Disappointing proposal? Gather here

So, we’ve been married for over a year now, but I still can’t shake this feeling about the proposal. I’d always said I wanted something private but special. Instead, it was just a quick question at home—no decor, no planning, and I even had to find us a restaurant to celebrate afterward. I’d say I’ve 70% forgiven him, but I still think, why did you flop so badly?

To give him some credit, he was extremely nervous and said he asked on a whim because he felt like doing it there and then. I understand whims, but I would have preferred for it to be planned.

Anyone else had a similar experience? How did you move past it?

Suprised you could bring yourself to say" yes" if it was such a flop🙄
Hopefully he won't be as disappointing when the divorce papers are signed

This 😆

My DH got emotional, wanted to ask, didn't see a chair behind him and instead of going on to one knee, tripped and landed in my lap.

We laughed so hard.
