I had just picked up the ring, but was waiting for the right time to give it to her. We went to dinner at this fancy French Bistro. All through dinner, she's talking about when we get married, how she'll take care of me, cook, clean, laundry, all that stuff. So I excused myself, went out to the car, and got the ring. Walked up to her got on one knee, and said "If you're serious about all that, so am I."
Married 15 months today.
mines was similar to yours but I waited for her birthday. The big proposal happen in winter of 97 while pregnant with my son.
ok this is what i did, i ordered a limousine and had it take us to the fancy restaurant Tavern on the Green in NY and while riding sipping on wine for her birthday i'm trying to figure out what would be the best way to show the ring and propose
as we pulled into the restaurant all the thoughts in the world started flooding my mind about why i shouldnt propose tonight but i knew this was just out of fear of the "thought" that after she knows she has me she gets comfortable and changes slowly but surely for the worst
then our waiter comes along who seemed to be an expert in making ppl feel comfortable with his service and brings along more wine and claimed the wine was the brand used in the James Bond movies
which we believed at the time because of how good things were going the atmosphere was pleasant and this guys' expert waitering skills. Now im still brain storming about how im going to bring out this ring all the while the waiter is still talking to us which i really dont hear him because im f*cking stuck on how to get this ring out, then it came to me to ask the waiter since he was a social expert maybe he could come up with something good. so when he walked away i excused myself 15 seconds later from the table and approached the waiter to see what ideas he may have and he came up with the idea of putting the ring under her napkin so when she goes to place the napkin on her lap the ring will appear and i pop the big one
. well this was it so i gave him the ring(and gave him a look
of make sure you come out with it ha ha, had he not come out with it i would have been f*cked) and went back to the table sat down and started up a conversation about even though its your birthday i'm not sure this relationship is going to good, this was to throw her off any trails just in case she was thinking "big dinner and Limo", something has to be up more than my birthday
. so i go into how she's not doing this and that and while i was talking, her face had a total stumped look
on it, then the waiter comes over and puts down all the food and then sits down 2 cloth napkins that were shaped so they can stand a little. I said to myself damn this guy has it all figured out and that ring better be under there. then the waiter says enjoy and we thank him and i proceeded to grab my napkin hoping she would follow and she did ,grabbing her napkin only to look away for a split second then screamed!! everyone looked over like someone just died then i proposed and she said yeeeeeeeees
. then the waiter comes over and congratulates us and pulls out another bottle of his James Bond wine to celebrate, it was a very good feeling.
Now here's the update, we got married the following yr and it lasted for 4yrs, im now divorced and stress free. Hip Hip Hurray!
Damn im surprised i typed all this Huh
