At some point in the near future I am going to ask Miss Lunge the BIG question and would like to make a good job of it.
With this on mind I wondered if you could share youe (un)romantic stories about how the question was asked and whether it was concidered good, bad or indifferent.
i nagged her till she said yes.
we were, errrm, horizontal, she said yes.
I've never asked whether it was considered (in)appropriate, tbh.
Wife said - "Shall we go on holiday to St. Lucia? If we're there 3 weeks we can get married."
I said, "Hmm, sounds ok. Can I try windsurfing too?" (or something similar)
At a viewpoint on top of the Hintertux Glacier overlooking the Austrian Alps while on a snowboarding holiday.
(used a stunt-ring in case I dropped it in the snow!)
She wept, people nearby cheered.
Just celebrated our 5th anniversary.
Fell out of the back of the Land Rover, pissed. My girlfriend looked a bit exasperated, but helped me up, got my bike out of the car, and told me to get to bed, she'd sort things out. I decided there and then that if anyone could put up with my rubbish, she was worth hanging on to. So I asked her to marry me.
She told me to ask again in the morning. I did, she said yes, we bought a ring. Ups and downs, but we've been married 18 years.
i was told there was no question that i had a choice.
everytime we got pissed for about 3 years.
Finally tried it sober and it stuck 
I whispered it in her ear at midnight on New Year's Eve.
She said she had to think about it 
A month later she asked me back with a 'Marry me' Love Heart sweet and it took her about 8 packs to find a pack with the right one in.
But my brother's was best - he asked his girlfriend whilst having a pee against a wall behind Knaresborough bus station. Sweet.

At sunset
With only gulls for company
Sheesh, it was freezing. That's why I needed several pints afterwards.
Hastings beach at sunset on a massive sugar rush.
I had something far grander planned but the moment was perfect.
Our'e not are you ? are you sure its mine .
Ring in a small box, wrapped up as a Xmas tree present - opened it on Epiphany as the tree was being put away (we usually save one present for epiphany)
Walking down by the harbour at dusk whislt we were away in Mallorca. Had a ring already picked and she was speachless. Got a round of applause from a small crowd further down when I pulled the ring out.
I did the honorable thing of asking her dad before we went away... (he's paying for the wedding now)
Rugby World Cup, watching Scotland v SA, waited until half time & asked her. Did the one knee thing but there was nobody else to see as was in the lounge at the time.
A bit spur of the moment but she kept bringing me beer & I felt happy.
Don't regret it

Outside our first house on new years eve 1999, I asked the question and the whole of the skyline lit up with fireworks for the start of 2000. Three Children later 
I was proposed to, I should have stuck to my guns and said no ... wonder where she is now?

We were planning a dream holiday to Canada and the US - I was going to go down on one knee at the top of the Empire State building. Then she decided we weren't doing New York as she'd already been.
Then suddenly she started referring to the holiday as the honeymoon, and I said that if she organised it, I'd turn up.
So I never actually proposed....is it still legal and valid?
On both knees, surrounded by half emptied luggage having just arrived from Luxembourg sporting dyed red hair and a newly pierced nipple (both of which were suprises to my intended) - she was suprised to say the least but did say 'yes' straightaway.
in Hastings as well.
We already had a few nights booked in Vegas.
We mutually agreed that we didn't need any more toasters (big party with wedding gifts), we both hate being centre of attention, had been co-habiting 6 years already and were looking to buy a 2nd, grown-ups home together (3 bed from a 1 bed flat).
Booked a driv-thru do about 2 days before take-off. The reception was McDonalds for 2 on the Strip! Told the rest of the family in the evening .. they still all feel hard done by.
In the middle of this:
Campo del Moro, just under the palace in Madrid.
My first LTG said no, here (Tarifa)
So she found her own way back home..
I waited until she was suffering from vertigo at the top of the leaning tower of Pisa, then asked her.
I'm sure she said yes just so I would let her come back down, but we're still married two years on, so it must have worked.
MrsBouy said erm.. here (Valencia Harbour at the last Americas Cup)
We're still together, hahaha, and happy.. one day maybe we'll get around to it..
I hope her first name doesn't begin with the letter C? Actually I hope it does... Mrs C Lunge.
schrickvr6, unfortunately her name does not begin with C and my surname isn't Lunge. Shame as that would have been funny.
While out riding on the Malverns last weekend, once we were both suitably covered in mud spray, I made an excuse to stop, got down on one knee, pulled the ring out of my camelbak and said the magic words,,
She said yes, (which was nice) and then we dropped off the side, down a sweet single track to the cafe............
she asked me
Wife went out with her sisters and when she came back she said were getting married on bla bla bla
London eye on a weekend away - didnt have loads of cash for a fancy holiday but had a ring.
Produced ring in the pod - however as I'm reminded lots now i only asked her - "fancy getting engaged" and never properly proposed nor did the one knee stuff either.
5 yrs married and one daughter later we are still doing grand.
