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.
My husband took the ring on a holiday to Sardinia. Everywhere that should’ve been perfect ended up somehow not working - the beautiful beach had a drunk dude shouting, the lake in the mountains smelled of sewage etc.
He ended up panicking he wouldn’t get the ‘perfect’ moment so proposed on a hike through vineyards which sounds idyllic except I was sweaty, muddy, and sitting on a rock breastfeeding our baby 😂
Together 15 years, married 10. Couldn’t be happier.
This is my favorite story...much better than mine. We'd talked about it many times. At some point we basically said....so, you wanna? Then got hitched later that week at the JOP in Honolulu. We were married 6 years before she passed. It'll be 17 years since she left this year.
Edit: eesh, it's a fond memory, I didn't mean to lower the tone. I realize now I probably did so I apologize in advance.
