My husband stood on a table at a nightclub during the band's break and told me I should marry him. Then noticing the expression on my face, cleared his throat and asked rather sheepishly. Haha. Not one of his more confident moments.

I'm sure I will eventually. <br /><br />When my hubby proposed to me, he was still in College. I had finished work and when I got home, he had set the table and had dinner ready. He had just gotten take-out and set it all up so it looked nice...lol. I figured something was going on but wasn't sure what. When we finished eating, he took out the ring, got down on one knee and proposed. It was very sweet. <br /><br />And, that was 21 years ago. :)Gisele LeBlanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03266956633017568772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-57615754272361168602014-11-20T06:55:52.217-05:002014-11-20T06:55:52.217-05:00I haven't written a proposal scene, but I love...I haven't written a proposal scene, but I love reading them, whether it's a surprise or there's been a buildup.

I was fairly confident of the answer, I have to admit, as she'd practically dared me to do it some months before.
