Unusual Marriage Proposal

ms traditional — Fri, 02 Aug 2019 00:56:25 GMT

A Houston man took his girlfriend on a 15.7 bicycle ride around Houston that looked like this:

Houston couple Jon Blaze and Thao Nguyen work out and ride their bikes together twice a week, but a recent 15-mile route left them with an added post-ride glow. At the end of this ride, Jon flashed a special surprise - and she said "yes"!!

Cute!

My granddaughter called a couple days ago...she and her longtime boyfriend were hiking at Niagara Falls. They got down to the river, he set up his phone to record, got down on one knee and proposed!

This would make a fun thread for those married posters. How did your spouse propose? I got mine in a letter from future DH who was working at a job away from me. HE later told me he did that because he couldn't bear to hear a rejection in person. Of course, I accepted, and that was over 56 years ago. Fun memory.

The proposal is irrelevant. What's relevant is will they get married? And if they do, how long will it last?

Most people who have received a marriage proposal from someone they love don’t consider it irrelevant.

That is just the best! Very ingenious of him. I wonder if she found the route unusually convoluted, with all the sort of 'backtracking' that the letters required... In any event, that's a ride that neither of them will forget.

I believe I still have that letter stashed in a box of memorabilia along with other things I saved.

This couple obviously has similar interests. What a neat surprise. I like this guy.

@StylishLady Frame the letter and maybe add some of the other keysakes that are from that time.

Is this the comment you make to all people, including your family and friends when you are told wonderful news about being engaged?
