Did He Propose To You While Incarcerated?

[hisgirl4ever12]

I answered yes. My fiance proposed to me in a letter, then over the phone, and then again in person, when we had our first (and only) visit, which was 2 hours, behind the glass. I have let him know though that I do want a real proposal someday, once we are in good financial shape and he is able to get me a really nice ring, even though we will already be married, I still want to have a romantic proposal but what girl doesn't want that? For us, it was love at first sight. We looked at each other, and we knew right away we'd finally found the one. We were engaged after 1 month together. Now we've been together, it will be 15 months on October 7th. He is coming home in a few months, and our wedding is in March. I'm very happy and lucky to call him my fiance, and I can't wait to be his wife!

He asked me if I meant it when I said I loved him. When I said yes, he got down on one knee said "I love you, will you marry me?" I was so shocked. Only thing that would have made it better was if he have contact visits!! I will never forget it, it was the perfect proposal!!
We're getting married in 2 months!!

[DBsGirl2016]

Yes after 6 months of talking/dating again, my boyfriend proposed to me! I thought it was sweet but i also had and still have some reasons for not jumping into that kind of commitment! I love my boyfriend but we have been apart/haven't seen eachother for almost 4 years now. Even Though we have been in a relationship for a year and a half now, i still think we should wait till he gets out, so we can see how we act towards each other, get use to being around each other, let him get use to being "out", etc. He also has a daughter and so do i and i don't want to get either one of them attached, and things to just fall apart. He still to this day asks when we are gonna get married and already calls me his wife. I love my boyfriend so much and hopefully we will get married in the future!

David proposed to me but I couldn't tell you the day. He has been calling me his last name for awhile so the proposal wasn't really nothing out of the norm. I said yes but who am I fooling. Been there done that. I married my X husband in jail it lasted a helleva year. I thought I had been sentence time talk about misery. We had a beautiful, expensive wedding but the love was not there. Now here I am again with David I tried explaining to him what marriage means to me. Marriage means to "me" two people coming together under God and professing their love and committment to one another. It means two people physically, emotionally and financially there for one another conquering the highs and lows that this world brings forth. Marriage is not someone standing in front of me that I have no feelings for saying the words that David is suppose to be saying. Then I go home to my kids alone still dealing with stuff alone. Waking up and going to sleep alone. He seems not to understand but this girl right here won't be marrying no one else in jail. If it is so real then we can wait til you get home.

[hisalone]

He hasn't "officially" asked me but like many of you he often refers to me by his last name and in a recent letter he called me his future bride. Our plan when this is all over is for him to come home to me and for us to be a family. For both of us, that means marriage so the "proposal" is a formality. If he asked, I'd marry him tomorrow.

[Jasons.wifey]

Wow! I never knew the proposal from my inmate was so similar to everybody else's. My bf has been in and out of jail for the past almost 3 years we have been together, and every time we have talked about marriage and starting a family when he comes home. But last year when he asked me to marry him I started making the arrangements for the wedding before he got out.. we were only having a small wedding just a few family and friends, so I went ahead and sent out the invites and made all the necessary appointments etc. Our date was set for Feb 14th!

When he got out in January everything was going great! He invited a few more people including his lawyer/bail bondsman(= But after everything was set and ready to go, I had my dress, we had a church...and he had cold feet! Well needless to say we called off the wedding )=

That, I have to say was the most humiliating thing I've ever had to do! I was still having to explain to people who were congratulating us months later that the wedding never happened!!!

So now u can understand my hesitation... He has asked me once again if I would marry him?? He knows I love him and I want to marry him more than anything, but I just can't bring myself to say "yes" and then be humiliated like that again. I don't know what to do at this point?

[Laura-n-Larry]

WOW this was/is great, CONGRATULATIONS!

So I start shaking and turning all red I could feel all the eyes on us and I didnt even take my eyes off him. As he was proposing the camera man was taking pictures of us it was so romantic my baby planned the whole thing he's such a sweetheart! I really cant remember everything he said but I know I heard will you marry me and I said yes!!

[JD's_Dutchess]

He sure did. We had talked about it before but it was a total surprise when he did. We had overcome some turbulances, worked through it together and it bonded us together even stronger. He proposed when he finally came off medium custody down to minimum. Our relationship is based on trust and honesty. He's the love of my life

[Stretch's Girl]

My fiancé did propose to me while being incarcerated. He got me a beautiful ring and looked into my eyes and told me that he really loves me and that he wants to spend the rest of his life with me, he said I've never loved anyone one the way I love you, you make me want to become a better person, you except me
For who I am and not once have you tried to change me, And said Jennifer will you marry me? And of course I said YES YES YES!!!!!

[Boandaisey]

My bf proposed to me in a beautiful card he made with our photo inside. We had been talkin about it for months but nothing was offical. So he did propose and I accepted. I have bought our rings and I am presently waiting on the marriage license. He is simply amazing and we both love each other with all that is in us. He comes home in early Summer and we are anxious to begin our life together. "God Gave Me You" is one of our favorite songs.

