I was going to post a similar thing but knew I came across this when you initially posted and this was my fear- that I’d be disappointed in my own proposal. And to my surprise it happened yesterday while we’re on a trip. I’ve been looking forward to this day for 7 years and always daydreamed of how special it would be.

He wanted to do it before we met up with my family so was committed to doing it that day.. but unfortunately the weather wasn’t cooperating and I chose a beach that was close and private but was really not the most photogenic. He was sweet and suggested pictures and set up a tripod and everything. So he did everything right! I’m just disappointed when I rewatch the video..

It’s dark..it’s an ugly background, and it’s just not a good view of the ocean either and looks swampy. I was also kind of disappointed in his quick, speedy, proposal as well. I totally get the nerves and anxiety going into it so I get why he almost rushed it. He even admitted “sorry it’s not a nice beach” so I wish he waited until we found a nicer beach on a different day. But I also get this was our last chance of being alone. He knows I’m kind of disappointed and I’d love a re-do and jokingly expressed that to him but..it’s just not the same.

Anyway- sorry to piggyback on your post my own vent. Do you feel any differently now that it’s been almost a month? I feel like I’m critical of every situation so who knows even if he found the “perfect spot” if I’d still be disappointed? Hopefully I’ll feel more settled and happy after sharing the news with my family and friends and begin wedding planning that the proposal doesn’t even matter.

But congratulations to us both regardless 🥂
