I was just wondering how did he go about proposing to you?

My 3rd anniversary of him asking is right around the corner. We are having problems with Illinois, so right now Roger "proposing" is about as close to an anniversary as I can get.

It was June 26, 2001. We were sitting in the visiting room basically by ourselves and all of sudden the phone started ringing, CO's were coming in and out and he could tell something was going on.. Seems some real rocket scientists were running from the police and heading straight towards the prison thru a cornfield. I just shook my head.

Well, we were sitting there talking and holding hands and all of sudden he started shaking. I mean his arms literally started shaking. I looked at him and said what's wrong with you, he said nothing, I was like yea right ! What's wrong !

Then he said it, he took my hands and said, "Would you give the me the honor and privledge of being my wife" before he could even finish I said YES, looking straight into his eyes.

We had been together for nine months at that time and that was our second day of visiting. It was almost perfect, no one else around, just me and him, he actually kept apologizing, saying I am sorry being in prison is not how I want to do this, It shouldnt have to be this way. But I just squeezed his hand and said, that doesnt matter, all that matters is me and you.

So that is my story. I would like to hear from others. How did your man go about asking you to be his wife and have you been able to get married yet.

Have a great day !

I asked him. We have been best friends for 14 years. He is the only friend I still have from childhood. He's been in since 1998.

I was talking to him on the phone, and he asked me why I wasn't dating anymore. I told him I was waiting for him to come home so I could sweep him off his feet.

He said "are you serious?"

"I said, more serious than I've ever been about anything in my life - I love you more than life itself, will you marry me?"

he said "I have waited five years to hear you tell me you love me, I thought I was going to have to kidnap you when I got out and hold you hostage until you gave in"

I asked him if he was sure, and he asked me if I was crazy! hahaha... I guess he had held a secret crush the whole time he was in, but didn't want to put the burden on me of having to wait for him. He didn't want to lose me as a friend, so he kept mum through everything.

Great thread, thanks for letting me share :)

He said "Baby, I need you. Will you be my lady? Will you be my wife?"

It was right after a big huge dramatic argument we were having long before he went in. We had been together at that point about 3 years. We had been talking about getting married and I already had the ring (long story). I had given it back while we were fighting. Well, he got down on one knee and said with tears in his eyes (he's such a tough guy so I was very touched) "I don't want you to be with anyone else but me and I don't want anyone else. I love you, will you marry me?" of course I was hysterical and could only nod. We aren't married yet, we are trying to decide if we should do it while he is in there or wait till he gets out.

I asked first :D We basically had confessions of love that crossed in the mail, but when it actually came down to the marriage part, I asked him :D AND it was before we had photos of each other :D

But months down the road when we finally got to meet face to face, he proposed to me making it official :thumbsup:

mrs

He asked me on V-day on the back of one of the cards he sent me. :)

This is great. I truly love hearing all these stories.

Brennan asked me when I was 3 months pregnant with Weston it was cute though on how he proposal was. I was taking a shower because we were going out to dinner that night and all of sudden I turned around and he was on my knee buck naked and had a ring box I am freaking out while laughing sooo hard also. He goes'Amber Lynn you are now going to be the mother of my child and the only thing else you need to become is my wife...he goes i have so much respect for you and love to offer you I would love for you to be my wife so I can give you thoses things each adn everyday for the rest of our lives :heart: I didnt stop crying at all :)

The very first time I knew marriage was on his mind is when he told me he had a dream that we were walking in the park hand in hand and we were wearing rings. I knew at that very second, but never said much. He made severel other mentions of our future as husband and wife, but never officialy asked me. He even signed his letters a few times "love your husband", but again never asked me. Finally he started talking about someday he wanted to propose, but wanted to wait until he could do it right. He wanted to be able to put a ring on my finger as he was asking me to be his wife. Some time passed and one day I decided that I would go to walmart and get a inexpensive ring. I wore it into visiting on my right hand because I had strong feelings about not wanting it on my left hand until he put it there. One of the first things he did once settled in was count the change and get drink money out of the coin purse so while I was waiting for him I slipped the ring into the purse and as soon as he saw the ring he knew exactly what to do with it. He slipped the ring on my left finger and asked me to be his wife

You are a very clever woman TNC

This is a great thread! We have known each other and been talking off and on for 17 years!...anyway I have been by his side thru everything and finally we got to some serious talking about us in letters. Then on my second trip up there to see him and on Sun. as the last visit was ending he asked me. He was shaking and all nervous and asked if I would be his wife. It sure didn't take me long to say yes. He has been the one true love of my life. And hopefully we will be getting married Aug. 14, 2004!!

You are a very clever woman TNC
The beauty of this method was he was still able to propose. All I did was provide the tools to do so.

Oh, Tanya....how cool is THAT??? :thumbsup:

Okay....well, Shawn has been dropping hints for a while now. Today, I had my first visit with him, and he asked about a ring I had on my third left finger. "Is that a wedding ring?" he asked. "No, it's an amethyst, with my birthstone...and why would I be wearing a wedding ring?" He said, "Well, you will be as soon as you say "yes" to me...."

Totally unexpected...but the answer is definitely "yes"!

Kurt asked me when he first went in, after he was in county a little over a month. He had talked seriously about it in his letters. So I knew it was coming soon, just by the way he was building it up. So one night when he called, we were talking all normal then i can hear him get nervous! I'm like "what's wrong?" he says nothing.....of course and a semi long pause lol. Anyway, he said basically the same thing Roger said to you Shel, he said "Would you do the honor or becoming my wife?" I was nervous too......I said "I'd love to!" It was crazy......that was April 16th of this year. We're not married yet, we're trying to decide if proxy marriage is the way to go for us.

good sories on this thread what is proxy marriage?

Well my sweetie didn't actually ask. In his usual fashion he just told me I was going to marry him. I asked him how are u going to just tell me we are getting married. He says the same way I told u that u were my woman 5 years ago. I almost fell out of my chair last Sunday morning. Now that would of been real funny. Well I had nothing to say cause his reply would of been it dosn't matter we getting married anyway. And he calls me Ms. Bossy, go figure. Now I have to deal with the state of Texas long drawn out paper work quota to make this man my husband. Y'all wish me God's speed.

My honey and I have been dating since I was 15 and my parents were NOT happy. I wasn't aloud to see him or talk to him. I would sneak out and leave with him. So my mom moved me in with my dad in FL. I couldn't even tell him I was leaving he found my address from my brother. I was at a mini- golf course with my cousin and someone came up behind me and covered my eyes and I said who in the world, He said " Its the guy your gonna marry" I started laughing. He drove 1200 miles to see me. I was so glad to see him he stayed in FL for 2 weeks. Finally my mom gave up and let me move back home.When we were 18 we went fishing one night and he stood up in the boat and was digging in his pocket and I thought it would be funny to push him in so I did. Needless to say the ring was lost and he asked me when he got in the boat and I said "yes" then he pushed me in. So we are gonna get married on April 5. 2005. The date that I pushed him in the lake and lost the ring:) oops

my baby francisco actually proposed just this july 3rd , in visiting at ironwood , we were on the patio , and he got down on one knee and ask "will you be my wife" people were looking so before i could say yes i had to yell at him "GET UP PEOPLE ARE STARING" :)
then of course i said yes !

awww..These stories are beautiful!!!! I don't have one of my own (yet.....hopefully soon) but this man is acting kinda different...He knows I HATE it when he says he has to ask me something or tell me something but he's gonna wait till i see him next or till his next letter. Last time he did so he asked me to move in with him (i said yes of course)...I'm kinda nervous....I don't know what it could be......and i honestly don't know if i would want him to do so in the visiting room at Big Muddy-My honey will be home soon (Sept. the latest) and I am more than willing to wait forever, just as long as he never leaves my side again.

Missing Jacob, When Roger proposed to me we were in the Danville visiting room. He's now at Big Muddy.

My husband and I had discussed getting married prior to him going to jail. He at first said he wanted to wait another year before we got married...but I knew otherwise. There was no doubt in my mind that he was the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with, but I agreed, knowing that his mind would soon change, or at least hoping it would!

So when he was arrested in February, he was able to call every day. We talked and talked and talked about our future and where this relationship was going. Then one day in early March he said "I have something very important to ask you" Then he called his cellmate over to the phone to "witness" He said "I love you very much and wanted to know if you would be my wife" Of course I said YES! His cellmate got on the phone and gave his congratulations, telling me how T does nothing but talk about me constantly, that he is definitely in love and wished us luck in our marriage.

So from March to May, we tried to decide on when would we get married, by proxy, in prison or when he came home. He said he didnt want to wait, that we should just do it by proxy and get it over and done with and have a ceremony later on when he comes home. So that is what we did. He had the proxy form notarized, I flew to Texas and had a mini vacation with my sister that lives there, and got married! And I am so happy to now be his wife!

