I keep pestering my fella to propose 
he keeps saying no
I gave birth on 29th Feb and that's the day of the year 'women can propose' I was having contractions and asked him to marry me as a joke. Still said no even though I was giving birth to his son
He said if he hasn't proposed by the next leap year, I can and he'll say yes
I'd rather him propose though, I'd love something dead romantic

Got engaged at Wembley seeing our favourite band (we met whilst queuing for tickets to see them). Was engaged for 3 years and covid nearly spoilt our wedding but we postponed 4 months and had a small do abroad in our favourite place with 5 guests and our baby boy. Absolute perfection and wouldn’t change a thing.
We got engaged at Disneyland Paris in Nov 19. I know it’s a bit tacky but we normally go every year and it’s somewhere that holds loads of happy memories. Our wedding is supposed to be in June but who knows what will happen with that 
We got engaged in a hotel in north Norfolk
I had been pestering for ages and gave up. After we had our littlest about 5 months later he did propose!
our wedding was everything I could of dreamed of.
I just wish I could experience it all over again!
The funny thing is I’m obsessed with bath and body works in the USA etc
Everytime we went anywhere that had one i would get candles and hand sanitizers
So I had this idea as favours I’d do hand sanitizers, my mum bless her bought back 200 of them from Boston for the favours.
How significant was that for 2 years to come when everyone needed one there was my special favours for them

Am not married or engaged, and I don't think I will entertain the idea until I'm about 30 (am 27 at the mo)
When the moment to propose does arrive I hope to be in South Africa, and in particular Victoria Falls. And to walk my partner across the bridge over the falls, get half way and then ask her hand in marriage

I have been and it’s beautiful
Still hoping for the day we can relocate to SA
I have been there a couple of times when I was living in SA as a child. Always left a big impression on me, and that's the place where I want to propose and just hope she says "Oh, go on then!"
Got engaged in Walt Disney World in 2019! We’d been to Typhoon Lagoon for the day, just got back to our resort and I was knackered so had a nap - my fella then woke me up 20 minutes later saying we needed to get to Magic Kingdom, I was really cranky and asked if we could go a bit later but he said we needed to go now. So I stomped round the room, throwing on my clothes and make up like a little madam and I remember he was oddly being super sweet and not biting back. We got to MK, I went to Starbucks on Main Street to get a coffee as I was half-asleep and he said he would meet me in there (at the time I thought he was going to the toilet but he was actually at Guest Relations getting ‘Just Engaged’ badges), he met me at Starbucks and we headed down Main Street towards the castle. He wanted a picture together but couldn’t decide which photographer to use, I said just choose one! We got right in front of the castle, took a few pictures with one of the PhotoPass photographers then he asked if we could take one more photo - then he pulls out the ring and got down on one knee! Everyone around us started cheering. He’s never let me live it down
Supposed to be getting married June 2021 but who knows!

I've never married, although been with my partner for 10 years, but neither of this are that bothered.
However I did one propose to an ex. Although it doesn't count, as a) I was drunk, b) It was in tesco car park, c) the ring was a ring pull from a coke tin, and d) I fell into puddle as soon as i did it. Funnily that relationship petered out, can't think why......

I’m desperate to get married, and yes I want a marriage but sorry not sorry I want a wedding too! 
but he gets very defensive and weird when I bring it up and we end up arguing, he doesn’t see the point but is happy to have kids with me?? So part of me thinks it’s just the way his mind works and in his mind kids are more of a commitment but part of me wonders if he just wants to keep his options open if we broke up..

