conv: The night of my wedding proposal i was not expecting my boyfriend to get down on one knee and ask me to be his wife I was thinking about my boyfriends wedding proposal the other night_comma_ it had left me in absolute shock. I did not expect him to get down on one knee and propose. Why. Did you started dating recently or something No we'd been dating a very long time but he was never the traditional kind. Never wanted an official ceremony but after meeting me i guess it all changed! The most important thing is what you want.