Patrice

Well he was my best friend (still is) one day we was talkin bout some hoodie that I didnt like and he looked at me and said: I'm down with you to the end no matter what your part of me & my life forever You and celena are and always be #1 and whoever don't like that will have to deal with it or get the F!*% on! and then he Says How soon can you become wifey? LMAO I was Like huh? are you serious? and then he goes we both no we feeling it there's no denying it lol we been married a year and 2gether 14 months best friends for 3 yrs

gee i wish i had a great story like you guys. in fact, I refuse to accept that this was even his proposal, I told him I expect a highly romantic one when he get's out and I actually get the ring.
but anyway, he already has a ring from a previous relationship that didn't work out and I'd always been bugging him about what he was going to do with it and when it'd finally make it onto my hand. Well after numerous discussions he called me up from county the night before he signed his deal to tell me what was going on. It was only like a five minute conversation but in the middle of it he just burst out, "So I guess I can give you the ring" to which i responded "you guess?"...and he says "Yeah, isn't this a story to tell the grandkids, your boyfriend in jail calls to say he guesses he'll marry you"

*sigh* so much for romance

well my man assumed we were engaged! One day I said "no we aren't. you never asked me!" then he said "yes i did" and i was like "no you didn't".

I go on my visit last week (thru tv monitor) and he was talking about something to do with the future and I had no idea what in the world he was talking about. I changed the subject. Then he blurted out "will you marry me?" I said yes. we couldn't hug or kiss but we both smiled.
when i got home from the visit i got the ring. he called on the phone and said "baby i love you very much. would you give me the honor of being my wife?" I said "YES" and put the ring on.

He told me on the visit he was nervous as hell and he was glad i could not see him from the shoulders down...he must've been shaking. I asked if he was afraid i was gonna say no and he was like, "no but for the first time i was nervous and i am never nervous!" awwww.

We are engaged for 11 days today.

My Fiance' has been locked up for awhile now and he proposed to me about a month ago. It was so sweet too. I mean he talked about how he wanted me to be his wife and how he wanted to be my husband but he really never asked. he even signed his letter's love your husband. Then about a month ago He wrote me a letter and it said " I'm gonna ask u the right way when I get out but I wanna ask u now, Will you Marry me Baby?, You are my life, my world, my love, my soul, baby you are my everything so will u marry me?" Of course I wrote him back saying Yes, and then we talked on the phone 2 days later and he asked me again and I said Yes before he even finished asking me. We haven't decided if we wanna get married while he's in there or if we wanna wait til he's out. what should I do? Should we wait?

My boyfriend Bryan asked me to marry him while I was at visitation on August 1st of 2004 at Lindsey State Jail in Jacksboro Texas. He was holding our 5 month old daugther when he asked me to marry him.

We had only had a few visits and been writing about 6 months when he asked me to marry him in a letter. He's always been about three jumps ahead of me. I'm older, he has a long sentence, I said No, but I want to date you when you get out. He refers to me as his wife to all his friends. then he told his daughter and mother that I told him NO! geez. I guess I let down my barriers gradually. About a month and a half ago he wrote me this story. I'm in the tub, and he comes in and gets on one knee and asks me to marry him. I wrote back that I said "yes" and I also went out to Mervyn's closing sale and bought myself the first diamond of my life. I like your idea TNC. They don't allow holding hands at stateville, but maybe we can ask permission or just do it. we can't get married there. I sent him a photo of the ring on my hand. I am liking the idea of getting married about 6 months after he gets out. I have had a ton of family interference and just want to get married with a few people who are happy for me.

My man and I talked about getting married in leters and then i bought 2 cheap wedding rings. I wore one and gave the other to him on visit. We were almost approved to get married two years ago and he got transferred. We have applied again here he is now and waiting approval. This past August There was a knock on my door and someone delivered a beautiful diamond ring to me! ( I think he had his brother get it ) So hopefully we will be married soon but in our hearts we are already and have been since the beginning!

My honey and I have been dating since I was 15 and my parents were NOT happy. I wasn't aloud to see him or talk to him. I would sneak out and leave with him. So my mom moved me in with my dad in FL. I couldn't even tell him I was leaving he found my address from my brother.

The date that I pushed him in the lake and lost the ring:) oops



i laughed so hard.. when you pushed him in the lake!!!! LOL :thumbsup: that is something i would so do!

Missin_you_2: That was extremely funny and A great memory for you two. That sounds like something Rod and I would do and my luck the ring would be lost too....lol

TNC: That was a great idea! I have a ? though, Can you get in trouble during visitation for doing this? If not I hope you don't mind but i'm going to borrow that idea!

Rodney has asked me to marry him several times. I kept turning him down! Not because I didn't want to but because I know what a wonderful artist he is and knew he could be more creative. The last time I told him no we were in a check out line at a grocery store and he pops off. "So when you gonna marry me girl?" Then he looks at the cashier and says " Don't you think she should marry me?" The check out lady just smiles and says Does she want too? ......lol I told him he had to come up with a better way than that! Then he asked me on the phone and in a moment of weakness on my part I said YES!!!!!!! Now I wish I wouldn't have let him off the HOOK! He used to tease me about asking me with his favorite hobby, FISHING, He said he was going to catch all these fish and lay them on the beach in the formation of "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" I told him I didn't know if I could say yes during a rolling on the floor laughing fit!

He asked me yesterday and it was beautiful. He basically said that he would not let me get away again and that he was ready to trade in all the foolishness and then he said 'Will you marry me?''. I cried and even now I feel like crying. I have loved this man since I was 15 years old and there is no way I'm letting him go.

Gene asked me by sending me a newpaper article about the army ranger doctor whos been declaring his innoceance since convicted in the 60s or 70 s ...he got married in prison and his wife is fighting for his release and it was a great article ...in it she said this line about getting married to an inmate " I cant look at him and say ill marry u when u get out and things are perfect " .....she said ..." if you love someone ...you love them when its at its lowest point and thank god for the highest points ...but yet you remain there wife through it all " We hadnt mentioned marriage before then even though I knew I wanted to marry him ....I didnt know how to respond to it and wasnt sure if he had just sent me intresting reading or a hint lol ...so at the end of a call he says to me ...THAT WAS A HINT ...and I wrote him and said id marry him in a heartbeat if hed ever ask ....In the next call he said ...I am not going to ask you until your are face to face with me ..but you can go ahead and start ring shopping ...gave me a description of the rings he had in mind and asked me to have the jeweler give me a picture of them so he could decide and send the money lol ...but yet lol he hasnt OFFICIALLY asked me yet lol ....

it sent it twice lol

:dance: :dance: :beer: :beer: :love: :love: :clap: :clap: :grouphug: :grouphug: :hifive: :hifive:

Aww, honey. That is just too sweet!! Congratulations to you and may you have everything your hearts desire.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :dance: :dance: :yay: :yay: :rock: :rock:

Well he officially asked me yesterday :D !!!!! But he has been refering to me as his wife for a while now. I told him that I refuse to accept that until he asks me! So last night I went for a wonderful 2 hour visit, sitting across from him just having a normal conversation he looks at me kind of funny than he says Baby will you be my wife? I wanted to CRY!! I looked at him dumb founded I couldn't do anything but smile the biggest smile possilbe I nodded my head I tried not to cry all I really wanted was to give him a big hug and kiss but the prison he is in is picky NO touching during the vist... its so hard its like he is less than 2 feet away from you. :angry: but I finally was able to manage a yes to come out.:cool: After all the excitement he told me that he was sorry that he couldn't get down on one knee and do it the right way or even be able to hold my hand. That made me want to cry even more. I told him that he doesn't matter how its done to me just that it was sincere. He said that he wants to be the only man to make me smile and cry at the same time, that he is going to be the only man to lay in bed with me and hold me til the sunrises. And that he is willing to do anything to make sure I am happy. I did tell him that if MN allowed conjucial visits it would be on :thumbsup: hehehe He told me that when he gets out he is going to do it the right way with a ring and all.

I Actually Asked Him To Marry Me!!! We Were On A Visit One Day And I Was Looking Into His Eyes As He Was Talking To Me And I Was Really Feeling Him Deep In My Heart. Before I Knew It I Had Started Making A Aring Out Of A Napkin, And He Looked And Asked Why Was I Making A Ring, And He Said "are You About To Propose To Me??" I Denied It At First Then Finally I Asked Him If He Would Marry Me In A Year, And He Said Yes. I Kinda Felt That He Took It As A Joke, So About A Month Later I Was Telling Him How I Felt About It And Told Him Id Be Ready To Marry Him When He Was Serious About It. Then He Got On One Knee And Looked Me Dead In My Eyes And Proposed To Me!!! I Wanted To Cry...he Was All Teary Eyed Too. Thats When It Was Really Official. So I Guess We Proposed To Eachother And Ended Up Getting Married 5 Months Later, Which As Of Today We Have Been Married For 2 Weeks!!! :D

jbsgirl,

Wow! Two months and you're getting engaged?! That's awesome, girl! :thumbsup:

Wait a minute...you haven't met him yet? Whoa! :eek: You must have an awful lot of trust! :p I read a couple of your other posts, but it sounds like it's definitely a good thing. It's good too that he's got strong family support, or at least from his mother. That's important. Very important. I know some whose families have all given up on them because of being in and out of the system so many times. Your Gene sounds very different than all that. :love: :love:

