How Did He Propose? #WeddingProposal #Marriage

After watching several movies, TV programs and reading countless romance novels, I want to find out how many ways a man can ask a woman to marry him in reality.

If you're married, do you recall how your husband asked you the most important question - will you marry me? How did you react? 

Hopefully, the memory brings back colourful butterflies into your belly.

And if you're single, what's your dream wedding proposal? What's the ideal way for Mr. Right to
propose? Will the sight of your fiance going on one knee, holding a glittering gemstone in his open palm sweep you off your feet?

Better still, if you're engaged, how did your sweetheart ask you the all important question that's going to change your life? Did you burst into tears of joy or did you laugh in surprise?




In my case, my husband's proposal was totally unexpected. It was our first date. We only just met! We sat on the carpeted (with linoleum!) floor in my flat in Lagos. After a three hour getting-to-know-each-other-chat, he paused.

My husband popped the shocking question - 'Will you marry me?' There was no ring at the time of proposing, only the life changing question.

Did I cry? No. Did I laugh? No. I was too stunned to react. So, I remained silent for a few minutes, quietly asking myself if he was the one.

The answer I received was unusual - absolute peace in my heart. Then, I said a cool, 'YES'

Afterwards, the lovely chaos of engagement began. That was almost fifteen years ago. He's the best lover and husband ever! Thank God.

Yours may be more dramatic or different. 

 It is your turn to indulge us.

Please share and thank you for reading.

    I love your engagement story. How incredible and romantic! I knew my husband was the one for me the moment I laid eyes on him. Took us a bit longer to get to the big question, but he proposed when we were together on the beach. It was very romantic and yes I did cry! I will remember it for the whole of my life. I was never so happy as the day he asked me to be his wife!

      You're making me tearful now, Danielle. What a truly romantic place to pop the question. I'm so happy the thought brings back joyful memories. Mine does too. I love all things romance and your story is hotly sweet.

      What fascinates me is how you can see someone for the first time and be convinced he or she is the one. My hubby says he'd known and prayed before he popped the question.

      Here's wishing you a glorious marriage, Danielle. Thank you so much for sharing.

      Thank you, Nana. I thank God. Yeah, at the time, I had been praying for a husband for two long years!!!

      When he eventually came into my life, there was no pomp or funfair or frills. He came in simplicity and love.

      I wish you the very best.
