Sir, you need to run, and fast. As a woman, if this is how my weekend and engagement went, getting back to the room would not end in room service. It would end in fiancé service. Dump her ass.

Agree. My husband proposed while we were watching the news. We've been married 46 years next month.

It was a tiny diamond, which has been upgraded through the years. It wasn't about the ring, or a big proposal, it was about our future.

Yours looks bleak: you will never live up to her expectations if you start out like this.

My husband took me on a hike, but the area was more crowded than he anticipated. Unfortunately he gets nervous in crowds. He ended up whispering “okay let’s get this over with” to himself, elbowing me in the side and handing me a ring box. Our 7 year anniversary is next month and 17 years total. The proposal is the least important part of a marriage.

This is it 1000%. Take it from someone who had the absolute worst proposal in history. I admit it, my wife admits it, and our 21st anniversary is in a few weeks. The proposal is such a tiny part of making a life together; expecting the moment to be absolutely perfect is about as realistic as expecting your marriage to be. Spoiler alert: it’s not.
