Aww to some of these and WTF to others. I shared my story in the other thread.
I lied about not wanting a showy proposal. I just remembered what my dream proposal used to be: at a Bon Jovi concert while they're playing one of my favorite songs, after Jon Bon Jovi dedicates it to us. LOL. I'm over that now.

I kinda love this. lol.
I'm not sure I would mind this, thinking about it more. The only man who would ever know this would be someone I already knew I wanted to marry. Plus I want someone who willingly goes to Bon Jovi concerts with me.
We were visiting friends in Philly for the weekend and were walking around shopping and just generally frolicking around. We started talking about getting married and then just started picking a date. We settled on one and then stopped and said, "did we just get engaged?" And then we were giddy goofballs the rest of the afternoon. I just wear one ring since we eloped.
He made dinner for me and my teenaged niece. His son ( 5 yrs old) was there. We always talked about my DH being my knight in shining armor and he said it was really hard to find a white horse to ride in on and sweep me away.....so on the night he proposed, he had his son give me a gift bag and it has a white toy horse in it. When I saw what it was I looked up and DH was on his knee with a ring!! My niece had no idea what was happening at first!!
I was in college and XH had graduated. I went home to see him for Valentine's Day. He told me to bring a nice dress to wear as he was planning a nice dinner out. He never planned anything. That was enough for me to know what was happening but then he also got the car washed, shaved twice that day, and made an actual dinner reservation. So no surprise at all.
My response when I saw the ring was, "So how big is this?" Umm. Yes, I was young and stupid.
Mine took place in New Hope PA at a lovely B&B. We spent the weekend and one night at dinner the waiter said, I will bring the dessert tray over and I said no thanks...Stefan said lets just look and I said no, I didn't want anything. This went back and forth a few times, and I said look if you want dessert get it...so the waiter brings over the tray and in the middle of the tray was my gorgeous ring in its box. He got down on one knee and everyone clapped and one table sent over a bottle of champagne. I said yes of course and it was the best thing I ever did! He is the best!

Bwhahahaha! Don't you die a little inside at your younger self? I laugh my arse off at some of the stupid shit I've said.
I was actually thinking yesterday that I don't want P to spend a lot of money on an engagement ring. And I don't want a big, expensive second wedding. Because neither one really matters. However, the first time around I was alllll concerned with the ring and how fancy the wedding was. My my, how things change.

Here with you on that.
I basically let my wedding happen to me and gave no fucks as to what happened, so the second time around I want to be excited about the planning and making it something representative of the two of us. Cost/fanciness are not factors, really, just the making it special because we're excited about the rest of our lives and being with people we love for that day. We can do that with little cost.

I was actually thinking of telling him that we should just elope. I don't even know if I *want* a second wedding.
