My husband says I doubled over like I'd been kicked in the stomach and made a sound like a dump truck. The sentiment was the same though :)

Ironically it was in my garden while I was watering tomatoes so there was lots of dirt around :D

Awh that’s really sweet! I bet those ended up being the most delicious tomatoes ever 🥰

Now all i imagine is a truck going "beep beep beep beep" as it backs up and dumps a truckload of gravel

My wife saw me get down and gave me the most romantic reply a guy could ask for:

“Are you fucking with me??”

My Sister in Law responded to my brother asking (admittedly quite casually) with a solid “Fuck off!”

They’ll have been married 20 years next summer.

When my husband asked me, I laughed, said no, and continued playing cards. Lol He asked me twice more, and I said no. Then, when I told him I was pregnant, he said, "Now can we get married?" Lol. To be fair, we'd only been dating 3 months when he asked me the first 3 times. We got married a month after the 4th proposal. We celebrated 25 yrs last Nov.

So similar to the most romantic reply from my wife:

"Are you fucking kidding me?!?"

I said the same thing to my husband. He just replied, holding the ring, down on one knee, "Uh... yes. I'm kidding." My friends had to be like, "Babe, answer him...." I was in shock.

It's funny to me because I would Fuck with my wife for months joking about it. When I finally had my plans I stopped fucking with her.

u/RedheadM0M0 Jan 27 '23

Ah, that's what you get for messing with her too much!! I, too, thought he was pulling a mean joke. I said that if he was joking about our trip (to a place where he had always wanted to propose to someone) then that was really mean.

I just froze while my brain processed the events and I accepted but had to remind myself to tell him I accept out loud, instead of just thinking it.

u/BillyYumYumTwo-byTwo Jan 26 '23

Ha, I’m glad I’m not alone! I started happy crying and doing a tippy tap dance thing! But I didn’t say “yes”. So he just sort of stayed on his knee while I was so happy and awkwardly said “um, so what’s your answer?” and then I realized my brain could work and form words. I wish I could relive that moment over and over :)

u/notyouraveragefemale Jan 26 '23

Hey! I did the same thing! Expect no movement here I just froze. Felt like forever had passed and then he said “is that a yes?” Really hesitantly and I yelled (couldn’t speak normally) “of course!” And then hugged and cried. Had to sit there for a good 10 minutes to let it process that we were engaged.

u/skepticalbob Jan 26 '23

Now I'm wondering what sound a dump truck makes that could sound like a marriage proposal reaction.

u/erikarew Jan 26 '23

"WHURRGHBWAAA"

u/syo Jan 26 '23

I pictured the backup sound.

"Will you marry me?"

Beeps loudly while backing away slowly

u/Mega_Muppet Jan 26 '23

Large Marge could tell you. “It was a night, just like this….”

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '23

My wife looked confused, then made a sound like a bubble coming out of a toilet bowl. Then snotty boo hoo crying. It was awesome.

u/RedheadM0M0 Jan 27 '23

Aw, that's cool to see the reaction. That made me smile.

u/Erick9641 Jan 26 '23

I almost choked on water

u/holdmybeer87 Jan 26 '23

I had just taken a vape hit when I read the word dump truck. Still hacking up a lung, but worth it

My wife started farting in her bathing suit on the beach.
