List: How do ordinary Americans propose marriage?

We used to have an engagement ceremony in China, but it was a matter for both men and women's families, so as to declare to the world that men and women have their own places, others don't have to worry about them, and matchmakers don't have to run errands in vain. If two young people are engaged for life in private, it can basically be attributed to rebellion. The engagement object is nothing more than personal items such as fans and handkerchiefs that you carry with you. These men and women often find it difficult to get what they want in the end. Later, the tradition was broken by the break of capitalism, and now mainlanders have no formal engagement ceremony. In western culture, engagement must be "asked" in person. A man formally proposed to his beloved woman. After she said "I do", he put a diamond ring on her, and then he could proceed to the next step-marriage. The marriage proposal ceremony pays attention to romance, novelty and surprise, so there are many strange and changeable marriage proposal scenes. In the "Mom Club" I joined, there is a column of "Monthly Question" in the journal. This month's question is: "How did your husband propose to you?" Some mothers wrote about their personal experiences. Let's see how ordinary Americans "beg" for a beautiful woman. Laura-that day, he took me to Hershey Hotel (the only five-star hotel in our area, built on a mountain with a long history and beautiful scenery), and a carriage was waiting for us at the door. The carriage took us for a walk in the garden of the hotel. He asked the coachman to park his car behind the hotel by the fountain and pavilion surrounded by flowers. He got off the bus and helped me down. He took my hand and sat down in the pavilion. He got down on one knee and asked me if I would marry him-he's so romantic! Shelley-My husband plans to propose to me in the Christmas Candy Garden on Christmas Eve. This is a wonderful plan, but on Christmas Eve, the "Christmas Candy Garden" was closed! When we got there, there was no one around and it was dark. He still wants to get off, but I'm a coward and I'll never get off. Therefore, he can't put off his plan until Christmas morning. That's still a beautiful proposal, but it should be more romantic and beautiful if it can be in the candy garden. Oh, that was fourteen years ago. Francis ―― My husband invited me to his house for dinner after work. When I entered the door, I found that he had put a vase above the stove, with flowers in it and a diamond ring shining on the branches! He knelt down and proposed to me, and I replied, "I do." We have been in love for eight years, and he was still so sweet and a little nervous when he proposed. What makes me even more gratified is that earlier that day, he specially called my father and got my father's consent first. Beth-actually, we kept a low profile, and of course David knelt down and made a speech-I hope I can remember what he said at that time. The previous summer, David helped grandpa with chemotherapy at his grandparents' house. Two old men asked him when he would get married, and he replied that he had never bought an engagement ring or a wedding ring. His grandparents gave him their rings (though I haven't seen them yet). A few weeks after our engagement, he wore his grandfather's wedding ring, and I took his grandmother's engagement ring to the family Thanksgiving party to publicly announce our engagement. Wow! The expression on my father's face. Jenny-We were in Florida when he graduated from college, and that day he asked me if I wanted to go to the seaside. Before he left, he loaded the car with big bags and small rolls, and his behavior was weird. When we arrived at the beach, he took a big bag of things from the car. We found a good corner. He spread out the blanket and poured two glasses of champagne. He became very romantic, which was not his style, so I knew something was going to happen. An elegant ring lies quietly under the glass! To my surprise, he asked my mother's friend to make this ring, and he participated in it from beginning to end. In fact, even if he proposed to me while washing the car, I would say yes. Twenty-two years together, seventeen years married, less romance and more love! ! Mitchell Surkamp and I are teachers in the same school. At the end of the summer vacation, he kept telling me to wear new clothes on the first day of school. After several times, I wondered if it was impolite for him to force me to buy new clothes. ! The weekend before school started, he took me to a restaurant for dinner, the restaurant where we first dated, and then he proposed in public! Kate-When I was studying in England, Eddm flew over to see me and took me to Paris for the weekend. We went sightseeing around, and he behaved strangely, which annoyed me a little. Later, he insisted that we sit on a bridge (I later learned that it was Xinqiao Bridge), then he bent down to tie his shoelaces, looked up and began to propose to me, with a ring in his hand! I was completely stunned (I didn't realize it before) and stared at Eddm for a few minutes without any response. Eddm later claimed repeatedly that I didn't answer him at all. It was the most magical and romantic moment of my life! Susan ―― My husband proposed to me in his college dormitory on Christmas Eve. At that time, he said that he didn't want my family to see Christmas presents, so he gave them to me on Christmas Eve in advance. This is a beautifully packaged box. When I opened it, there was a smaller box. When I opened it again, there was another box. I just sat there and opened a dozen boxes. Finally, there is a small jewelry box with a big diamond ring shining in it. I thought it was fake. He teased me about the whole thing and made fun of me. However, when he knelt down and took my hand and asked me if I would marry him, I began to realize that it might be a real diamond ring, really! Linda, one of my favorite bands, came to our city for a concert. Jerry bought a ticket and invited me to see it. Between performances, he proposed to me, and I said yes. Because the performance was so wonderful, the audience applauded and cheered constantly, and I quickly plunged into it again. After the party, Jerry was a little depressed. When he sent me home, he looked embarrassed. I'm a little surprised, too. This man just proposed to me without a ring. We all work in the same laboratory. When I went to work the next day, he came up to me several times, looking uneasy, trying to say something and swallowing back. As soon as the lunch break arrived, Jerry called me to his office, closed the door and said gloomily, "Have you thought about it? Give me an answer anyway. I can't do anything now! " I asked, "Answer what?" He said, "Answer my proposal!" I said I promised yesterday! "What? ! "He shouted," is it? I didn't hear it! " He quickly took the ring out of his pocket, put it on for me and breathed a long sigh of relief. The long proposal finally came to fruition. Melissa-I went to a special dance of "Women's Night" with some girlfriends. Halfway through the song, DJ stopped playing music and announced that he had a special guest. My mood at that time was jumping, and I was annoyed that he stopped playing. I turned my head and saw Tim coming across the ballroom in a cowboy costume, right in front of me-in the middle of the dance floor, kneeling down on one knee! Tim doesn't like country music, so I know he must be dressed like this because he loves me, and he is very romantic in front of everyone. This is such a special night ―― flowers, diamond ring, slow dance ... I am a really lucky girl! It was the third anniversary of our acquaintance.
