The other day I was with a group of people and everyone told their engagement stories, when people asked me I told them we just decided to get married. One of my friends is on her 3rd marriage and each man proposed to her romantically in Italy, Mexico etc....I had to buy my own cubic zirconia ring online and then just say we were engaged. (Never got a diamond but never really wanted one). I would have liked a proposal but my husband doesn’t do anything romantic like that. I feel kind of like in missed out on tradition.
You know how many of these fancy proposals end up in divorce anyways? Case in point, your friend. If you are happy, you are happy.
Last spring I managed to walk through a "romantic" proposal. I routinely went through the grounds of a cathedral on my way home from work. One day there was a family standing in the scenic spot in front of the church, so I just walked through them. As I passed, the one young guy dropped to one knee, and I noticed that the other people all had their phones out, taking video or photos. Whoops! But I figured it couldn't be that much of a surprise - "hey honey, we've been dating for a while, let's go for a Tuesday afternoon walk to the picturesque church with our parents and siblings....".
Ha, that literally just happened to us a few weeks ago in Savannah. Shouldn't have been surprised though, we saw at least half a dozen weddings and more than a few bachelorette parties, walking around the big fountain on a Sunday we were bound to see at least one proposal! I did feel intrusive and it confirmed my long held view that I NEVER want to be proposed to in public!
BF & I have been together 2.5 years, no plans to get married any time soon. BUT, we talked about revisiting the situation in a few years when both our kids have graduated from high school. Sooo, are we engaged?
Both of my marriages were a long the lines of "We should get married" "ok". And Done!!
Both men wanted to marry me, I find that uber romantic. I'm good with it.
I can tell you that DH's vows were so very romantic I couldn't stop crying

I've had a crappy proposal, too. So what. You cannot turn back time, so now what? Divorce him over it? You gotta get over it. Life is too short to worry about a proposal during the whole marriage.
Lol so let me get this straight. Someone told you about their proposals from THREE MARRIAGES and how awesome they were. And you are focusing on the cutesey proposal part and not the THREE MARRIAGE part.
People are funny aren't they. You should be thankful for your husband and your marriage.
I didn't get a formal proposal - but I don't really care. I have the man - I don't need that other stuff. Besides, his "non-proposal" was exactly right - that was the point of it. Not the bling, not the showing off on Facebook - it's the meaning.

yeah, weird, right?
OP, maybe your next marriage proposal will be better.

You're jealous of your 3 time married friend because she got cute proposals for at least 2 failed marriages. I'm really shaking my head over this one.
She had storybook proposals in memorable far away lands. Probably had 5-carat diamond engagement rings slid up her finger overlooking a perfect sunset over the Mediterranean. Yet, she did it three times which tells me for every great story she has to tell there are likely ten lousy ones to follow.
If your husband loves and respects you, then you already won. Fairy tales are overrated.

You definitely put it much better than I could!
