nervous. At one point he blurted out “your middle name is Marie, right?!?”

My husband asked me to be his husband….im a woman

my proposal is one of my prouder moments. took her to a waterfall, said "this is pretty, isn't it?" when she said yeah I said "what if you had something pretty to go with it?" and popped out the ring. sometimes I'm still impressed with how well I did lol

i thought he would be so obvious that i knew it was coming JOKES here’s actual footage of me not realizing I’m being proposed to 🙂🧐

I accidentally told him that he doesn’t need wear chinos bc it’s not like we’re getting engaged at family photos… we in fact did get engaged at family photos

When my husband proposed, it sounded more like a breakup, he said it’s been nice knowing you

😭 I panicked and meowed at him when he asked- I still don’t know why I did that.

Mine wanted to talk about the things we had in common, such as our love of nature, but he was not the most eloquent man & it came out as 'We both like trees and stuff'.
'Trees and stuff' became a catchphrase for the next 30 years.

We had a big argument the night before and mine started the question with “you’ve made this really difficult”

Not engagement but My husband got notification the ring would be delivered on the day of his uncle’s funeral and spent the entire morning stressing about being back in time to sign for “an important package that they might leave in the mailbox cause it would fit but might not because it’s expensive”, had me go to the luncheon by myself (3 blocks from our house) so he could sign for it and showed up as giddy as I’ve ever seen him. To his uncle’s funeral luncheon.

my husband picked me up from my dorm and was shaking so hard. he had a flower in this car (it fell out of the bouquet he bought for the proposal) and when I asked about it he screamed "I FOUND IT IN THE PARKING LOT AND THOUGHT IT WAS COOL."

Mine proposed at Disney World. We had been there ALL day. All day. He waited until the castle was lit up, got on one knee, pulled a ring out. No box in sight. This man……went on so many rides….with a loose ring…..in his pocket. All day long. 😂

Mine went on his knee and just sobbed without saying anything (he never cries), I just sobbed back and he put the ring on. There was not much of a conversation 😂

This was my husband! I was fixing my hair in the bathroom and he looked so sick I kept asking if he was okay until he finally just asked me!😂 So anyways I got engaged in the bathroom while only down the road from the beach! Married 21 years!

We took this picture right before he got down on one knee and I asked him why his heart was racing so fast? He said allergies. 😂

I picked out my engagement ring, but had no clue when I would be getting proposed to. One night we were at dinner, food was served and he wasn't eating which is really weird. I asked him if there was something wrong with the food and he blurted out "I have the ring".

My husband remembered I wanted my nails done and an hour before we left offered to paint my nails. He only painted my left hand.

Mine said “I have a confession” and I thought it was something bad and said “I don’t want to hear it.”

Mine meant to say “can I ask you a question?” but instead came out with “can I give you a quest?”
