The Proposal

Okay so I'm sitting here listening to the radio morning show and the topic today is "What is the most embarrassing proposal ever and what lie do you tell to cover it up?" Apparently there are some pretty stupid and unromantic guys out there judging by the stories I've heard so far this morning. Some have been really funny, like a woman in Myrtle Beach who's boyfriend tossed her the money and said, "here go buy the damn ring." to another woman who said she and her boyfriend were laying in bed talking about getting married, and she said,"well we aren't even engaged so we can't do much planning can we?" and his reply was," well you know where the ring is, go get it and we'll solve that problem."

It got me to thinking and so I'm going to share with you how hubby and I got engaged. :)

December 12th, 2003 - hubby came and picked me up from work for lunch. We lived like 5 minutes down the road from the construction company I worked for and he would get me everyday and bring me home, where he had lunch already waiting. Some days he would pick something up, but most days he would actually cook lunch. My favorite lunch from hubby when he was my boyfriend was cordon bleu, broccoli, and corn. Boy I miss those days. *heh* anywaayyyyy....on this particular day he was all smiles and I was like..okay what's up? and he wouldn't tell me. We get to the house and I go into the kitchen to see what's cooking and then I hear the CD player turn on, it's Dierks Bentley and the song is Last Name. Hubby is singing the song and I walk back into the living room to where hubby is standing. As I get close to him he bends down on one knee, still singing the song. At the point that Dierks Bentley sings,"so darlin' if you're wonderin' why I've got you here tonight
I wanna be your husband, I want you to be my wife", he opens a rose that has my engagement ring in it and offers it up to me and then sings the rest of the verse,
"I ain't got much to give you but what I've got means everything
it's my last name"
At the end of the song he smiled up at me, put the ring on my finger and told me he wanted nothing more than to marry me and share his life with me, would I marry him. of course I said YES.

and that's how I became engaged to hubby. :) Ain't I a lucky gal?

Every time I think back on it I smile until my face hurts, and every time I hear that song it brings me to happy tears.

I've got a good man, and now I've got a good last name.

how did your man propose to you? :)
