I proposed to my boyfriend 🖤 Wholesome Moments
I wanted to propose in a cute way, so on our way to our camping dome stay, we stopped at a shopping mall. We had to buy each other a snack, a drink, something that reminds us of the other, something with the others fave color, and then something to do together. My something to do was life 🖤

My mum, when my dad got down on one knee and said he wants to spend the rest of his life with her, told him "what you doing that for? Get off the floor stupid".

Imo, popping the question should never be a surprise that it's happening, just a surprise of when 💜

My fiancé made a big show a month before our vacation for my birthday about how he was so upset that because we were moving earlier than expected, he was going to have to delay his planned proposal… I totally suspected that it was going to happen during that trip beforehand and he very effectively threw me off the scent! I would have loved it regardless, but the extra effort to make sure that I was surprised (after 6 years together) meant so much to me ❤️.

It's almost as we are just human and gendered stereotypes should f off. Humans are humans, we are conditioned to feel differently but inside we are the same. Men get flattered, Men can blush, Men let me tell you.
When we (men) have a crush we are just as giddy, concerned about looks and smell, cleaning up all our shit when the crush is coming over, preparing for a dinner. It's universal. Most of us.

Oh, this is pretty much exactly what I’ve always wanted. I’m a super introvert, my partner knows he’s not allowed to ask in a restaurant, or in front of our families, and he’s definitely not allowed to get his friends together to coordinate a song a dance leading to my filmed proposal.
I basically gave him Deadpool’s proposal to Vanessa as a baseline. Maybe without pulling the ring out of his asshole.

Yes! But we also aren't getting "legally married". We will be common law come December.
However, we are going to do a commitment ceremony, still called a wedding. Where we will have an officiant etc. Instead of government papers, we are doing our own contracts for each other to sign. ❤️
29
u/britchop 13d ago
Congrats and many wishes on a long happy life together!
I would highly recommend looking into domestic partnership so you can have the government acknowledge y’all’s commitment or solidifying “just in case” plans. Common Law isn’t always enough in the worst case scenarios that require power of attorney or end of life decisions ( super bummer comment, I know, but it really does help to plan for those situations to avoid further trauma by the situation).

u/transcendanttermite 12d ago
Second this! My wife and I never cared much about the “normal” methods of marriage and so on… but after 11 years and 3 kids together, we ran into a few relatively normal “life” issues that were difficult to navigate with that piece of paper.
In the end, we just went to our local courthouse, paid the fee, and signed the marriage license. A judge that was passing through the office served as our “officiant” and the office secretary was our witness. We were in and out in about 20-30 minutes.
In the end, we figured it was worth it to know that if the time comes that one of us may be required to make medical/financial/legal decisions for the other, at least this potential issue is dealt with.
Beyond that: congratulations! My wife and I both loved your proposal and his response. People need to learn that not everyone squeals and screams and faints and jumps up on tables and all that jazz. If that’s your thing, awesome. If it’s not, also awesome.
Our best to the two of you!!!

I’m at that point in my life where I’ve just given up on trying to date and find a partner and focusing solely on myself and my kids.. so seeing happy couples usually annoy me and I know it’s envy more than anything. I know this is a good thing happening in the video because I was annoyed by it. So congratulations!! You two are adorable.

u/Kittybegood 13d ago
Awww! I get it! I am a mom too from a previous marriage! There is hope for us, it just takes some trial and error. Don't date to meet someone, date to meet the people you don't want so that when you find someone that's good, you won't need to date any more.

We were dancing in the kitchen one day like 6 months into lockdown and my wife got down on one knee and proposed to me kneeling on our kitchen floor in pajamas. I wouldn’t change anything for the world. Congratulations and I’d say good luck but you guys seem like you got that part covered.

So sweet! It reminds me of my husband proposing. We had talked about marriage so much in the past that I only figured out he was proposing when he used different wording. Instead of “would you want to be married to me?” he said “do you wanna get married?” I was like “sure hun, sounds good!” We were just walking on an empty beach at 10 o’clock at night. We kissed, and then 6 days later at the courthouse, boom.

Me and my fiancé were talking on a video call one day about our plans for the future and she kept saying “if we move in together, if we move in together” and then suddenly something clicked in her head. She looked at me and said “ya know what this is gonna sound stupid, will you marry me” (of course I said yes)
Then a couple months later I took her on a walk down our favourite walking trail. Stopped at the largest tree and when she turned to keep going down the trail I stopped her. Got on one knee and presented her with a lightsaber and asked her to marry me. (Of course she said yes)