So when are you meeting him and when's the big date? :D You will have to let us all know right away! Best wishes too, by the way. ;)

Sorry I didnt get back to yall and update you sooner lol things have just been crazy ! Gene and I met and my knees were weak from being totally terrified as I had never been in a prison before . I saw some guys waving to me from inside the fence but I was to scared to wave back . Sure enough it was him and his friends . Pender is very small and kinda mayberryish lol ...staff was friendly and when I walked into that visitation room ....I saw him ...His face lit up and so did mine . I walked up to him with shaking knees and He kissed me so deep I almost fainted . It wasnt the usual first kiss akwardness ...it was perfect and that took us both by surprise . He then looked down at me ...and I do mean down cause the man is waaaay tall lol and said ..now ...will you marry me ....I managed a yes ....since then I have been back to the prison 4 times ...met his parents ...saw where he grew up ...and this weekend I go spend the night with my soon to be in laws for the weekend and see my man again . This time for a 2 hour visit since my drive is so far . For easter I got a shock . He sent a card and inside was a 200. money order . He said He knows he should be home and taking his girls (me and my daughter) shopping and getting easter dresses but since he cant ...he will be all the man he can be and make it possible for his girls to go shopping . I almost fainted and have no idea how long it took him to save that kind of money . He is now getting the engagement ring that he insists on buying even though I told him I didnt need one . He said its a temporary ring and when he comes home that one goes to my daughter and he will put the kind of rock on my finger I deserve . We are still trying to decide on bands ...this man is so picky lol ....so ...we met ...and a hundred letters and thousand dollar phone calls later ...the Marriage is on . Family somewhat freaking out ...noone will be my maid of honor ...not even my bestfriend because her boyfriend ...my cousin used to be a county jail guard and wont allow "his" woman into a prison ...which is fine ....if not a soul will come with me ...ill do it alone . I know this is the man I have longed for my entire life .

Hhmmm... how did it happen for us exactly..?

Well actually, pretty early on into our relationship Adam told his family (and my best friend!) that he was going to marry me one day. That was sweet 'n all, but I wish that I had been the first to hear about it. :rolleyes:Oh well.
Then sometimes he would joke around with me and say "You can marry me if you want to.. no really, you can" :p
SO, this past New Years Eve we were going up to Reno, NV with all our friends and on the way there, I said to him "You can marry me if you want to.. no really, you can" and he was like:
:eek: :D :yes: :yay:

It was a really sweet and super romantic weekend. We got married at the little chapel in our hotel on New Years Day (2005).
And then when we got home, January 3, he had court - :cuffs: :shake: :broken:

The rest is history
:cry:

Awwww that is very sweet. I love to hear that there are still men around that "wanna make the situation right", ya know?

Actually,,,,,I asked him,,,,,I sent hima lette and asked him "Will you marry me?" in spanish.....he answered me back in English,,,,,YES!!!! we were married 3 months later

He asked on Valentine's Day the year after he went in. There is a tree on the patio that I love to sit under because it makes me forget where I am and for some reason I feel the ultimate peace when we are there. Often times when were sitting there I will lay my head on his shoulder and fall asleep.

On this particular day we were both very quiet and just spent a lot of time looking at each other. It started off as a "how do we feel at this stage of our relationship" conversation and he mentioned that he was sorry he'd never asked me to be his girlfriend in high school. I kinda laughed and he said that he wanted to make it right. I told him that it was a little late since we'd been serious for some time now and he smiled. We talked about all the "old" high school memories and how we were both too young to see that our friendship would grow to be what it is. He said he'd been praying on something for a long time and he wanted to share it with me. He said I was the biggest blessing he'd ever gotten in his life and God had put it on his heart that he would never find anything as strong, loving, beautiful, and perfect as me.

He told me that he wanted to protect, provide, and love me forever and asked if I would bless him further by becoming his wife. Before I said yes he took my hand and we prayed together. We asked God to bless our commitment to him and to each other. When I opened my eyes he said, "You better say yes nigga" and ofcourse I did!!!!

When he gets home we are planning a trip to Egypt so we can get married in front of the pyramids....

jbs it's a shame your girlfriend won't stand up for what SHE wants to do! do you have a PTO friend who goes to the same prison to visit and can stand up for you?

I do know someone but not to well . I think more then likely itll be my daughter and jbs parents who will be there ...which is just fine ...and boy you really see where u stand with people when you make this kind of decision .




jbs it's a shame your girlfriend won't stand up for what SHE wants to do! do you have a PTO friend who goes to the same prison to visit and can stand up for you?

Well my man asked me twice once before he went in, we had broken up and I left state he hurt me real bad anyway I had came back and needed to just see him and I called him and I went to go pick him up. He wanted to take me to this park that I had no idea was there it was a little difficult getting there but we made it. He just kept telling me how beautiful I was and how sorry he was and he called me his red-haired blue- eyed angel and got down on one knee and proposed and I said NO boy do I regret that answer till this day. The only reason I said no was because he hurt me soo bad and I wanted to talk things out and work things out before we took that step, well that no sent him off he says now that he wishes I had said yes and that's why he has been so reluctant to ask again. He said I wouldn't have asked if I knew your answer would have been no. I felt it was out of desperation of the fear of loosing me. That was 8 years ago and we have had a long hard road really we have and May 20th 2005 he asked me again on the phone but he said he was down on one knee I said yes in a heart beat. I love that man with everything I have I have gone through so much and it never stops me from loving him. He said he wants to do the right way when he gets out, we will not be getting married in prison he is dead set against it, the way he says we can't even consumate the marriage and he can't wear a suit and I can't have the wedding dress of my dreams and we can't even have wedding cake lol he is so cute. Then we just found out that he won't be up for parole again for 24 mo. which really sucks but after that he should be out yeah! All I have to wait for is two years nothing comapred to the 8 I allready have and time goes so fast for me it'll be here in no time well that's what I like to tell myself lol!

My baby asked me in a letter at least twice and then again in the visiting room on Valentines Day 2004. We are to be married on November 12, 2005. :)

well me and John had been talking about in for awhile and were going over dates that we liked and then on Valentines Day I got a package and he had drew a precious moments boy holding a long scroll with a message and a poem on it and then at the end it said "So baby I was wondering will you marry me" awww I have that hanging on my wall. Last week was our 1 month anniversary man it went by fast we were talking on the phone and I said "baby what is today he said the 24th" and we both go "OMG we have been married a month" :) ahhh he is the sweetest

My Baby ask me on the visiting floor last summer. Our wedding day is April 16th 2005

My man asked me in the visiting room ( not the way i picture someone asking me to marry them:). He told me he wanted to wait till he could do it the right way. But he knew he wanted to spend the rest of lives togeather. I feel the same way. I love my baby :)

we had known each other for about 16 years and had been writing for 8-9 months and knew that this was it. "the one" the forever love. we were at visit and he was extremely fidigity and i kept asking what was wrong. he swore it was nothing so about 30 minutes before visit was over he said ok, this is what i have had on my mind. he pulled out his wallet and he had a piece of paper from the night before where he had written everything he wanted to say. (he wasnt allowed to get down on one knee) so he just took my hand and started reading it. he was shaking and his voice was quivering. i am still oblivious to the fact he is proposing. until i see at the bottom of the page WILL YOU MARRY ME? i started smiling like never before. and of course said yes. i will get to say yes officially on june 16th when i become mrs. harrelson.!!!

Its so great to hear everyones stories on how there hubbies proposed. I never thought I would be telling my story. Just today my baby Jovani called me at exactly 5:41 PM. He told me that he has thrown his life away and all he wants to do is start fresh and have a wife and children. He told me that a woman like me is hard to find and that he is truly madly deeply in love with me. He then asked me what would I think or say about getting married and being his wife forever. I ofcourse said are u serious and he said yes he was serious. And I said I love you. Ane then he said so we is gonna do this and I was like lets do this! So now he is getting the info together and we are thinking about doing it like 6 months from now. He did ask me almost a week ago about us getting married but I thought he was just playing around. I totally brushed it off but did think about what if he was serious. So now soon I will be Mrs. Acevedo and I could not be happier. He said once he gets out we will have a church wedding. So God willing in 6 months I will be announcing that I am officially married. I also want to say congrats to all you amazing wives who are standing right by your men. May God Bless you all!:)

My baby just asked me yesterday! I don't know how he did it, but he pulled a ring out of his pocket and put it on my finger! He wanted to get down on one knee but he was too nervous! I am sooooooooo happy!

He had my engagement ring sent to me in my b'day card 3 years ago, and then a letter followed with him asking me to be his wife!! :) Of course i said YES, YES, YES!! :D We plan on getting married at the end of this year, if everything goes as planned. If not, we have to postpone it until the beginning of next year.

My husband was in County, facing some time when we first met. I was teasing him about having to marry him to get family visits and he told me " I want to marry you, but not for the family visits". That was only about a month after we met and we were married less than a month later. About 8 weeks time in all. That was almost 4 years ago, and although he beat that charge, he's been doing 26 months on a different one. 5 onths to the gate!!

