I've had multiple teachers tell me the unique way they proposed to their wife/fiance and I thought we could make a pretty amusing list of funny way people could propose
I could start but I want somebody else to first. :D
 
Ok so the couple is walking their dog and it is quite romantic evening. But suddenly the dog stops. The guy takes no notice of the dog but says:
"Baby I love you."
"I love you too," she replies but smells something funky.
Then the guy drops to one knee.
"Will you marry me?" he asks.
She starts laughing.
"I'm being serious!" he says
She laughs harder.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Look down."
He does and sees his knee in fresh doggy poo. He gets up, puts the ring on her finger.
"Well?"
"Yes, I'll marry you, but you can walk ten feet behind me and the dog. You stink."
 
My husband proposed on Teddy Roosevelt's front porch :D. He's our favorite president (and how is it that we both even /have/ a favorite president, much less the same favorite president?). The poor guy walked three miles in his dress shoes, which should have made me suspicious. We didn't realize it was that far from the train station in Oyster Bay to Sagamore Hill. Picture a summer day in New York with 85% humidity and you'll have it about right. By the time we got to the site, we were both hot and exhausted. Of course, there was no air conditioning, and when we made it to the third floor I felt like I was about to pass out. He says that my face went stark white; he's an EMT, so he hustled me outside and gave me a water bottle. We sat on the front porch, and he only had about 10 minutes before the next group went through...fortunately, I was feeling better. When he stood up, I thought we were heading for the Roosevelt museum next door. Instead, he presented me with a ring that my mother (who's a jeweler) had made.

A very nice couple gave us a ride back to the train station :D. You should have seen my family's faces when I introduced him at the reunion the next day as my fiance instead of my boyfriend.
 
My brothers friend had a Marine Corps honor guard stand at attention as she walked through their isle to him, and then he proposed to her. Those Texas A&M kids.. :D
 
My husband and I are both scuba diving instructors. One day, before we were engaged, he told me my old boss (manager of a diving resort) wanted to videotape some divers on a small sunken boat in about 40 feet of water in front of the resort. My old boss, Jack, and my then-boyfriend Mike and I had been knowing each other for a number of years and have dived together often. (After I no longer worked for Jack, I would still visit and stay with him and his wife and kids and dive, etc.)

So, we were all geared up and ready to jump into the water, when my husban says to Jack, "Don't you need a slate? I thought you were bringing a slate on this dive." I was surprised, because a slate is for writing notes to your buddy underwater, and the three of us didn't need that in order to communicate, having been together so long. I was already a little surprised because my boyfriend, who had been diving lots longer than me, had just had trouble stringing together his weight belt!

But Jack, my old boss was smart, and when I said we could go without the slate, he said, "I need to make a shot sheet." This, I understand as I used to produce a lot of videos for my clients, and you had to continually label the shots so when you went back through raw footage, you would know exactly what you were looking at.

So, Jack gets the slate, we submerge and cruise out to the wreck, and my Mike stops in the sand and hands me the slate. I think it's going to be some silly joke, as my man is quite witty, but it said, "Jax, I love you. Will you marry me?" I started laughing, and my mask flooded (if you dive, you know, when your face changes position and breaks the seal with the mask, water floods in). Meanwhile, Jack really is videotaping this -- so on the tape you see me laughing, and trying to clear my mask, Mike jamming the engagement ring on the wrong hand, it's hysterical.

Finally I get the ring on the correct hand, and I write, "Yes!" on the slate. Then Mike does the universal diver signal of "OK" to the camera, but you can hear Jack yelling (as much as you can yell underwater), "Kiss her!" and you see mee floating around behind Mike, trying to get his attention so we can end this production with a kiss, but he's so happy it's all over, he's just grinning and signalling OK to the camera ...

It's a lovely underwater mess. :) Finally, we do manage a kiss, and then we go swimming off into the deep blue. It's actually quite romantic.
 
^Aww, that's such a cute story!! :D

My dad proposed to my mom in his parents' kitchen. I find that quite amusing... lol...
 
