Do you change your “how we met” or proposal story?

Cliodhna, on November 11, 2019 at 09:05 Posted in WeddingWire 0 21

Do you take some creative liberties when telling folks about how you and your fiancé(e) met, or how the proposal went down? Perhaps you’ve embellished a little here and there, or left out a few risque details 😉

Do you change your “how we met” or proposal story?

    I had a strong feeling he was going to propose that night because he had asked my coworkers to bring me to get my nails done during lunch. When I said no over and over they implied that I should because they think he's going to and then i freaked out. I told him along with my friends and family that I had no clue because i didn't want to ruin it for him Smiley sad

    Yes 100%. My proposal was very lowkey so I’m pretty honest about that. It was a very tradition proposal with his family coming to ask my family for my hand etc. But we met on Tinder, so only our close friends know that. Everyone else thinks we met through a mutual friend at university 😂

    No. I just try to avoid the proposal question since it was not exciting.

    Nope. Both were sweet enough to keep all the details, nothing embarrassing

    We have a pretty cute how we met story so I've never changed that. But our original "proposal" was pretty unromantic - just a discussion and decision on the coach they we should get married and then being like "okay, I guess it's decided" lol. The actual proposal came about a month later and he had our puppy bring over the ring which was very cute so that's the story I tell when people ask how he proposed. Though my immediate family and close friends know the first story since we had to start planning the wedding immediately after the first proposal due to it only being a few months away lol.

    No?? Why would you ever change your story??? That makes no sense to me. Be happy with where you are now and you won't care where you started out man.

    Yes haha, my FH doesn't remember the first time we actually met so I just let him tell the one he remembers (which is about the third time we were introduced).

    And I always tell people I was surprised by the proposal, even though I knew exactly when it was going to happen because he accidentally hinted at it when he was drunk lol

    Nope! I'll admit the proposal is a bit of a blur, but I've told what I remember.

    We don’t change anything. Once you get married many people stop asking how you met (we have also been together for 6 years so we haven’t been asked for awhile) the engagement story has always been the same!

    We don't change the 'how we met' story at all - it's pretty straightforward, having just met through my work a long time ago. But we omit a smaller, slightly risque detail from the proposal story lol.

    I don't. There's nothing to really change about either story. Our how we met story has a bit of a backstory to it, so I might cut to the chase if I don't have a lot of time to really get into it.

    The story of meeting each other doesn't change as its the same throughout everyone who knows. I may be corrected at times though they feel it may be different from the original version.

    No, we don't. We say we met online. Except if people ask what site we met on. Then the answer becomes "oh we don't remember"

    No, I don't change it - we actually find it hilarious now (the proposal story) and we met on Bumble, I don't think that's a big deal anymore - internet dating isn't an anomaly I don't think.

    No, I don't. There's no shame over the fact that we met online. I don't change our proposal story at all, just tell it as it happened. It happened at home, it was our second anniversary, it was crazy cold and snowy ( and it was April) and I was in my pyjamas Smiley heart
