I had a fantastic time at the wedding Fayre at Sopwell House.
The staff were very friendly and it’s such a beautiful venue for a wedding.
I was delighted to meet so many romantic husbands-to-be, but is there a worthy winner amongst these creative proposals?
I'll let you decide:
The 'Double-bluff' Proposal
We had been to a friend's wedding.
I was a bit upset because we'd been going out for ages and Matthew still hadn't proposed.
I said that even if he asked I would say 'No' just out of spite!
When we got home from the wedding, I was just walking out of the kitchen when my partner said 'Would you still say No if I had one of these?'
He was standing in the lounge with the ring in his hand and proposed straight away.
I stood still in shock and said 'Yes'.
Little did I realise he had already bought the ring and had sought my parent's permission beforehand.
As for the double-bluff, did it work or didn't it ??
Speechless Proposal Acceptance
It was Christmas morning, I was just waking up and rolled over in bed.
My partner, Rob was sitting on the bed with the ring in a box.
As soon as he proposed I started to cry and nodded.
Sadly, my Dad is no longer with us, so Rob had asked my mum's permission beforehand - she said 'Yes!'
Sleepy 2011 Proposal
My partner had planned a romantic proposal at midnight on New Year's Eve.
We'd had a wonderful 3 course meal at home and settled down to watch the fireworks at midnight.
By 11:30pm I was starting to nod off, so Olly decided to bring the proposal forward.
He got down on one knee with the ring in his hand and proposed.
I was so excited I said 'Yes' straight away.
He gave me the box and I had to ask him to put the ring on my finger.
He had asked permission from my father first, so my family all knew.
Packed Restaurant Proposal
We had gone out for a meal with my family in Blackpool.
In the middle of a packed restaurant, my partner Roy, went down on one knee with the ring in his hand and proposed.
I laughed nervously and said 'Yes'.
We had discssed ring styles, but I didn't realise he'd taken one of my rings to get the correct ring size.
My father was in in more of a state than me, he was in tears.
Misty Lake Proposal
We were on holiday in Switzerland by Lake Geneva.
It was a beautiful setting, with mist on the lake.
My partner Paul got down on one knee with the ring in his hand and proposed.
My immediate reaction was: 'What are you doing?'
His reply was: 'I'm proposing, you silly woman!'
I then said 'Yes'.
Apparently the ring was hidden in his clothes, but the scanner didn't beep (for security reasons, I can't divulge which airport).
Before going away on holiday, Paul had taken my father down the pub and asked his permission.
Cold Proposal
My partner Sam had booked a surprise holiday. I was so excited at the prospect of going somewhere hot and exotic in September.
When we arrived at the airport, he announced the destination: New York. 'How cool', I thought.
The next morning I realised just how cool it was, literally Freezing cold (so much for the heatwave, he'd promised me!)
We went for a Horse & Carriage ride around Central Park, Sam got down on one knee in the carriage and proposed.
I had waited ages for him to propose, so that when he actually did, I confess I swore and cried.
We then went on to Tiffany's where he had booked a table with Champagne waiting for us.
I have no idea where we are planning to go on honeymoon, but I fancy somewhere hot!
Oops, forgot the Champagne
In June, my partner took me for a romantic picnic by a river.
We sat under a beautiful willow tree, it was so pictureque.
Whilst having our picnic, Tony knelt down and proposed.
I said 'Yes' straight away.
He had apparently spent ages researching the location.
Unfortunately he had forgotten to sneak in a bottle of Champagne, so we celebrated with 'Appletizer' instead.
