Our Proposal: New Year's Eve in Brazil

Deborah and Marty celebrated the New Year in Buzios, Brazil, with Deb’s family. Marty had been acting weird all day, and was overly excited about the New Years celebration to come that night. Unfortunately, Deborah’s father was not feeling well, so at 11:30 Deb and her sisters decided to take their parents some food in their hotel room.

The girls got back to the festivities at 11:55. When Deborah walked up, Marty was sweating profusely! Deborah asked Marty if everything was ok, he was glad she was back. At 11:59, Marty grabbed Deborah’s hand to watch the fireworks being released over the ocean barge. He turned to her and said “I don’t want to go another year without you being my wife.” He proceeded to get down on one knee and asked her to marry him. The fireworks started to go off and it began to rain! Deborah’s sister Barbie was there to document everything.

Our Proposal: What's He Waiting For?

Chris and I had been dating for about three and a half years and when we began looking for engagement rings I finally found one I absolutely loved. It was a single round solitaire diamond on the very classic Tiffany setting. After finding the ring I wanted, I thought that Chris would wait a while before giving the ring to me as he wanted to make sure it was a surprise. If you know me, you know it’s hard to keep surprises from me as I have a very curious personality. A month had passed by when we went to visit his family in Des Moines, Iowa. During the visit, Chris’s sister got engaged and although I was happy for her I couldn’t help but feel a bit envious and more impatient than ever. I continued to wonder why Chris was waiting so long to give me thing ring, and he kept on insisting that he wanted to plan something special. I stressed to him that I didn’t need a big production. I just wanted something from the heart, something sincere. One Friday, we decided to go to the movies and eat dinner. I had a feeling that night he was going to propose because earlier in the day he mentioned that he wanted to go to the Monnelisa which is a nice bar attached to the Hotel Sorella on the Westside of Houston, and if you know Chris you know that he is more of a sports bar kind of guy. After the movie, we walked over to the Monnelisa where he ordered us both martinis. We sat out on the deck area where there was a lit pool. This is when I thought he was going to propose. We finished our drinks, and he mentioned that maybe we could go to another bar. Disappointed that he still hadn’t proposed, I agreed and so we walked down to the courtyard. Again I got my hopes up thinking he was going to propose right there in the middle of the courtyard. To my surprise, we walked right through the courtyard and went to the next bar. I was soon giving up on the idea that that was the night I was going to get engaged. Driving home, I began to get upset. I kept thinking to myself, “What’s he waiting for?” We finally got home. I went straight to the bathroom to wash my face and grab my nightgown from the closet. As I walked into our bedroom, there he was, on one knee, and I couldn’t help but smile. All he said was “Stacie, I love you, and I didn’t mean to make you wait so long, but, will you marry me?” He pulled out the ring, and of course, I said YES.

Our Proposal: Picnic in the Park, Katy, Texas

I want to thank you for helping me pick out a beautiful ring for my princess. We both love it!

I told you I would let you know how it went, so here it goes. I took her to a park here in Katy, and I set up a blanket near the pond. I brought a rose, a bottle of wine from the winery I took her to on our first date, some chocolate covered fruit from Edible Arrangements, a portable ipod player and an ipod with some of her favorite music on it. I also brought a marriage book we have been reading titled "Marriage On The Rock." I planned it out so that we would be on the last chapter of the book. I read her the last chapter and then I read her some scripture verses from the bible pertaining to marriage. Some of the versus were Genesis 2:18-24, 1 Corinthians 7:1-16, Ephesians 5:22-23, Colossians 3:18-19, 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, Song of Songs 8:6-8. Then I stood her up and proposed, she loved it. Then we drank our wine and ate our dessert while we listened to her favorite music. I brought my camera so we could take pictures. It was an amazing time. Thanks again for all your help!