Well, my honey and I were friends for 3years before we became a couple. And we've been a couple for a year since March 6 , 2004. He got arrested December 16, 2004 for breaking his probabtion. In January the conversation of marriage was occuring all around me. Even he had been talking about it. You could tell he was stalling and just not asking. :idea: Finally January 1, 2005 I just did it for him. He was in Del Valle behind glass. I finally just said :D "John can I have you?? Will you be mine and nobody elses??" he told me "that's the plan!" He now refers to me as his wife to everyone. :thumbsup: It's taken a lot to get him to that point. It really melted my heart is the first time I found out he told his brother about me and what I ment to him. He didn't just refer to me as his "Best Friend."

Oh by the way if someone can tell me how to make these Ticker factory.com counters work that would be great. I'm not doing something right!1

My fiance dropped hints for several weeks on the phone....the cutest hint was one day he called and immediately upon the phone connecting our call - he asked if I liked his name. Of course I said yes, he said do you like my first name? I said yes. He said do you like my last name? I said yes - why? His reply was ...do you want to share it with me? Awwww :) Of course I said you're silly and thought he was just playing around but a couple of weeks later I received a call from him and he asked me to be his wife. We are in the process of getting our paperwork done but running against a deadline...his release date is in September. CDC likes to take their "sweet time" so we may wait until he's released!

which time? he has propose three times, the first time he asked me to find out what we would have to do for me to carry his name. The second time he went thru this going steady, engaged, getting married Will you marry me scenario then the third time he wrote about sprinkling rose petals all over and getting down one knee, a very romantic one. I accepted all three.

I'm afraid ours wasn't as romantic as a lot of these. We'd been together for a couple of years when Coy got locked up this time. He was still married to his 2nd wife even though they hadn't lived together in at least 5 years by then. Neither one of them would ever agree to pay for the divorce so they just stayed married. She left him when he got locked up last time, moved one of his friends in before he even caught chain. And 15 years ago, his first wife took off and left their newborn son and him while he was locked up. So he wasn't very keen on trusting women or being married. he'd always told me that if he ever managed to get divorced, he was NEVER getting married again, that he'd live with me till the day he died but no marriage. Well, a couple of days after he got locked up in county, on the phone, out of the blue, he told me i needed to call his then wife and tell her he wanted a divorce and we'd pay for it and i said, ok, but why? And he said so we can get married. floored me...I told him ok but i'd stand by him whether we were married or not. i didn't want him to marry me and then be sorry afterwards or feel i'd pushed him into it. he told me that he knew that being married wouldn't make me wait for him, he knew that the hard way. but he didn't think he could go for years not able to touch me and just visiting thru glass. So he thought he could get over his marriage phobia. So we started the divorce thing and he had my teenaged daughter pick out my engagement ring for him. then before it was all final, we had a fight and split up. There was a problem with one of the divorce papers but since we weren't speaking i didn't worry about it. And his wife didn't want to pay for anything so she didn't fix it either. Well, a couple of months later we got back together. he told me in a letter that he'd be proud if I'd put my engagement ring back on but he didn't want to get married by proxy and by this time, he'd already caught chain so there was no other option. Then about 2 months later, he found out he had a "hold" on him from our county on another charge. So he wrote me and told me to get the divorce done so we could have a "real" wedding when they brought him back.:)
So we did the divorce and got married in the judges chamber with our family and friends all there. The only bad thing was he couldn't wear real clothes so he's in black and white stripes and I'm wearing a pretty lace dress. LOL. We're going to have the reception and honeymoon when he gets home. And when he went back to TDCJ, we got to have contact visits. So he says i'm stuck with him forever cause he always said he'd never do this again. he's decided its not so bad though, he was just never married to the right woman before.:D

Jose and I have been together since 97 on and off. Last Monday I split the visit with his mom and he asked me to let her see him first. When i went to the booth to see him, i was so telling him how much i missed him, when he told me to look down. There was the engagement ring, he had asked his mom to bring. I was so shocked, i was speechless. I was so happy, but now i have to wait 3 years till we tie the knot. :(

Wow I certainly can't beat any of these post. I am just wondering how all of you do it? That is find Mr. Right and a man that can show love, by simple jesters, or heck surprise rings etc. I lost my guy months ago, the father of my daughter. He says he still loves me and wants no one else however there is a huge trust issue here. The fact that I have no clue if he is telling the truth, and if he really wants us. Hes always saying hes sorry and lets move past everything and start over, but my heart has been broken many times by him. Its hard to forget all the pain. And hes 12 hours away so contact is pretty impossible. Don't get me wrong I love him and hes a great father, but how long do you keep on trying to fix the past? Does he really mean what he says? I congradulate all of you on your happiness. Heather

Awww this is such a happy thread! :D :p

My baby asked me to marry him in the visitation room of the county jail, when he was awaiting trial. We had been talking about it for a few months and he had been telling me how much he wanted to have me as his forever and for me to be his wife, but that I needed to search my soul to see if I could do this forever, because we knew he was probably looking at awhile. :( I knew as soon as he first brought it up that I wanted to marry him, but I did what he asked and made sure I thought about it, and all the possibilities. I told him I was sure that I could and would love to do this and be with him forever. A couple of months went by and he still hadn't officially asked me and I was starting to get impatient :rolleyes: lol. So he tells me now that his original plan was to ask me on Christmas eve 2002, but when I went to visit they gave us a twenty-minute visit (in that jail, it was up to the guards how long they gave you :rolleyes: Not good!) and before he could ask me, they came to get him. I was wondering when I left that day why he was SO upset when they came to get him. So when I came to visit the next week, on December 29, 2002, my baby said "Hey I want to do something..." as he reached for a little slip of paper from his pocket. I looked at him with a curious smile on my face, and he held a "Love Is" comic up to the glass. The comic read "Love Is...telling the world you're engaged" and on it he had written "Will you marry me?". I looked at him with the biggest smile on my face with my eyes tearing up and of course I said YES!!! He then said that he loved me so much and that I was beautiful and he couldn't see anyone else being his wife forever. It was the happiest moment of my life. :) This June we will have been a couple for three years, and this July we will have been married for two years! :)

well it was actually 2 weeks after we met. LOL.. but we went to walmart to go shopping. and then when was leaving we were by our car. he got on his knee and said Will you marry me. He didnt give me a ring or anything that night. I got a engagement ring a few months later. About 1 year later it was a wednesday and we decide to get married that friday. LOL.. so we called everyone imporatnat and said were getting married on friday so come. So I didn really get my wedding ring until that day. It has been 3 years since then and i have gotten 3 wedding rings total not including the engagement ring. which actually means the most since it was the first one he had bought. We were kinda poor back then and each year money gets better so I get upgrades. LOL.. But this ring i got a few months ago cost 499.00 and I think it will be a few more years before I get another one. Im not complaining or anything. Because I really love this one more then the rest. Plus its not about the ring its about the love for each other.

So we met March 1st ish 2001 got married March 22, 2002, had our first and only child March 24th 2004.

wow girly that is such an incredibly sweeeeet story! yay for you guys! :heart: :p ~Aimee

Deon has been bringing marrige up to me for several months off and on and we said when he gets out we'll get married. Well, May 19th he transferred out to Jackson for daignostics, then May 26th his brother died. June 1st was the funeral. His family paid to have him and his baby brother brought to the service.

After the service was over and we were all standing outside in the drizzling rain and we were finally able to get a minute to ourselves, he looked me in my eyes told me life was too short, said he loved me and said he was ready to get married now. I was shocked you know, I said at Jackson, will they let us. He told me yes he had already spoken with the chaplain and I need to go to probate court here in my county and get a marriage app, fill out my portion and mail it back the chaplain.

So, you best believe it when I am off on Thursday I am running to the courthouse to get that app!!!

we loved to play scrabble. he's the only person i've ever played who can beat me, and i loved having a great scrabble partner. We'd get very competitive. He said, "i've got a word for you!" He started on the triple word score in the left corner and i was like "you don't have a word that big" and he started "WILLYOUM" i started crying, he brought out the ring, his hand was shaking.

Hey there well my honey and i thought he would be getting out like in 6 months but they sentences him to 4 years with 85% this 7/21/05 he will have 1 year already, so one day i went to go visit him at the county jail and he aksed "Hey babe can I ask you something" and i said WHAT! i thought he was going to say something else and he said I love you and i want to be with you for the rest of my life at this point my heart want to come out of my body! ans said with tears in his eyes babe will you marry me ans my face dropped i was like what did you say and he said babe will you be by wife! and i told him that I did not know then I said are you serious and was crying and he said dont i look serious so i told him babe give me some time to think please its a big step so i was kind of waiting to see what they said in his trial but they kept on laging on it and couple weeks before they sentences him i went up to visiting and he asked me again and i finaly told him YES he was so happy he jumped out of his seat and told the guys next to him she YES dog ! and looked at me with his big dropey eys and said to me you madt happiest man alive and he went on telling me how he felt about me and we both cried,so know we are just waiting for a wedding date after 7 months!


QUOTE=Roger's Girl]I was just wondering how did he go about proposing to you?

My 3rd anniversary of him asking is right around the corner. We are having problems with Illinois, so right now Roger "proposing" is about as close to an anniversary as I can get.