I'm afraid neither of my proposals were nearly as dramatic as the eventual partings. If I ever find myself proposing to another woman, I may say to her: "Not only have I outlived both my previous wives, but there was one girl from college whom I proposed to and got turned down by--and SHE'S dead now, too. So every woman I've ever proposed to has predeceased me. You'd better be sure you're serious about loving me."
 
LOL, Jax. Any idea he was going to propose?


Two friends of mine know that they are going to get married. I've gone with him to give a woman's opinion on rings and she knows it. LOL. But she told me one day, he came up with a ring box while she was half asleep and wearing her old sweats - she said she was so worried he would propose when she felt like she looked gross and was relieved that it was a little silver ring he saw that made him think of her.
The two of them are so good to each other. They keep me from becoming cynical about relationships between people my age. :rolleyes:

Uhm, you know that's pretty scary, huh?

Well, anyway, when I was in Paris this summer with my family, me and my brother and sister climbed the Eiffel Tower (and nearly died while doing it, it's a whole lotta stairs up there!). While on the tower, we were witnesses of TWO proposals! Suddenly, everyone around us did: "Aaaaaaah..." and started clapping.. I think it's very romantic but not very original. But it's still more romantic than most things..
I just wish I had a romantic boyfriend... *sigh*
 
Sister 1: her boyfriend visits her where she lives with his friend and his friend's car. It’s late evening. He’s like “yeah let’s go somewhere tonight…”
She: “where’s your friend?”
He: “umm… he went to get cigarettes from the petrol station.”
She: *finds that weird*
He: “come on, I have the key to the car, we can’t just leave it here… let’s just drive around a bit.”
She: *find that VERY weird*
They: *drive around*
He: “I need to pee. Let’s stop here, there’s a lake nearby.”
He: *gets out* *gets back in*
A few minutes later, same thing.
He: oh I need to pee again. Let’s stop here.
She: *can just shake her head in wonder*
He: *gets out* *stays away for a long while* *comes back* esther, come with me, there’s a lovely spot out there at the lake
They: go there. It’ dark and they nearly fall down a slope into the lake. However, he’s prepared torches and blankets and stuff. very romantic.
He: let’s just spend the evening here... *tells her how wonderful she is* *suddenly stops* oh, I forgot the… uuuuh, I forgot to lock the car. *climbs up dangerous slope an d goes to car because he forgot the rings*
She: *is slowly getting where this is going*
He: *comes back* esther… do you realize what I’m doing?
She: *is annoyed that he asks because she can’t just say “yeah you’re proposing”* *avoids question*
He: *proposes*
She: *says yes*
Awwwww… :rolleyes:

sister 2: boyfriend visits her. they go for a walk (they often do that)
he: let's go to that place where we went yesterday, what you liked so much.
she: ah, no, i'm tired...
he: let's at least go to that tree! *tries to get her off unromantic road*
she: okay.
they: *go under tree*
he: can you imagine what i'm gonna say?
she: *avoids question*
he: *proposes*
she: :eek: but didn't we say we would see how i's going first for half a year before we decide anything.
he: it's half a year... we have an official and an unofficial date, remember?
she: *calculates* yeah... 6 months and 2 days...
he: *grins*
she: *says yes*
mf: *freaks out when she hears it*
(that was about 10 days ago)

i hope my future husband doesn't make such a fuss. picknicks and going for a walk are so... wah! but it is kind of cute...

Awwww! How sweet!
I actually saw this on TV... A man and his girlfriend were at home, and they were watching TV, and then the microwave goes off and the guy goes 'could you get that for me?' and she really didn't want to, but she goes and opens the microwave and there's a ring and a card that says 'Will you marry me?'

