My ring was on the dashboard as a surprise. We were going out.

We went to Niagara Falls.

Short and sweet. Elaborate if you'd like, would love to hear your story if you'd care to share.

we were sitting on the floor in the living room after we had finished decorating my Christmas tree and he just took my hand and asked. He already knew the answer because we were already discussing getting married. he wanted to have his Mom's rings reset so he let me pick out the setting myself , which I appreciated. We were married valentines day (yep- 7 week engagement)and went skiing at Wisp, in Maryland for our honeymoon. We were very careful financially with our wedding and honeymoon because we had just ordered a home to be built and that was where all our money was going.

Came home from a very long day at work on a Friday- he asked what were our plans for the week-end and said, "Wanna get married?" Put that gorgeous ring on my finger & that was all she wrote. Took a long week-end in Fontana, NC, a few weeks later.

On I95 heading north. In his convertible with the top down and the radio blasting. He asked and I said (yelled more like it) yes. Honeymoon in Bermuda.

Thought my boyfriend was acting weird when he returned from a 3-day hunting trip, and was bracing myself for him to break up with me. Figured he'd found a younger woman....I was 12 yrs older than him.

Instead, he was just nervous b/c he was getting ready to pop the question on that rainy October Sunday night.

How did you & your husband get ""engaged"" and where'd you go on your honeymoon?

There was no ""engagement"". Our honeymoon? The day after we were married we were in a TV Studio making a commercial for the company that built our 4 Season Patio Room. Somewhere down the road we went to New York City a few times to watch our NY Rangers hockey team play some games at Madison Square Garden and also to New Jersey Arena(don't remember the name at the time but they have since built a new one)to watch them play a Road Game.

We were sitting in the living room and he seemed really excited but I had no idea why. Then he said he had to go get something and reappeared with this little silver box. He had picked the ring out all by himself and I was totally surprised. I had no inkling. We were married on December 30 and spent our honeymoon in Niagara Falls.

Hubby and I went out on a Saturday night for our first date. The next day he went to church with me in the morning and evening. When he took me home that night, (I was 17), he either asked me to marry him or told me he wanted to marry me. Can't remember since that was 1951, but I was stunned because we didn't even know each other. I told him I'd have to think about it, but he gave me a ring on Christmas Eve. I said "yes", but wanted a year so we could get acquainted. We were married a year later, went to Santa Barbara, and up to Sacramento and the bay area for a few days of honeymoon. Were married just shy of 58 years when he went Home in 2010.

He cooked a gourmet seafood dinner for me and I noticed there was a very expensive bottle of French white wine on the table for a Thursday nite. After we cleared the table, I noticed the ring box on my placemat. We had been looking at diamonds, so I knew it probably was coming, but still, it was fantastic. We honeymooned in Hawaii for 2 weeks.

Why do you have the word engaged in quotes? Makes no sense to me!
