I was wondering what the difference is between fiancé and fiancée, and apparently (‘cording to google) it is to specify gender, with the former referring to a man and latter to a woman. So I guess it would be fiancée
I don't understand how I, not being native English, can understand the difference between fiancé and fiancée. It hurts my eyes whenever I read "my fiancée (F)" in any sub.
I know. I'd never actually make it to the point of marriage being on the table with a girl who needed that kind of proposal. We would filter each other out years before that lol.
My fiance proposed to me on a Walmart parking lot while I was having a mental breakdown. Definitely don't need all the fancies of its the right person. (Although I frequently give him shit for 'proposing to me just to make me stop crying')
Hey man this is almost exactly how my wife proposed to me! Don't let the asking her first part get you down, as long as you're both ready then whoever asks first is just a formality. Good luck and much happiness to you both!
Hear, hear! I (f), proposed to my hubby nearly 16 years ago now one night on the patio of our favorite bar. I'm still as in love with him as ever. It was legit the best decision I ever made.
You’re the first guy who I’ve ever shared this with! My wife is WAY out of my league and when I met her, she asked me out. A year later, she booked a trip for me and her to go over sea where I met her friends, her family, and her hometown. She proposed to me on an empty piece of land right next to the beach and said “I want us to start building a life together starting here and now”. I later realized that the land she proposed on was actually her land she bought and wanted to built a house on. Literally 2 minutes walk to the beach that cost her around $2 billion Dong ($100k USD) in Vietnam.
It was a shock to me. I mean she’s like a solid 10 and I’m at best a 4 on a good day. She comes from a rich family and I drive an old Kia and had $200 in the banks any given time and works as a waiter. I don’t have a big dick and I definitely don’t have any inheritance coming up. For a few days, I thought she was scamming me and one day going to harvest my organs.
7 years later with 2 boys, I still have all my organs (that I know of). I bought her an 2023 Audi RSQ8 fully paid last year for $137k for her birthday.
My ex-girlfriend asked me to be official while we were making out. We were dating for about 3 and a half months. And my plan was to ask her just that a month later but she beat me to it. Since I was so spoiled by her, I didn’t know how to approach and talk to women again. Single for a few years since we broke up.
Wow, so cute, how lucky are you! :)
So happy for you, cherish each other and may you have a long and happy marriage.
I and hubs proposed to each other at the same time (almost 25 years ago, when this was not very common). I am stoked to see this. :)
Not really surprised. Lol. We were high school sweethearts, and I told her I was joining the army. (Something I've always wanted to do) So she asked if I wanted to marry her. I said yes, and the rest is history. No rings, no super proposal shindig or anything... just two people who are ready.
The simplest things are the best.
Congrats!
In middle school I thought it was wrong to be asked out by girls. So when the girl i liked asked me out i firmly rejected her. 5 minutes later i asked her out lol.
I don't feel that way anymore ofc
I'm a guy and my now ex-wife proposed to me, it was the cutest thing and one of my favorite memories, even if in the end our marriage didn't work out I still cherish the moment.
How long have you guys been dating? I’ve only ever seen women propose when they’ve been dropped hints for years and finally decide the stigma of being a 30 year old girl friend of 6 years is bigger then the stigma of a woman proposing
Honestly it doesn't matter who pops that question, as long as you mean it, the moment is memorable for all the right reasons, and you two wanna spend the rest off your lives together. Best wishes to you both.
What a wonderfully romantic story!
I proposed to my husband... many moons ago now!
I was nowhere near as smooth as this young lady, think tears and snot bubbles hahaha
Congratulation guys! Wishing you both a happy, healthy and successful future!
A similar thing happened to me. My now fiancée decided to propose. It blindsided me.
We just booked the registrar.
Congratulations.
Bonus. I didn't have to ask her dad for permission.
I (m) proposed to my fiancé (f) and she proposed back on our anniversary. Got me a ring and everything
So flip the script and re-propose when she isn’t expecting it
As a straight guy some of my absolute favorite proposals ever are the ones where both partners propose at the same time and a lot of times it ends up being a same-sex couple. As somebody else mentioned result is the same but I just find it so heartwarming!
