My finace proposed over the intercom at Giant food. He called me up to the front over the loud speaker and when I got up there, there was a crowd of people and he was done on one knee and he proposed in front of the whole grocery store over the loud speaker. He did it there because that's where we first met.

One day out shopping with my mother, aunt, boyfriend, and our kids wanted to catch the after New Year's sale. My son and boyfriend said, "We going to another store until you lady's come out. You know you will be a while." So I kissed him and my son goodbye, and we arranged to meet at BW3s for lunch.

He arrived late to the restaurant. He sat down with us and was quiet for some reason.  He asked me for a kiss. So I leaned forward, kissed him, smiled, and whispered to him, "I love you." He said he loved me too. I smiled again.

He asked, "Do you think we will get married one day?"

I said, "Yeah, one day, I hope we can make it that far.  I love you and after my last marriage I said I wouldn't do it again and you made me change my mind!"  With mouthful of BW3's delicious hot wings, I saw him easing to the floor and asked him, "What are you doing?"  He got down on one knee in front of everyone in the restaurant, my family included, and asked me to marry him! I was trying not to cry and embarras myself in front of everyone.  I let out a big, "Wow!" that caused everyone to look our way. I was smiling with tears rolling down my cheeks. He then pointed out that I never did answer his question and that he would love to get up off the floor! How romantic!  I hugged and kissed him.

The manager and our waitress witnessed the event and celebrated with us by giving us 75% off our check!

It was Christmas Day and we had all opened our presents. My now fiance asked "Did you look in your stocking?" So I got up and got out the little box.....hoping when I opened it, that it would be what I wanted. So I opened it and he was sitting across the room. I am just starring at it thinking 'Is this what I think it is?' The next thing I know my phone is chirping...I had a text. The text says "Are you gonna say 'yes'?" That was the greatest ever.

My family was acting really strange in October and I could not figure out why. My birthday was coming up in November so I thought that had to be it. Well, it turned out that my boyfriend had been planning a trip to go to NYC for my birthday. I thought that was my only surprise. Well, we were in our second day there and it was Nov. 24th and it was my birthday. He kept on telling me that he still had one more surprise. So we went on with our day and at the last minute at around 11:30pm he said, "We have to go to the EmpireState Building."

I said, "No way...it's cold."  He was really insistant so I decided to go.  To my surprise, when we got to the top he asked me to film the pretty lights of NYC.  As I was filming I heard him say, "It's beautiful isn't it?"

I agreed then I felt a tug on my jacket.  I turned around and there he was on one knee. He said, "Not as beautiful as you are.  Will you marry me?" I started to cry and hug and kiss him.  He asked if that  was a 'yes'.  I said, "Yes." Everyone around us was clapping. It was like something out of the movies. When we returned to the bottom level everyone there was clapping for us too. The catch to the story is that I've always said I wanted to be engaged on my 24th birthday and get married by age 26. Well, I was engaged on my 25th birthday and I will be married by 26. :)

The night started at our local karaoke club.  It was just one of those nights that I knew was going to be fun because everyone was there! My family showed up and my fiancés family was there as were all our friends - everyone that was important to me.  My fiancé Bobby got up to sing his a song called We Danced by Brad Paisley.  I was sitting next to my mom just watching him sing in awe, as I always did.  At one point in the song Bobby sang these lyrics: “From that moment there was never any doubt, I had found the one I had always dreamed about, then one evening, she stopped by after work, I pulled a diamond ring from the pocket of my shirt”.  It was just then, the music stopped, I looked down and Bobby was on one knee pulling a diamond ring out of the pocket of his shirt. Over the microphone he asked, “Will you marry me?"  With tears in my eyes, I said, "YES!"  My friend Matt finished singing the song while Bobby and I danced!