It was June 26, 2001. We were sitting in the visiting room basically by ourselves and all of sudden the phone started ringing, CO's were coming in and out and he could tell something was going on.. Seems some real rocket scientists were running from the police and heading straight towards the prison thru a cornfield. I just shook my head.

Well, we were sitting there talking and holding hands and all of sudden he started shaking. I mean his arms literally started shaking. I looked at him and said what's wrong with you, he said nothing, I was like yea right ! What's wrong !

Then he said it, he took my hands and said, "Would you give the me the honor and privledge of being my wife" before he could even finish I said YES, looking straight into his eyes.

We had been together for nine months at that time and that was our second day of visiting. It was almost perfect, no one else around, just me and him, he actually kept apologizing, saying I am sorry being in prison is not how I want to do this, It shouldnt have to be this way. But I just squeezed his hand and said, that doesnt matter, all that matters is me and you.

So that is my story. I would like to hear from others. How did your man go about asking you to be his wife and have you been able to get married yet.

Have a great day ![/QUOTE]

These stories are all soooo sweet! Me and my man have talked about marriage, worked out all the details, even set a date and let the familes know, but he still hasn't 'officially' proposed. I made the comment, and he said he wanted to do something memorable and genuine. I joked about him writing me a letter to propose and he said "No way, you're too special for that." :) Awww...made me melt, so I'm still awaiting the big question...hope we don't get all the way to the alter without being proposed!

:dance:I got a letter today!!! He was telling me all about signing up for his college classes how things are going ok. :p

I also got a package.....inside....was a teddy bear with our names on it and a heart shaped pillow oh which he wrote, :heart:"Will you Marry Me, Nicole?":heart: There was also a letter telling me how important I am to him and how he couldnt imagine himself with anyone else. :yay::clap::dance:

:yay:Im so excited,:yay: weve been together off and on for 9 years and engaged before, but had broken up for a bit, now we are back together and I told him to come up with a creative way to ask me this time!!! Hows that for original and creative he asked me in the letter:dance:. :love:

So now Im going to write him back and in one envelope Im gonna put a single sheet of paper with just the word :yes: :yes: yes :yes: :yes: on it!!! The next step will be talking to the Chaplin!!!:clap:

MY BABY CAME TO CHICAGO FOR THREE WEEKS OVER THE CHRISTMAS NEW YEARS HOLIDAY AND ON NEW YEARS EXCATLY AT MIDNIGHT HE TOOK ME BY MY HAND OUTSIDE ON THE BACK PORCH ON THE 3RD FL IN CHICAGO WHILE THE FIREWORKS WERE SHOOTING OFF GOT DOWN ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES SOME SOME BEAUTIFUL THINGS TO ME AND PULLED OUT THE ENGAGEMENT RING REMOVED MY MOMS RING FROM MY FINGER PLACED IT ON MY OTHER HAND AND ASKED ME IF I WOULD DO HIM THE HONORS OF SPENDING THE REST OF MY LIFE LOVING HIM WOW HE HAD ME IN TEARS I JUST LOVE THAT MAN WE ARE GONNA BE MARRIED AUG 23RD IM FLYING INTO DALLAS AND MARRYING THE MAN THAT I LOVE WITH ALL MY HEART!!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL:) :) :) :thumbsup:

We had only been a couple about 2 weeks. We were laying in bed, just finished making love. I'll never forget the words, and he said, "I swear I will never in my life touch another female besides you. Will you make me the happiest man alive and become my wife?" He bought me a ring a week later. He always talked extensively about all he ever wanted in life was a family and how being with me was a dream-come-true. Ah, I love remembering when he was out.

well, mine asked this weekend. I am so happy but he was cute about it. See I'm not one to wear jewelry and he hates that. He's always telling me to get me a new chain but this time he was focus on my hands. He told me to get rings and I told him I wouldn't really wear it so why would I get it? He said, "You wouldn't wear a wedding band?" I said, "I'm not married." He said, "Will you marry me up here?" It was so cute. I guess you had to be there. :p :p :p

hi all,
i was sitting across from chris in a visit, and we were talking about the possibility of the judge giving him 5 years mandatory. he was so nervous and all he kept asking was, "you promise you won't leave me?" "promise you'll love me for always?" and i kept looking him right in the eye promising him. his aunt gave him a plain band with a simple diamond in the middle of it before she died. he's always worn it. so he looked down at his hand...and silently slipped the ring off his finger. i was looking, but i wasn't expecting that at ALL. then he slid it quietly across the table...it made a light sound as it scraped across the wood. he looked me straight in my eyes and said, "i love you. forever." i took the ring, and needless to say, put it on my own finger. my heart was thumping, and as our visit ended, he said, "never take it off. when i get downstate, we're getting married as soon as i can file the application." i just had these watery eyes, and all i could do was nod. so we didn't do the traditional thing...he didn't even have to ask lol. but then again, i suppose nothing is so traditional anymore haha. i'm not even getting another ring. this ring IS my wedding ring because it means so much to him. when he comes home, then we'll pick out rings together. chris used to be very "street" when he was younger, and the ring not only has an odd shape from being bent, but the diamond setting is bent and odd shaped as well. i can only imagine what stories it could tell if it could speak! i haven't taken my ring off once, except when i was in the hospital and my fingers got so swollen it was hurting me. then i took it off my ring finger and slid it on my pinky :thumbsup:

it's been 5 months since my love made the promise to marry me. we have to wait 2 more months for him to be shipped to his permanent state prison, and another month for the application to be filed and approved. i'm hoping to be a christmas wife! :D

My baby asked me before he went in but they way he did it was so cute. He had taken me roller blading which I hadn't done in for ever. We went down to this little park by where we use to live. It was fall time so there were leafs all over the ground so him and I got into a leaf fight (I started but he beat me in the end I have leafs everywhere but thats okay it was fun). We sat down on this bench and took my hands and started telling me how much he loved me and how much I meant to him. He told me that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and gone down on one knee and asked me to marry him. The funny thing is, is that when he started to get close to asking me to marry him all of the people in the park seemed to disappear so it was just him and I. Its a day that I will never forget.

When i first met my man he always said it would take someone really special for him to even think about marriage.. About a month after we were officialy together he had my kids calling me Mrs.Sanchez... They would drive me nuts with that and marriage only came up a few times when it did he would say his friend has a girl that he loves and wants to marry her he dont know if he should or not because he dont know if she would say yes because he wants to marry her while he is in.. I always told him that if she loved him enough she would. Well finally about 3 weeks ago now he comes out and says to me i have something i need to tell you i tried about two months ago but i couldnt tell you, So coming from him i was getting nervous he comes out and says i found that special someone i want to spend the rest of my life with will you marry me? I was in shock i said what he says it again louder and the phone says you have 15 seconds left so i counted down 10 and then said sorry i and then the phone went dead he called me back in a panic and asked again and i told him i would marry him he was so excited.. He got the paper work the same day and everything but we wont get a date until january he has to be there for 6 months first.. Needless to say he is now called lover boy at the same time his friends and family think he is insane.. Because as far as everyone knew Noonie was alergic to marriage so everytime i speak with one of his friends or family they ask me how the hell i did it..

Last June, 2004 , while awaiting his trial/plea, my boy took me to the Van Halen Concert in Buffalo{I wasn't a fan,in fact- this was my first "rock" concert}. He had made up this banner on a sheet, but wouldn't let me see because he said I " wouldn't approve of the language" . Anyway, before Sammy Hagar was about to sing "Right Now" , Chad threw his banner toward the stage and Sammy Hagar caught it, I was actually embarrased like he did not just throw a sheet on that stage!! I was looking at the people's reaction around me, when someone looked at me and yelled "hey, look up there" I looked up and Sammy Hagar is holding this banned that read's "Hey Beautiful, will you marry me?" I turned around and Chad was on his knee with a ring. I kissed him trembling in shock!! Couldn't even speak, Sammy Hagar said "well?" the people yelled, "YES" Sammy said.."she said yes!" We were on the big screen for a few seconds, then Sammy wore the banner around his waist and sang Right Now. It could NOT have been more perfect, like a dream....I am now a fan ofcourse. Chad didn't plan it, he just hoped it would work out, a once in a life time chance he said, and it happened. He has always been a huge fan of Van Halen, and had been to concerts before.
He was sentenced 11/04 and is now in Wyoming Correctional. 2004 was the best year for me in many ways, but also the worst. But moving on... We are getting married this Saturday, 9/10/05!! We dreamed of a July 4rth wedding, but sometimes life's journey takes a detour and you have to go with the turns, so a September Wedding it is. Keep us in your prayers, thanks!