[flcountrygurl]

Awesome stories! They all interested me. We are starting the process to get married now. He has been down for almost 29 years now. We were friends before he went in and have remained that way all this time. He told me many years ago to go live my life but when he got out that whoever had me, had to give me up. I finally answered a letter, after my son went to prison, that I had been shuffling around on my desk for a year. I needed my best friend to lean on and tell me what to expect. We have stayed in contact and he asked me to marry him but I told him at that time that I didn't want to get married behind the fences. I have since rethought that and don't want to wait any longer so we are starting the process.

He is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Then he asked me if I was certian I want to be the mother of his children and his wife. I said yes. We connect to well and have to much in common. He is a pastor and I am a woman of God. We both agree it was God who lead me to his pen pal ad and holy spirit is guiding us through the rest. I have never been so happy or felt this renewed.

When I first wrote to K I was a church member in WV. The church I used to go to was against me visiting him. But I really wanted to. So I asked God if I could. Then God told me the same bible verse you just mentioned about (I was in prison, you came to visit me) so I knew I had God's approval to go so I did. It turned out to be the best visit I ever had. I will never be sorry I went to visit him. The hardest part? When I wanted to keep our conversations ( I am deaf so we had to communicate by pencil and paper) they would not let me. So I went home in tears. I did not feel good leaving him there in prison. I remember that day I was suppose to go to the airport to go back home, I looked up and I said, "God, I will go...but just promise me You would take care of him for me." I wrote him a 6 page letter telling him how I missed him already. He wrote back and said, I miss you too. It is nice to have someone who also had God's approval.

First time my fiancé asked me to marry him was over the phone and I said that I would but I wanted him to say it to face cuz it would mean more to me that way especially since we hadn't at the time even met each other in person yet all he seen seen were pictures of me. And then when he reasked me to marry him it was the first time meeting each other and it wasn't even 5 mins. Of being in the room... We hugged we kissed then he dropped to one knee infront of everyone there and asked me to marry him! <3 I said yes I would love to marry you! It was cute we even took pictures with him on one knee just to capture the moment! And I have it in a frame that I got during the valentines day holiday and on it it reads "A thousand times yes!" He's the love of my life no matter what I'm his ride or die woman! <3

Lovin my king/daddy/heart/everything to the fullest! <3 F the public!

Not to sound condescending to those who have gotten married while their man is incarcerated, it's just not for us. If that's what you want, then go for it! It's really very sweet.

I know this is prob way late but you answered just as I was thinking w me and my love!!!

[smithdb2008]

No I asked him tee he

[GabesWifeyBoo]

Nope, he proposed to me before he got locked up.

[Sweet3stPain]

I've known my fiance since I was 13 and he proposed to me a few months after I turned 17 and then a of months later he was locked up and later convicted. When he first got locked up we were going to get married in the prison but it ended up not happening because I had my family in my ear and his family in his saying that we were too young and we didn't know what we were getting into. 7 years have passed and we are now talking about getting married again and I still have some people that don't agree with it but I try to tell them that I've had 7 years of thinking this through and I want it more than anything because the only thing that has changed is that our love has grown stronger as we have grown wiser. I want to say to all of you ladies that it is true that if someone wants to marry you only after they are incarcerated than you should be a little weary about it because it is true that the environment causes them to want and need love more. However, if you truly love them follow your own thoughts because others will come in to tell you that you should not do it and yet you see them in relationships with horrible people that walk the street every day. Love is truly unconditional in this environment.

[New-2-This]

He first asked me on the phone and i said yes of course and on our first visit he came out and to my surprise he got down on one knee in the middle of the visiting room and asked me again to marry him because he wanted to do it right before we got married, because our marraige packet was already approved by then and we get married in 2 and a half weeks, so that was the last time i saw him and wont see him again until our wedding day on the 18th, i was so embarrassed i begged him to get up and he said not until you say yes, im like yes yes yes now get up, and everyone was clapping, i was all red, and im dark skinned so you can imagine how embarrassed i was! but it was so cute

[StressKilla]

We're MWI, and we've only been talking five months, and I haven't been to see him yet. Going at the end of this month. He hasn't asked me, but the other day while we were talking, I mentioned that I applied for a dispatch operator job with my local police department, and he slipped up and said, "Won't that be funny, me on parole and my wife working for the police department?" I was like, "What did you say?" We laughed so hard, and he was kind of embarrassed, but not too much of an outrageous idea. We've talked about it, but I'm the one who says I'm not ready to jump into marriage. I've been married, and divorced, and it's not something I would do again lightly. I'd have to be SURE. But I think he and I will know more after I get up there to visit.

[J's lady]

Reading all of your stories really lifts my heart. Congrats to all of you! You guys know what true love is.

[praise&k]

No we have been engaged since 08 he proposed while out but we just filed papers n will b doing it this year God willing. Its nerve racking though lol. I'm new to the site just joined today bc I noticed its a supportive atmosphere. My fiancée just took a plea to serve 6 years :-( long road ahead but we maintain our faith.

[TxTornado]

I grew up with my husband and he was my first love...he moved away and we lost touch...27 years later I found him doing time and we got in touch. Just started writing as friends but found the love was there. It has been a whirlwind romance and I have never been happier. He brought a paper rose with a little tag out to visitation with "I love you Angel" on one side and "Will you marry me" on the other side. He then got down on his knee and recited a poem he had written for me and verbally asked me to be his wife. Through the tears I said yes and we were married on 11-12-11. We are both very blessed, happy and in love! True love will always prevail!
