My favorite proposal-related comment. (I know because I didn't see any other ones in my "saved" list while I was tracking this one down.): &gt;It will be fine! My husband proposed while we were on a trip. Well, he wanted to do it at the convention we were going to, but kept leaving the ring at the hotel in the morning. All weekend passed by with no proposal. That Sunday, we were waiting standby for a flight home. Planes kept filling up and we couldn't get home. I was freaking out because I was in my last year of uni and had already missed classes to come. If we didn't get a flight that day, I would miss another day's worth of classes. &gt;So then my husband, who was sitting next to me, swivels down onto the ground in front of me on one knee while grabbing the ring from a side pocket in his backpack. I was so flabbergasted I honestly don't remember him saying anything to me. He claims he said something about that weekend being the best adventure he has ever had with me and that he wants to have many more together. My brain was pretty much fried from the weekend and trying to get a plane. &gt;Any proposal where you don't accidentally wish her dead or maimed will be a great proposal because it is coming from the person she loves. If you think she's worth it, and she thinks you're worth it too, it works out. Maybe the story's sweet, or maybe it's funny, or maybe it's embarrassing... whatever. The only important thing is that it's always *positive*, because it's a positive experience; the story will reflect that when it's told. ^(*Edit: Formatting/Spelling*)