before we began visits, all we had was our mail, in which we would write every day sometimes I would even recieve 2 or 3 letters in a day. So he began bringing up marriage I Noticed in every recent letter, i could tell he was leading up to something and getting closer and closer to asking. so one letter on sept 8, he says he is down on one knee annd proceeds to say marry me and i will be the happiest man in the world! it was so cute how he did it, and of course i said yes!!!! we are getting married in November

i worked at the regional where i met my hubby to be , i worked in the medical part, i was takeing his blood pressure throught the beanhole(lol) and before i started he grabbed my hand and on his knee asked me to be his angel, his wife and life long partner, i cried and yes. and cried the rest of my shift. from that day on, we are married just waiting on the paper work. he didnt have a real ring to give me, but did draw one, taped it in a cirlce and gave it too me that was in july, it is now oct and my birthday is coming up on the 24 th and Rob told me today on our visit that he has a birthday surprise for his wife

I Can't believe it's actually my turn to write here. At our visit this weekend on Saturday me and my man were standing in line at the soda machine and he said "Baby I've been trying to find the courage" and I said "for what" and he put a ring on my finger and said "Baby will you be my wife" and of course I said "yes" and then he kissed me. Then later he said he had had a poem but they wouldn't let him bring it out and he would send it to me in the mail. Then the visiting room was packed and he asked me if i wanted him to get on one knee and i said no, then he said he would go ask to borrow the microphone and i said no. I love him sooooooo much!!!:p :thumbsup:

Actually it was this past Thursday. He said something like when we getting married and I said when you come home and he said but we are getting engaged while I am in here aren't we? I was cracking up I could barely get out of course baby. These men . gotta love em

I call my significant other my "fiancé" though it wasn't official. Well when I arrived home on Tuesday there was a package waiting that UPS had left and I just thought it was legal papers from him, etc... but I was pleasantly surprised to see he had sent me a couple's waterfall music box that plays the "Wedding March" and a hand blown glass castle because he calls me his princess. In my mailbox the next day was a letter from him asking me to marry him. I am waiting for him to call so I can "YES"! So, it's official. Congratulations to everyone who has gotten engaged.

:) All of these storie are beautiful. Now how many of them have a happy ending?

We haven't married yet. What I try to do every day is to live in the moment and embrace what we have now and not think too much about later. I also would like to hear from couples who have been married for a while and how things are going with them.

my man has been locked up since 2002. i called myself moving on with my life. it was a disaster. i got pregnant by another man that ended up being full of Sh*t. while i was pregnant, jeremie (my fiance') and his family continued to love and accept me and my child still. his mother cared for my child up until her dying day as she was her biological granny. jeremie's brothers and father help me out with my child and everything. well....jeremie wrote me saying that it was time to go ahead and make our relationship eternal. i said yes. i went down to the courts and got the marriageproxy papers to send to him, but now i wonder if we could get married at the unit he's at and what all i need to do or bring.

well,it all started with a 5 page letter I wrote him one night,I was just on a roll,finding all the right words,letting him know just how much I loved him.He came out from rec right after he read it,still crying and emotional from my letter,and he asked me to marry him.He said he could never feel this way about anyone else,and he knew he would rather just die than to ever be with someone else.Of course I said yes,so I will keep you posted when the actual event takes place.

Kurt asked me when he first went in, after he was in county a little over a month. He had talked seriously about it in his letters. So I knew it was coming soon, just by the way he was building it up. So one night when he called, we were talking all normal then i can hear him get nervous! I'm like "what's wrong?" he says nothing.....of course and a semi long pause lol. Anyway, he said basically the same thing Roger said to you Shel, he said "Would you do the honor or becoming my wife?" I was nervous too......I said "I'd love to!" It was crazy......that was April 16th of this year. We're not married yet, we're trying to decide if proxy marriage is the way to go for us.

That is so cool he asked you April 16th of this year!!! Love must have been in the air that day b/c April 16th of this year my fiance called me up after leaving my house to tell me that he loved me for the first time. He purposed to me the 29th of September and now we are getting married the 16th of this month!!! I'm so excited!!! It was cute when he purposed. We drove down this little road where there was a R.V. park with a big beautiful pond that had a water fall in the middle of it. He pulled up to the pond, got me out of the truck and got down on one knee. I will never forget that "I'm a scared little boy" look he had on his face and the shaky voice. He was so nerveus, he put the ring on the wrong hand. I was shaking too.

I love this thread.

Actually, my love, Eric, had asked me on March 23 of this year but when I went down to visit him right after this past Thanksgiving Day, IT WAS OUR FIRST CONTACT VISIT EVER, he had secretly gotten permission from the guards on duty......

.......he then got down on one knee in front of everyone there and asked me to marry him...of course I said yes..he picked me way up high and hugged me, turned to everyone in the room and said....
"she said yes!!!"

I will NEVER forget that as long as I live. :cry: (<-happy tears) It was so special and I am crazy nuts about this man. :wave: :yay: :wave:

Heavy Heavy sigh!! :D :D

he mentioned it ina letter telling me that he can see us married and that he want to make me his wife but i thought he was just talking you know because guys say whatever when they are in jail so i thought.

so i brought it up in out visit and i was like whats up with what u wrote...he got that cheesy grin and was like marry me..and i was like what? he was like will u marry me tonya, i love u and i want u to be my wife...i said yes but it wasnt real to me...he proposed thru a glass window for goodness sakes...but over time i realize this man was for real... when we had our first contact visit...he proposed again and i cried. i cant wait till he gets out....

LOL this is hard to answer. . . technically, my man has been asking me for about 5 years; going back to when we were just friends; we would each be having issues with our respective others at the time, and he would say when are we going to take our heads out of our asses and just marry each other?

but last year when we really started to get serious and all others had been out of the picture for a while, he asked me if i was serious ( i had once told him i would marrry him when we were 50 and not a day sooner). i said he was making me re consider; i had also said after my divorce NEVER again. . . so on a visit he looked at me and put his hands on my face and held me really close, looking me dead in the eyes and told me how much he loves me and how badly he wants to marry me, and that hes ready when i am.

i told him then that it could be years. i just didnt see the point of marriage anymore. . . so over this past year its changed for me. . . every so often he asks me if i will please be his wife; about a month ago we were on the phone 3 way with his mom and she asked us how serious it was; he said "I love her so much mom and i want to marry her. . . shes the one holding up the show". we all laughed; the next time i saw him on a visit i told him i will get the piece of paper when he comes home; because to me, marriage is more about it being a committment in your hearts not the paper.

the end result is his mom and i went ring shopping 2 days ago. his christmas present is me and my duaghter showing up for a christmas visit asking him to marry us and us saying our vows to each other now. . . we will have the rings with us :)

he wrote in a letter "when are you going to get your name changed?" I though he meant going back to my maiden name or something.. so when I went to his college graduation, he asked me again... I said "what are you talking about?" He said "I'm talking about changing it to MINE, I want you to be my wife." That was that. We were married 9 weeks later!

It was on dec 20 of this year. His sister and I were coming home from a court date where we got to see him from a distance, but didn't get to talk to him. Anyway, the subject came up of marriage. His sister told me that she had recommended that he marry me at Excalibur's, and he had agreed that it would be a great place, but there was no way that he could ask me to go through being an inmate bride (his words) and wait all that tiime for him. I told her that I had been thinking that once everything dies down and smooths out, and we know just where he is going to be sent and for how long, that I was going to propose to him. The subject was changed, and we moved on in the conversation.

That night, he called from the detention center, and this time he brought up the subject while talking about various visitation rights. He had mentioned married couples getting conjugal rights, but didn't want me to have to go through life with a hiusband in prison. I told him that it was funny he should mention it, and then told him the same thing I had told his sister. He responded with, "I love you!" and then had to hang up so someone else could use the phone. About an hour-1 1/2 hours later, he called me back, and asked, "Where did our last conversation leave off?" I replied, "We were talking about inmate brides."
"Oh. Well, did I propose to you?"
"No, I think I proposed to you."
"Oh. Well, did I say yes?"
"No, but you did say I love you."
"Oh.....YES!!!!!"

The next letter I received from him had it in writing so I can read it over and over. he says he feels like he is in high school again, all giddy. I laughed and cried at the same time.
SO! we are now engaged, and I am looking for info on the rules and regs for an inmate wedding in new Mexico.

He asked me in a park... after we had left the zoo next door.

We spent a couple of hours walking around the zoo and it closed. We weren't ready to go home yet and had been talking about what our lives were like.
We had only been around each other for 6 days... and he had to leave soon. He drove truck for living... long distance.

He started talking about how much he'd thought about me thoughout the years and how he'd looked for me.
How much he missed me and how he still loved me like it was yesterday... not 20+ years ago.
He got down on one knee in the park and asked me "If I'd remarry him?".
I said "Yes, if you come back to stay". He stayed for 7 more days and was supposed to be gone for 3-6 weeks.

He was back in just 6 days and he gave up a 15 year career driving. He had a local job within 2 weeks and we were very happy. Two months after that he was arrested. We were remarried 6 months after he asked in the jail.

Love Poem #232178
Remarry me.
by Valeria
You’re the one who’s held my heart.
From the very start…
I’d never thought we’d be apart.

I remember your touch and your smile.
Who would have known… you’d be gone… in so short a while?

We married so very young.
That our marriage is was over before it’d begun.
And all we had left of our love was our son.

Two new families, two different lives…
Another husband and a different wife.
I never thought I’d see an end to our tears.
Parted from one another for 24 years...

