where did you propose?

on a garden wall where i first kissed her 8 years earlier. on christmas eve.
 
On a rush hour metro in Paris. Between Republique and Strasborg St Denis if i remember right.

No 1 , in the pub in Knutsford we met in , only due to severe fog we couldnt get to the cotswolds and a smart hotel


since divorced


and last year to soon to be number 2 on holiday in Majorca with her and her 6 yr old daughter and realised that she was the one , plus the daughter was hinting a lot :)
 
never got around to proposing myself but been on the recieving end of four (which i'm surprised at in retrospect, i'm not that special)

first one was in a local restaurant with champagne when i was 18. said yes but didn't marry him - emerald surrounded by diamonds

second one was in york when we were students. said yes again bit too skint for ring...

third time was in a pub in town when i was 23. bloke i used to work with, was 10 years older than me. said no, then ran for the hills. he was boyfriend material not marriage.

fourth time was mr bg74. asked me when we were both drunk. had no memory of it for 48 hours then it all came flooding back a couple of days later. married him 2.5 years later and still together today.
 
On the tiny Isle of Iona in an old wee church (tiny place about 20 foot by 10 foot). Got married on that Island a couple of years later.

We were in the process of buying a home; it was a short sale so the whole process was very difficult (especially on her as she is a part time realtor, and was doing loads of stuff to make the sale happen in addition to her regular job). Anyway, on that day something had happened where we thought we'd lost the house, and we were both kind of down. I had the ring already and was planning on waiting until our upcoming holiday to the Caribbean, but on that day I was just overcome with how much I loved her and how much she loved me and how hard she was working to help set up our life together, so I decided it was go time.

I suggested a walk in the park; there were these trails through the woods that I had grown up walking. I waited for the trail to be clear of a few kids on bicycles and after pump-faking a few times to tie my shoe, went down on one knee and did the damn thing. Those kids did ride past again at some point and probably wondered who that weird guy was on his knees hugging his girl around the legs in the middle of the woods. A good day.
