Background: we've discussed marriage and all that. Dp had a proposal planned but we've been struggling a bit with adapting to life as parents so I said for him not to ask.

Cue today. Ds isn't well, he's been feeding on and off all day and hasn't slept at all. Dp came home early from work to take over and managed to get him to take some expressed milk and fall asleep, yay Smile

I got a bath while Dp was settling Ds and when I got out he said he'd go get us a McD's, so we could eat and rest before Ds woke again. Not really sure what came over me but I burst into tears and in the midst of comforting me he said "god I love you so fucking much, please marry me". Stood in the kitchen, me with wet hair and wearing one of his t-shirts and not in a cute rom com way, I look a mess.
I mean it's romance novel stuff right? (If I say yes).

Did he go and get the McDonald’s? If he did say yes if not say no Grin

IvanaPee · 18/02/2019 21:09

Awww I think that’s lovely!! It’s real. And if you looked that shit at least you know he’s not shallow 😂😂

CrackersDontMatter · 18/02/2019 21:09

I think that's a lovely proposal ❤️.

IvanaPee · 18/02/2019 21:09

Course this depends in whether he actually got the McDs or not, and if there was a McFlurry involved!

WoogleCone · 18/02/2019 21:10

Aww I love that haha, he was all overcome with the feels that he couldn't hold it in anymore!
Please tell me you said yes?! Flowers

Tiredmum100 · 18/02/2019 21:10

Say YES! And then eat 🍔🍟

GirlOnIt · 18/02/2019 21:13

He actually said he'd go get me food before I decide. Because he knows I can't think straight when I'm hungry. Yes to McFlurry. And yes to him. Although not for a good year or so.

Ds is awake now and he's gone to try settle him back to sleep.

Aww that's so sweet. Congratulations!

ThanosSavedMe · 18/02/2019 21:18

I think it’s a fab proposal. Congratulations

PeanuttyButter · 18/02/2019 21:18

Congratulations! Perfect proposal in my mind . Mine proposed to me 30 seconds after I shouted (and swore) at him for making me do something I didn't want to do Grin

WineAndTiramisu · 18/02/2019 21:19

Perfect proposal! Wine

Hanab · 18/02/2019 21:20

Heartfelt proposal, an honest 1 .. yes not particularly romantic but he loves you at your ( lack of a better term ) worst 🤷🏻‍♀️ He sees what you are going through and it possibly made him realise what a gem you are and he could not help himself! Congrats! You have a gem of a Fiancé 🌷

ILoveMaxiBondi · 18/02/2019 21:20

What do you mean “before I decide”? Confused surely you both plan to get married so he knows you will say yes?

MiniMum97 · 18/02/2019 21:21

Congratulations! What a perfect proposal! 😊

BroomstickOfLove · 18/02/2019 21:22

That's pretty much as good as a proposal gets, in my opinion. Heartfelt, emotional, loving, and at a time when the relationship shit has got real. AND combined with emergency food. He sounds like a keeper.

Isadora2007 · 18/02/2019 21:23

I hope you spelt out yes with your 🍟

Knittedfairies · 18/02/2019 21:23

Sounds perfect to me!

CaseofEllen · 18/02/2019 21:26

I think it's the best type of proposal! Congratulations on the McDonald's, the wine and the wedding xx

AnneLovesGilbert · 18/02/2019 21:27

Congratulations to you both Smile

I think that’s lovely.

I don’t consider it a proposal because we’d talked about it a lot but we knew we wanted to get married, buy a house and have a baby though not in what order. We went to see someone about a mortgage, all went well, then stopped in a curry house to pick up a takeaway and while I was eating a handful of Bombay mix DH beamed at me and said “so can we get married?” Grin

It’s the thought that counts.

Catren · 18/02/2019 21:29

That's the most romantic type there is! No pretention or big production, just that he loves you and wants to marry you. And bring you food. That's the important part.

Congratulations!

funnylittlefloozie · 18/02/2019 21:29

I think thats a bloody lovely proposal! Congratulations!

TDMN · 18/02/2019 21:30

This is actually really lovely! You have made my day with this OP, agree with everything @BroomstickofLive said!
Congratulations and enjoy your Mcflurry Wine
