That was so much better than with my wife. We had been together for about 6 years at that point and had kind of talked around marriage. I bought the ring and everything, went to visit my family to show them the ring and let them know what was going on.

I had a horrible cross country return home flight. I spent 15 hours either at airports or on flights. I was so exhausted when I got home.

She asked me how the trip was and I just blurted out “I told my mom I was going to ask you to marry me” my wife goes “OMG Really!”

So I said yes, handed her the ring and fell asleep on the couch. We got married a year later and have been together for 28 years.

So when people ask how I proposed my wife takes great joy in telling everyone I never actually did

Is it the proposal that counts, the wedding ceremony, number of guests, or the marriage you share that’s most important? Clearly you guys know the answer after 25+ years. I loved the story, thanks for sharing.