Definitely want to get married abroad!
The thought of paying £30+ on meals, for guests I’m not that arsed about, but would feel obliged to invite, e.g aunts and “family friends” would annoy me
I think the day quickly turns into being about everyone else, if I got married here it would be a hotel, which even for <80 guests is a small fortune. Plus my guests would most likely get plastered with drink/drugs, which wouldn’t make it a “special day” for me
I would like to get married in St Lucia, tell guests 3 years in advance, if you wanna come brilliant. You’ve got plenty of time to save, by making our wedding destination your summer hol that year, if not then I’m not arsed. 3 years is plenty of notice

I was soooo like that!! We were together 3 years and then had our daughter, people I knew who had been together less time and no children were getting engaged and setting wedding dates! It infuriated me and I felt like I was just there to give him a child rather than a life time commitment even though we loved each other dearlyI’m desperate to get married, and yes I want a marriage but sorry not sorry I want a wedding too!
he kept me on my toes and when I was 35 weeks pregnant with our second he text my dad asking he if “minded” if he asked me to marry him... this was a running joke after I knew and my dad mentioned it in his speech at the wedding saying he kept him waiting for a few days before replying
“Yeah if you want”
I didn’t think it would happen! So there’s still time!! When you least expect it
That’s what everyone says but the problem is I don’t want kids before getting married! So we’re in a catch 22, I won’t get married without kids, but he doesn’t want to get married
and...this might sound harsh but I don’t want to give into what he wants, give him children without getting married then resent him for the rest of my life that he got what he wanted (kids) but I didn’t get what I wanted and I realise that sound very childish and petty but I can’t deny it anymore it’s how I feel We didn’t even want kidsThat’s what everyone says but the problem is I don’t want kids before getting married! So we’re in a catch 22, I won’t get married without kids, but he doesn’t want to get married...
I got engaged in Orlando last year, up the i360 (Florida's version of the London Eye) I was 7 months pregnant with our second baby and had our then 2 year old with us. He had been hinting for ages so I knew it was coming whilst in Florida but expected it in the magic kingdom so was nice it was a surprise in the end!
We should have been getting married this year but postponed until next year although it isn't look very likely at the moment. We want a day with no or minimal restrictions and have a full celebration with all our family and friends. We have everything we need already with our children and home and already committed to each other in that sense so we would rather wait for the day we want.

We got engaged in Mustique. We got up really early and went to watch the sunrise. It was so simple but absolutely perfect.
My husband proposed on a cliff top in Cornwall. Totally unexpected (we had been together a few years and I knew it would come eventually, just didn’t know it would be on that holiday!)
Our wedding was big enough,120 people in a nice hotel (married in a church). It’s not the wedding either of us would initially have gone for, but my parents had done 3 weddings in 2 years and this was the last and wanted it to be a big finale (the others were big too mind you!). They were paying so we just went Along with it. That said, it was a really great day and we enjoyed it thoroughly. But what a ridiculous amount of money to spend on 12hrs
Now married 9.5yrs and have 3 kids plus 1 due next year.

I got engaged at the top of the Empire State Building on my 30th birthday!
We went on that simulator thing half way up and it made me feel mega travel sick and I got off in a sicky horrid mess and just wanted to go back to the hotel but my (now husband) insisted we kept going to the top!
Kind of glad we did now!
Ten years and 2 kids later!

I have been with my boyfriend for 8 years and we aren’t engaged or married yet and have no children. We both do want to get married but we got together young (I was 17 & he was 21) so loads of other things have been a higher priority than getting married etc which has included my partner getting a bachelors, masters and a chartership.
I would honestly LOVE to not even get engaged and just elope somewhere abroad (probably italy) and have it a complete secret (I have never been the type of girl to dream about my wedding, I just want a marriage) but my partner will not have it at all as his family is very traditional. There are a few reasons I don’t want a ‘normal’ wedding. First one is that my mum and dad broke up when I was about 5 and have basically not spoken since then, they really don’t get along and I couldn’t imagine seeing them ever in the same room, I think I would find it insanely difficult to see, though I’m sure they would be civil. Secondly my parents and my ‘in laws’ are polar opposites and even in the 8 years we have been together they have never met and I would like to keep it that way. My dad has been on benefits since about 2001 and my ‘in laws’ are very middle class (they are millionaires to put it bluntly), they would clash so much and be extremely awkward. Third reason is neither me or my partner are close to our outer family (aunts, uncles, cousins etc) so don’t see the point in spending our hard earned cash on them, I would rather use our money to have one hell of a honeymoon for us to enjoy as a couple. I have no idea what we will do to be honest.
Do anyone else have difficult families which makes having a ‘normal’ wedding possible?
Sorry for my ramblings, I am a first class waffler
