Being the megalomaniac that I am I know I would have liked a public engagement but my husband is the strong, silent type. Heh.
He asked me over the phone. I was a sophomore at Gonzaga University. He was a junior at Montana State. We'd been together about 18 months and some of my friends had been teasing me, saying, 'Why don't you guys just get married already?' Heh.
So, I told him that, and said, 'So, when are you going to ask me to marry you?' And I laughed to indicate I was not serious.
Silence.
"Will you marry me?"
Then 20 minutes of berating him for asking me over the phone. Next time I saw him, he got down on one knee in his dorm room, and proposed again. No ring, though, so then we went and picked out a ring a few months later when he had enough money to buy me one. Then he asked me again when he got the ring. LOL.
What's really sad is I lost my engagement ring when we were living in Vegas. But for our anniversary this year he got me a purty new ring. Yay! So, 10 years later, I have the perfect engagement ring.
Been together 12 years, married for 8. He's really awesome.
