Dream proposal

cinderella · 03-24-2010, 09:32 PM

Bent knee proposal? Heh, with my luck he'd say he's down there because his knee gave out!!

moxie · 03-24-2010, 09:41 PM

It's Sunday morning.
We are both sitting up in bed reading the paper. Me in my pjs with my morning breath and my Robert Smith-looking hair, looking ever-so beautiful.
I am scouring the deals and clipping coupons and talking about all of the places that I am going to go today. He is sipping coffee, reading the World and Forum sections, only after I have read them, of course.

And nodding and "mmmhmm"ing to acknowledge that he is reading the paper but still listening.
Then he tells me that he wants to spend every Sunday for the rest of his life doing the same exact thing. With me.

I never thought a romantic gesture or big proposal was necessary - my belief is that a proposal should never be a surprise, you should both know how the other feels and that marrying each other is the right thing. The big shocking question where the woman has no idea he was going to ask always seemed like a bad sign to me - are you that out of sync with each other already?

Well, true to form, I rationally talked about marriage, and even picked out rings with my Beauhunk, but I realized there was a little something in me that wanted to be asked - to have that moment of "will you?" where he's taking the risk and I am forced to stop and think...."hmmm...will I? Really, for real and forever?" I knew that was silly since we'd already talked and knew we'd marry, and we were both very happy knowing we were with our heart and soulmate, so I joked about the "surprise proposal" and didn't think it was necessary; when the time was right, we would agree when we'd be officially engaged and I would wear his ring.

A couple days before Christmas, I woke up and it felt like someone else was in the house. My dogs weren't making a fuss, so I knew Beauhunk must have come over early (for breakfast?? those who know me are laughing about that). I peeked out of the bedroom and called his name - no answer, but there was a ribbon across the steps with a note on it, a little poem telling me to get ready for a scavenger hunt and to follow the instructions. Oooh, a surprise Christmas present!

Each note held a sweet little poem about our courtship, getting to know each other, Beauhunk's move here...and each led me to a different room with a beautifully wrapped box with another note inside. Finally, the last one led me to the family room and Christmas tree, where there was a huge wrapped box and bow, with a note saying "lift me." When I did, there was my Beauhunk on his knee, holding a ring, shaking like a leaf and asking "Will you marry me?"

It was so beautiful and romantic, completely unexpected, and absolutely perfect. I cried and kissed him and was so overwhelmed I forgot to say "yes" for a few seconds (he says he was really sweating it!) I could never have predicted that flood of happiness when I formally accepted his proposal. The thing is, when he asked, my emotional/gut reaction confirmed my feelings at a depth I couldn't have predicted when we talked sensibly about our future and our love before.

It was the best proposal ever - the dream proposal I didn't even know I was dreaming of. That Beauhunk makes my crispy cold black heart all mushy and schmoopie like nobody's business.

So would it be tacky to say you DID have a scavenger hunt, remember?? That would be, wouldn't it?

So I'll skip saying that.

Your story and your baby make lovely, bawling fodder and shit too. I felt envy way back in the day when you got married, all legal and everything with love on top too.

Yeah,,I think I nearly turned blue while holding my breath waiting for you to say yes! And your heart isn't crispy or cold or black, but I do love the schmoopie part! I had such a wonderful time preparing for the moment,,trying to be slick hiding out in the garage working on my boxes, lol. It was indeed a once in a lifetime, no mistake, reservation or hesitation proposal. I'm so looking forward to the fall! I love you!

I must go on record as saying I don't really believe in forever. I don't say that just cause I'm a jaded, bitchy hag but also because I don't think people have it in them to stick out for the long haul anymore.

That being said, I am one of those girls who knew by age ten where I wanted to get married, (a white sand beach at sun set) what color my bridesmaids would wear (deep purple) and what flower I would carry (purple tulips).

I hadn't, before now, given thought to the proposal.

I suppose my dream proposal will take vsometime to think on.

Ill be back.