Story #2:
I was in kindergarten, and it was during nap time (oh, how I miss thee!), and all of a sudden while we were sleeping the 3rd grade teacher opens the door and turns on all the lights and said 'WE NEED TO GET YOU IN ORDER!' So she gave us all a card half the size of a posterboard with letters on it that when put together spelled out 'Will you marry me? Please? (the last card had a ring)', and at the end the 3rd grade teacher's brother (my kindergarten teacher's fiance) kneeled with the real ring. And I remember feeling soooo disappointed because instead of the ring I got a question mark (sorry, random, but still). And so our kindergarten teacher comes in expecting us to be sleeping and instead is greeted by a chorus of 'WILL YOU MARRY ME? PLEASE?' And a guy kneeling, and she started crying and said yes, and quite frankly, I didn't understand anything that was going on, but I knew it was good. :D
 
It happens the same way in some movie.. I think it's 'Meet The Parents'
I remember it because it was really cute and the kids were standing in the wrong order.. And the guy kept tying his shoelaces and trying to sign them to get into the right order.
But I think it's totally cute!
 
i wrote this a few years ago and roughly translated it. it's how jake proposed to lucy. in case anyone likes. :p

I opened the door into the living room. I didn’t get any further.
Three pairs of eyes were focused on me. One of them belonged to my father – looking like a sleeping thunderstorm. My mother’s face was one big sigh. And the third one didn’t belong here. I believed to have seen it in the context of fences and scarf-stories. Yes, maybe it even was to blame that I believed in love at first sight now. But what did I do here, in my home, into which only he first two pairs of eyes belonged?
I stood still and silent and saw Jake’s eyes sparkle. Apparently, he found all this very amusing. Well.
“Hi Lucy” he broke the silence. My parents murmured a greeting as well. Which they’d never done before, by the way. Jake leaned over the table a little and mock-whispered:
“Does she always stand there for that long in the mornings? Isn’t that a sign of dementia?”
I proceeded to breathe again and the good, well-brought-up girl inside me wanted to say “Jake, no! My parents are not like that!”
But I couldn’t move.
“Why I’m here, you ask?” Jake went on unaffectedly. “I thought it’d be nice to get to know your parents and, since I’m already here, I asked them if I can take you with me.”
I would have keeled over if I’d been able to think. But I stood on my spot second after second and wondered how to get away from here. I noticed the rest of my body was still there when all my blood rushed into my cheeks.
“Whoever you are, I don’t know you. And I don’t think I want to” I said and quickly went over to the table to sit down. Jake seemed to be real. My parents looked at the whole thing without understanding a lot.
“So, for you to not remain ignorant any longer: my name is jake. J. A. K. E.”
I just nodded, perplex, and surprisingly my father joined the conversation, seemingly continuing an earlier conversation.
“Well, what is Lucy’s opinion on this? That’s the most important thing, isn’t it?”
“What is my opinion about what?” I asked. Why did I have to ask complicated questions this early in the morning? Jake helped me out.
“He wants to know what you think about me.”
I had to laugh. That was too funny, now.
“Hmm, a little dirty, the shirt” I said. Everyone was dirty around here, but I liked to tease him about it. “Apart from that, seems nice enough. Even spells his name for me. I’d have to marry one like him…“
My father raised an eyebrow while a tiny smile appeared on my mom’s face.
“And why should I just give you my daughter?” my father asked. I rolled my eyes. Of course, those were my parents!
But Jake just smiled.
“So that she gets something decent to eat. She’s sitting at the breakfast table, we’ve already eaten and no one offers Lucy anything. No wonder she’s so thin.”
And with that he pushed everything edible in my direction. I grinned and made myself a sandwich. Typical. He just wanted to marry me to fill me up with food.
“Well, I do wonder if you can provide for my daughter, you know.” My father. I could answer this one.
“He can. Actually, he’s better at it than I am myself. He always sends me home before dark, gives me all his scarves and lets me sit in the rocking chair.”
Jake grinned and nudged me. Slightly.
 
I'm sorry, but who are Jake and Lucy? *feels pretty stupid for not knowing it*

When my uncle proposed to my aunt, he hid the ring in a plastic surprise egg in her dessert. Cute!