The love I had for you didn’t go away.
I missed you more every single day.
We wanted too be together… we had to find a way,
Just for a stolen hour or couple of days.

So many years went by…
And we lived this lie.
Both of us hurt and wanting too cry.
Sometimes so much, that we wanted too die.

Thinking our love is over and can never be.
We both finally learned… that now… we are free.
Our love’s been rekindled and on bended knee.
You’ve held my hand asking… Will you remarry me?

Notes From The Author:
You may e-mail me (Valeriasue@yahoo.com?Subject=Your Poetry At Lovingyou.com) with any comments about my poetry.
To my first and last Husband... Dan.
I've never stopped loving you.

Daryl was on one of his eight hour passes away from the center, and we were lying in bed when he asked. He climbed on top of me (he was actually kneeling) and he took my hand and said, " I love you, you are my everything, without you there would be no me, will you marry me?". I said yes and he slid a beautiful engagement on my finger. Now, we are getting married in a month.

:cool: I was just wondering how did he go about proposing to you?

My 3rd anniversary of him asking is right around the corner. We are having problems with Illinois, so right now Roger "proposing" is about as close to an anniversary as I can get.

It was June 26, 2001. We were sitting in the visiting room basically by ourselves and all of sudden the phone started ringing, CO's were coming in and out and he could tell something was going on.. Seems some real rocket scientists were running from the police and heading straight towards the prison thru a cornfield. I just shook my head.

Well, we were sitting there talking and holding hands and all of sudden he started shaking. I mean his arms literally started shaking. I looked at him and said what's wrong with you, he said nothing, I was like yea right ! What's wrong !

Then he said it, he took my hands and said, "Would you give the me the honor and privledge of being my wife" before he could even finish I said YES, looking straight into his eyes.

We had been together for nine months at that time and that was our second day of visiting. It was almost perfect, no one else around, just me and him, he actually kept apologizing, saying I am sorry being in prison is not how I want to do this, It shouldnt have to be this way. But I just squeezed his hand and said, that doesnt matter, all that matters is me and you.

So that is my story. I would like to hear from others. How did your man go about asking you to be his wife and have you been able to get married yet.

Have a great day !

;) I believe Marriage is a beautiful thing, i done it _ Married him 4 years ago behind the walls in Bradford Pa FCI, do you want to know how it is, well its like throwing dice, I won't ever stop Loving Him Ever, but the system got my husband this is the bottom line, At night i/m alone & so is he & our child only knows him there, i knew him since i was 20, I could not imagine being with another Man, but i do wish i waited till he came home, i done it because i Loved him & wanted him to know i had his back & that i was there for him, but the truth of the matter is what we have is beautiful, but the truth comes when he is home, if he stands up & stays by my side, don't fall back into the system / i Love him its human nature, to love some one you care about, i wish you the best of luck, mines is human too- some times jealous & others sincere/ I was just wondering how did he go about proposing to you?

I've never stopped loving you.

I went to go see him in jail after my vacation. He was so afraid that he was going to lose me. The last thing he asked me that visit was "If I go to prison will you wait for me to get out?" I didn't even hesitate to say yes. Then I walked out of this visiting room without even saying good-bye. I left him to ponder on that. The next day he wrote me a letter. In the letter he said "If you are serious about staying with me through this whole thing then I swear to everything pure and sacred that I will marry you. We are now getting married on May 10th!!!!

well mine was not as romantic as all of yall's but Cody and me were best friends for about 3 years but we had never actually been "together" but he knew I was in love with him and I knew he loved me but he wouldn't show it he was locked up for almost a year and one day we were on the phone and it said you have one minute left and he says "Do you wanna marry me?" I said call me right back when the phone cuts off Well when he called back I told him he was crazy because we had never dated and he had always told me he never wanted to get married but I eventually told him yes and now were just waitin for the warden to aprove our request to be married. So I'm still in shock about this whole thing but I'm happy!!!

He asked me through the little window (the ones when you go to visitation) and his sister put the ring on me it was so sweet! I love him!

..great stories .. i still have hope that one day my man will ask me .. been writing for awhile now, but i dont think im the only one he writes to, maybe one day he will realize im the one who wait for him ..

I've only known my man for about 8 months. I haven't visited him yet, because I'm in Missouri & he's in Virginia. But, I'm going to visit him in July.
He's asked me to marry him in his letters. Now he says think about it & I'll ask you when I look in your eyes. He gets out in 2008.

That is so sweet. Aaron and I have been together a little over 10 months and we have been engaged for 3 weeks. We talked about it alot then I brought it to his attention that he never has offically asked and he says "well, we are gonna get married and if you don't want to then hang up the phone" I just laughed and he said "well you didn't hang up so i guess we are getting married" Thats my Aaron, straight foward and straight to the point. That one of the million reasons I love him.

Patrick and I have been engaged for almost 6 years. I asked him, of course -- he has always said he would never have asked me to go through the heartache and loneliness of being with an inmate...and he didn't want to get hurt if I said no. It was funny because we were both really shy and when he'd call we were like two teenagers, giggling about everything. One day at the end of our call I said..."I think I'm falling in love with you" and there was this totally shocked silence then of course Mr. "You have 15 seconds left in this call" comes in and Paddy doesn't get to respond except for a "wow...seriously...?" When he wrote to me he was all excited, really goofy and totally lovey-dovey and our next call (2 weeks and 4 letters later!!) I said "well, since I love you and you love me...why don't we get married?" Totally floored the guy. He kept babbling on asking me if I was certain it was what I wanted and asking if I REALLY thought I could handle it. After A LOT of reassurance that I wasn't going to say "Just Kidding" he was like "YES!!" He scrimped and saved for a year then bought me a Claddagh wedding band -- I still don't know how he managed to afford it. A lot of stuff has happened since then, but now we are trying to plan our wedding -- hoping for Spring of '07!!!

It was short and simple....november 13th 2005....in the visiting room, he got nervous a little before 12:30pm......he expressed how he felt....he pushed the chair aside....got down on one knee.....asked me if I would marry him....as he put my ring on....and I said yes!!! Our wedding date is set for june 24th 2006!!!

Black, my bae, had asked me before on many occasions. One time, i actually attempted to go through with it, and left him hanging. I didnt want to feel as if he was marrying me because he had so much time. But, i left him for some years because of my lack of confidence about his intentions. However, he never stopped writing me, or professing his love for me. I never stopped loving him, and decided to go see him for his birthday after years. He just stared at me the whole time, and said "you should know that i love you, i have lived in darkness without you, i cant breathe, you are my light." I have did all of this time alone, but you are the only one who heals me, please baby, marry me. I said, "Yes". He said, "you arent going to stand me up this time, are you?". I assured him i wouldnt. We are going to do it this time, for real. I cant see myself married to anyone but him; we will grow old together. Now, i am more confident in his intentions, and love for me. Although, he is close to coming home, and still wants to get married, i know this marriage is only a seal for the love that we have for one another.

He have been writing letter talking about getting married and when we talk on the phone and one day he sends a picture of himself and on the back of the picture it says your very dear to me and I love you and would love to make you my wife. Will you marry me and become the lady of my life. love you G. I thought how sweet, he already have 15 1/2 year old daughter together and we have been talking about getting married when we were teenager but he got locked up at 19yrs old and we have been together since we were 12yrs old. So when her comes home we will do it.

As for us... it happened after 13 years of love & friendship. It was on December 4th 2005... It was the first visit when he met my son in person, (they had already been writing to eachother). He said he wanted to talk to my son alone, so they had their lil "Man to Man" talk, I watched them across the room..they would talk, then look at me, talk and again smile and look my way. Well into our visit, my son had gone to play with the other children visiting, Chris had his arm around me, I felt him begin to sweat...I could actually feel the sweat from his palms through my clothes! he then said to me, "Honey, I've thought of the perfect words...and I can't find any that are good enough...but I just can't wait another day to ask you to be my wife." I was speechless. I did expect it...but not that day! All I could do, was turn to him and give him a big, long kiss...he then said "I take that as a yes?" still smiling, I said "Yes." When my (our) son came back to the table, Chris said to him "I asked her" our son smiled at us, and handed Chris a lil ring he was wearing..it was a ring I had bought our boy with hearts and stars. Chris slipped it on my finger.... When we were driving out of the prison I asked our boy, "What was Chris telling you?" he said "That he wants to marry you. He asked me if it was okay, and I said yes. He said he was going to take care of me, Massimo (our youngest) and you. That he loves us, and will take care of us forever." Everytime I remember this, I get all teary eyed...just like I am now. We are currently waiting to hear on a date for our marriage....:)

Well my baby asked me a couple of times but I never took him serious plus I was in a relationship at the time but he didn't care he loved me but I was with someone else and I didnt no what to do well finally I broke up with my ex cause I finally realized after 3 year I was in love with my baby so he asked me again and I said yes and that I was ready cause I loved him like crazy and I just dont see myself with anyone else his my world and I can't wait till we get Married

I just thought I would take a minute to update everyone ...I posted here awhile back like oh after mothers day last year about my fiance asking me to marry him ...yadda yadda ...well I am happy to report as of May 26th , 2006 ...I became his wife ...It was an AWESOME ceremony and I have no regrets once so ever . Follow your heart ....it matters not that it may be inside a prison ...youll escape in your mans eyes . Take care everyone !

