Well my fiance decided to do it on his birthday so I wouldn't suspect. We went to the restaurant he was a chef at and had a fantastic dinner. The whole time though, i noticed some of the other chefs and wait staff kept staring at us with huge grins. I was getting kind of annoyed as to why his co workers were staring so much! How rude!
Another thing.....during our dinner he kept txting someone. I got annoyed and asked who he was txting. He said he was txting my father (he usually does so it wasn't anything out of the ordinary). I still got annoyed and told him to stop txting my PARENTS while we're having a romantic dinner!
Finally after dinner we headed home. He seemed alittle strange so i asked him "are you anxious?" he says "NOOO......WHY?" I said " i don't know.....i feel tension from you..." He ignored me. The car ride home was pretty quiet after that. When we got home and walked in the house, both of our immediate families were there with big cool-aid smiles just staring at me with cameras in hand. I'm thinking "wtf?.....is this a suprise for his bday? why wasn't i told about it??" I went to turn around and ask him what was going on and he was already down on one knee with the same huge grin everyone else had. He gave me his little speech and asked me to marry him lol. I was crying so much all I could do was nod and say "mm hmmmm!" lmao. I felt like an idiot. He put the ring on me but i didnt actually get a good look at it for about 10 mins after all the hugs and congrats and toasts. When i finally got a look at the ring I was blown away!!
Oh yea.... it turns out his coworkers thought he was going to do it at the restaurant so they were standing by to see it happen. At one point during dinner he went back to the kitchen to go "check on somethings". He confessed later that he went back to see why everyone kept staring. They told him they were waiting for him to do it. He informed that it was his plan to do it here! He was just getting me out of the house so the family could get together. All his coworkers had a fit lmao.
ETA: at the end of the night i felt bad but i had to ask him to repeat his speech because I was so overwhelmed at that moment i barely was able to here what he had been saying. lol! Has this happened to anyone else?

One night after hanging out at a party, DH and I went back to my place and as we were getting ready for bed he said "Look, I need a key" and I said "uh, well I need a ring!" The next day he came back with a ring, we'll celebrate 4 years in Vegas, April 21st!

Funny things is we always knew we'd get married. after the first year together we were already talking wedding stuff. I knew he'd eventually do it because he asked me what type of rings i liked. Waiting to finally get a ring on the finger was painful!! It was a looong time after we talked ring details that i actually got a ring. (1.5 yrs later actually). So i put it to the back burner and reallly was caught off guard when he proposed!

Well, he proposed during the 4th year of our relationship. We were in a LD relationship until I moved to his state where I found a job. We had been talking about getting engaged for a year and he had told me that 2009 would not go by without me becoming his fiancee. I said I would believe it only after the ring was actually on my finger. 
Three months after I moved, there was still no ring and I was starting to get skeptical about the whole thing.
I didn't say much but was ready for the worst, i.e. nothing happening anytime soon. 
Turns out he had the ring in his possession months before I moved closer to him. :reddancer:
The whole thing happened on Thanksgiving day, my favorite holiday of the year.
We went to his family's house where everybody came and they were all staring at me. I asked him if something was wrong with me but he said that I looked fine...the staring just continued. 
Finally time for the prayer came and this time (which is unusual) he offered to do it. He started it like a "normal" prayer, then turned to me and said "we are welcoming a new member into the family". Believe it or not, I still did not know what was awaiting me.
I thought he said that because I had just moved and he was talking about me being part of the family as a welcoming gesture...still no clue. :scratchch
I didn't know what was going on until he reached into his jacket's pocket.
I just broke down into tears and didn't even hear him say the words "will you marry me?". 
I was bawling nonstop for five minutes and everybody kept asking me if I was ok. DarkAngell You were not the only one crying like a hot mess. 
Needless to say that I didn't look precious... Those were the best tears of joys I have ever cried in my whole life.
It still brings tears to my eyes as I am typing this.

I'm in this same boat right now, omg. I can't contain myself.
We got into an argument over the weekend, and I guess he got scared I was gonna leave or something
(I don't know why; it wasn't that serious lol), so he told me that I can't go anywhere cause he already bought a ring for me and that he was going to surprise me with it next weekend (the weekend of April 8) since we were going to be attending a wedding together. I made him take a pic of it with his phone right then and there and send it to me, and I am so in love with it. It's exactly what I wanted. I can't wait till next weekend when he officially proposes.

OH MAN...i have to add a potential horror story!!
One night FH's car got broken into! The window was bashed in and his GPS was stolen. When i ran back in to tell him his car was broken into he freaked out and almost had tears in his eyes and immediately started rummaging through his car in a panic! I thought he was just trying to see what else might have been stolen. It turns out the only place he felt I wouldn't find the ring was IN HIS CAR!! So little did i know (or the thief know) That there was a diamond ring worth thousands sitting in that car!! SCARRRRRRYYY

Update: He did it! We arrived at the hotel yesterday afternoon. I never asked him about the ring or its location; I figured I'd let him do his own thing. So this morning, we had just woken up and were preparing to make our way downstairs to eat breakfast. I was in the bathroom standing in the mirror wiping the sleep out of my eye (lol) and trying to fix my hair pineapple when he came in with the box. He got on one knee, pretended to dust off my finger, and put the ring on and asked me to marry him

Well I got engaged today, and I feel like its so fake because of the way he did it...
We discussed over and over about how horrible it would be if he proposed in the car because my mother got proposed that way by my stepfather, and I thought it was sooo lame and... guess where this fool proposed?
In the car.
Well, sorta.
It was weird...he was so nervous that he didn't know how to say it, so he just showed me the ring and asked me if I wanted to see it. I didn't understand what was going on so I just asked him over and over if he was for real or not.
Finally, he realized I wouldn't believe him unless we got out of the car so we got out and he told me how he felt about me and officially asked me to marry him.
I still kinda feel like its not real because the ring is so huge...It seems like something I would buy from claires or icing. haha

My fiance basically recreated our first date.
Earlier in the week he called me and asked me if he could take me to dinner on Friday. I said sure and he said, Great I'll pick you up at 6.
I love sunflowers so on our first date he gave me a beautiful arrangement that had sunflowers in it so for this date he did the same and on the card he wrote the same message: Looking forward to a perfect night with the most beautiful girl in the world.
We went to the same italian place to eat and then we went salsa dancing--just like our first date-- and afterwards we went out for icecream.
We went for a walk in the park and on our first night there was a live jazz band concert in the park so we stayed and listened and did a little dancing.
On this date there was no live concert so he just said, "will you dance with me". I was like there's no music to dance to and he said we don't need any, just dance with me. I was a little embarrassed but I did.
On our first date as we were leaving the park he bought me a rose that lights up that this guy was walking around selling and we went home after that.
So on this night as we were leaving the park he says he has a surprise for me. He pulls out that light up rose and says remember this? Then he said do your remember what I told you when I gave it to you. I did, he said he was the luckiest man alive.
So he got down on his knee and he said, I'm the luckiest man alive. Would you make this the perfect ending to a perfect night by becoming my wife.
He pulled out the ring and put it on my finger and said, I love you, will you marry me?
And I said yes.
Afterwards we went home and there was a big surprise engagement party he set up at my place. He even flew my 3 sisters in for the party and somehow made it happen that I got a special recorded message from my brother who was serving in Iraq at the time but couldn't be there obviously.
It was perfect. I still get teary telling that story.
It was perfect.
