My memory of Jerry's proposal (which has probably been edited in memory): we were driving back to the airport from my step-sister's wedding, and stopped for breakfast.
Jerry: "I could imagine us being the sort of couple that was engaged for years and years before getting married." Me: "Yeah, I could see that. Wait, was that a proposal?" Jerry: "Um... sure, I guess so!" Me: "Well, okay then."
I kind of thought about trying to have a do-over that made for a better romantic story, but we never did. :) And, it's kind of emblematic of our relationship in general, which is pretty low-key but on the same page.
I think of proposals as the big relationship milestone that you plan separately, and weddings as the big relationship milestone that you plan together. It doesn't surprise me that the first doesn't always come together so well. :-\