Well me and my fiancee just got engaged!! he asked me in march of this year. We plan on gettin married when he gets out next year!! We are both really excited about this!! We haven't told our family members yet about this. It's a surprise for when he is released. But I am very happy and I just hope that everything that God has planned for us works out!!

Well an "official" proposal has yet to happen. It's been me to bring up the issue of getting married, he says if I stay with him at least a year, he'll marry me in a heartbeat. Whatcha' wanna bet it won't take no year? He's already refering to me as his future wife, so ha! and I know he wants to do it where he can get on one knee and properly ask but it wouldn't matter how he asked, the answer would be the same, YES, YES, YES! I can't wait to be Mrs. Stigall.

oh i just read your update jbsgirl, congrats! I'm so happy for you to have finally got your day.

Well see i told ya'll it wouldn't take a year. He proposed on Sunday June 25th, 2006. 1 month and 6 days after our first visit. TEE HEE HEE! I'm so freakin happy. We were sitting there at visit and he says well now that you have an egagement ring on your hand I guess I need to ask you to marry me, and went on to add "in my own time, in my own way, with minimal input from you" so I thought he was just toying with me, so I didn't answer, he says well, will you marry me? Of Course, I said YES!

we had known each other for over 26 years and we both had feelings for each other but never realized it till 10 years later. he was married to my ex bestfriend and she is actually responsible for getting us together because she is the one that saw the ad in the swapper that he put. sunday july 16th 2006 was our first visit and first time seeing each other in 10 years. i had no idea what he had planned. he had asked me in letters and of course i said yes and i told him all i ask is that he ask me again when he saw me face to face. well we knew we were going for a visit and he kept telling me to figure the ring thing out which i had no clue. then we had our pictures made with his mom and brother and then the next thing i know we are getting ready of one of me and him and he takes my hand and takes the ring i have on off and goes down on one knee and he asked me if i would marry him and i said yes. so that the picture i have is of him proposing to me that will be my fav picture forever.

Today (7-21-06) I officially got engaged. :D It happened in the visiting room at Cotton Correctional Facility. I had only been there about 5 minutes, we were sitting next to each other and he starting singing to me (like he always does). But this song was different. The lyrics were saying that I make him complete, I'm the love of his life, he wants me to take his name and be his wife. (I was sitting like- did he just say be his wife?) :blush: Next he took my diamond ring off of my right hand, got down on one knee, looked me in the eyes and said "Baby, I love you so much. Will you marry me?" I was so shocked. All I could say was "YES, YES, YES!" :yes: Everyone was smiling and congratulating us. :D When he got up he took both of my hands and said "July 21: This is the beginning of our engagement, the beginning of our new life, the beginning of US". I was like -Aww. The next thing he said was "As soon as I come home you'll be getting the real ring. This one is temporary." I am so excited. :thumbsup: Everyone wish me luck! Mrs. Seduction

i was on my way to school and he called me on my cell phone telling me how much he loves me and what do i think about him calling me wifey ( he calls me that on letters).i told him it was cute and that i should call him hubby. he told me he is serious of not ever letting me go and so i said what do u think of a girl proposing to a guy. hes like thats no problem but he rather think its the guy to do it. then he is like why do u want to get engaged. i told him i love him so much that i wanted to propose to you. next he replied " no baby not like this but do u want me to be my wife" i said yes, still not wondering what he meant not like this. thats is when he said when you come here bring my mom and i want to do this the perfect way in front of her.

( IGUESS THE BED WILL BE OUR BEST FRIEND). :D

Well he wrote me a letter in March 2006 a month before his birthday and was like you know baby we have been doing this for 12 years. We met in gym class in 94 and we have been together ever since andwhen he got locked up it was hard because he tried to push me away and a few times i just had to let him know how he was going to feel if i did go out the picture so i stopped writing for a month and you should have seen the hate mail i got for that. anyway. I just let him know i was always going to be here. Back to the present he wrote me this letter and was like you know 12 years is a long time and I know you love me and you know i love you so I was thinking of getting a wedding band because in here it means something and it would mean a lot to me. So i took the letter and i thought about it and i prayed about it for 3 weeks then i went to the jewlery store and bought a gold band and had it engraved with the words "TRUE LOVE" I got him a few birthday cards and i put everything in a box and sent it off. he got it on his Birthday and two days later i got a letter from him asking me to be his wife. That was one of the happiest days of my life. I have the letter in a picture frame. Since he is in Maximum Security we don't get to touch so it is hard when all i want to do is put my arms around him. Oh well we will have our day. We had one miricle when he was taken off of death row so i know god has many more for us. We are waiting to see if he gets moved and if not we will marry where he is May 2007.

my man asked me while we were on vist one day.after he sign in he came over to the table were i was waiting for him and got down on one knee and ask me if i would marry him and i said yes of course. because we are each other soul mates

Jeffery wrote me one day and said i'm trying to get da courage 2 say four words. These four words use to scare me but now I couldn't be more ready.. So then when I went to see him at visitation one day his mom had walked off from the table an he looked at me an just said "Will you marry me" I wuz so shocked cuz I didin't expect it then... I was so happy...

I asked him over a letter first. He had been in prison only about 1 month. About 3 months later he still couldn't get any visits. He planned the whole thing with him mom and sister for about 3-4 weeks. I live with my fiance's sister. His sister had a mail package in her hand and told me he had send it to me.

I was confused...he sent me what? i knew he couldn't send me anything like that. I kept asking her, what is it? She'd just say, you'll see. Now that i remember she had her camera in hand, she took a few pictures throughout. I opened the package, there was a gift inside...i unwrapped it, there was a big jewelry box...i figured it could be a bracelet or necklace. I opened that box and found a smaller one. That's when i knew what it was.

A beautiful engagement ring. His late grandmother's engagement ring. Makes me feel really special. In the package there was also an envelope with two letters. One from his mother. One from him. He wrote me a very sweet letter and proposed "will you accept this ring".

We are not married yet. I have visited him only 4 times and he still hasn't been transfered from reception.

Well he had asked me like 5 years ago. Alot had happened he was tranferred from VA. to Fl. I found out that he had been lying to me about his actual time. I wasn't at his sentencing my mother in NC was ill and I had to go home to take care of her and my little sister. Put we never broke up I just told him that I didn't think that I could marry him and have to wait that long for him to come home, 65 years. So he gave me permission to go out and be with others, but we still remained close, no matter who I was with I told them about him and that if he came home today or tomorrow I was going to still be with him, we have a daughter together and I've had two more daughters on him. He became my best friend when I was going through what ever with who ever he was there via phone, letter, visit. He wrote me like 2 weeks ago and asked me, he is currently in the hole and they took his visits, phone and commissary for a year. I think that after all of this if he still loves me enough to still want me to be his wife I'll be a fool not to. He said he allowed me to be with others to prove that I could not replace him no matter what and you know what he was right. I feel as if I searched the world, I was with both men and women and still none of them could make and keep me as happy as he do even though I know that there is a possible chance that he might not make it home. For LOVE that is truely a chance that I am willing to take.

I have known my man almost 20 years and we have a son together but were apart for 3 years we recently started dating again and had been talking serious but not that serious. Anyway he got arrested I was on the phone with him at the time, but when he tried to call later there was a block, I thought I had fixed the block but I hadn't he was so freaked he couldn't get a hold of me he had his mom call and propose to me! Then when I finally fixed the block he asked again and then again in person when I went to visit him in county. Now he is in san quentin and although the other charge has been dropped he's in on parole violation. So he could be out any time I think. He wants to get married in feburary!

I actually asked him on Sept 4th 2006...he thought i was kidding...we talked about it some more and decided to do it. our wedding date was planned for 1-24-07. He was taken into custody 9-13-06. We are now in the process of being approved for a prison wedding....Hopefully all will work out for the best.

I Miss my husband to be.

he asked me saturday november 4, 2006. it was at a visit and his step mom and his dad were there. in the past he would play with my ring finger, which he later would admitt he was trying to figure out my ring size.

well sitting there and it was almost time for early release when his dad would be leaving, and he grabbed my left hand a couple times, moved his chair out, got down on one knee in the visiting room, and said "amanda, i was supposed to do this a couple hours ago, but i love you, will you marry me?" the whole time i was looking the other way saying "oh my gosh oh my gosh." then i of course said yes!!

my nate asked me about a month after he got locked up and he sent me a four page letter with one word on the back of each page like a puzzle that when i put it together it asked Will You Marry Me it was so creative and adorable of course i said yes :heart:

Well frist off me and Chris has been together since "94" yes almost 13 yrs he asked me the frist time in 2000 we recived are diploma see his last name starts with c and my h so he got his first and when i was walking down the stairs he stop me in front of are class and asked me to be his wife. So in one of his letters he asked me if i remeber graduation and i told him yea so he drew up the whole thing again and asked me to be his wife and this time ASAP no more waiting. :)

There is so much POWER behind prayer!