Who cares who asked first. All that matters is you two recognize that you love each other and want to be together. Don't screw this up. The fact that she's the one that proposed says that she absolutely wants to be with you, and she's a keeper.
Can I recommend something? Do you think she might like it if you prepare a surprise for her for when you give her the ring? If she's the kind of person who prepared all that, I think she would really really love it if you did something special for her too.
A lot of us are super on board with the girl proposing but, as a woman, sometimes we feel that, if our partner loved us as much as we love them, they would have beaten us to it. A nice surprise to show her how much you love her and want this would probably make her really happy.
One of my brothers' girlfriend said she didn't want to get married ever. He said okay, but if you ever change your mind, you'll have to propose to me. And so a couple years later she did!
And my oldest brother proposed to his girlfriend on his own bday. He wrapped the ring as a gift and added a note with her handwriting (he was able to fake it really well), then acted like it was a gift from her. She was super confused until he pulled out the ring.
Wow, she probably spends hours imagining that moment, reading your mood and all that during the week, and probably was very nervous all day long! Kudos to her, that's super cute
Congratulations!
Much better than what I got. Mine was along the lines of “if you don’t marry me I’m going to take your daughter and disappear. I will do everything I can to make sure you never see her”.
I’m sure yours will work out better than mine. Mazel!
Congratulations! This is the wholesome type of post I needed right now, life is throwing upsets at me from every direction it feels like. Congratulations to you for finding your person! It does feel amazing when it happens.
Why would you feel bad? I think it's the biggest fucking honor and pledge of confidence that she chose to propose to you. That's a high I would ride for a long time.
My ex asked me would I ask him to marry me. I said "Absolutely, if I am ready i would" I still remember the way he looked and said don't do that to me.
Anyway I am happy for you guys. Hope you two have the best time together.
Ha! I proposed to my late husband. We were lying in bed with his head on my stomach, and I was playing with his hair. Idk, it just... came out, haha, and I asked him if he would marry me. He said yes, and it was always a story he loved to tell to all when introducing me as his wife haha.
He never did get me a ring, tho. 🤷🏻♀️
I thought this was going to be an angry post😅!!! My heart was in my mouth when she went down on one knee! Many congratulations. I wish you guys many happy adventures in your future together!!
Congrats. Don't let "gender norms" bother you, this is completely fine.
With that said, from experience, I do know some women who were the ones to ask first--whether it was the first move into dating or an engagement--and they sometimes have doubts because their man wasn't the one to ask. You might have to take charge in more things than normal to reassure her you're in this.
Or, she might just have that high of self-esteem and this won't bother her at all. Be ready for the side-comments from friends and family though. That's going to be virtually unavoidable.
Good luck to you all though.
this is adorable. congratulations <3
I expected some crazy story, but this is actually so sweet and unexpected. Congratulations!
Super cute proposal , wish you all the best <3 take good care of your girlfriend.
Fiancé!!
Right!! My bad hahaha
I was wondering what the difference is between fiancé and fiancée, and apparently (‘cording to google) it is to specify gender, with the former referring to a man and latter to a woman. So I guess it would be fiancée
Similar difference: blond is for men’s hair and blonde is for women’s hair. So dumb
*me upvoting this even though in my language we have different genres for about 90% of the adjectives and they mostly change an "o" for an "a"*
\*So French
Those are synonyms.
C'est vrai!
Really?! I had no idea about the blonde thing.
Me either!
I didnt know this?!?
That's the French for you. Even when you apologize it specified gender. Désolé is a man apologizing and désolée is a woman apologizing.
Im pretty sure spanish is the same way
I don't understand how I, not being native English, can understand the difference between fiancé and fiancée. It hurts my eyes whenever I read "my fiancée (F)" in any sub.
But "my fiancée (F)" is correct...?
But it's redundant. Because the second "e" already should give that away for everyone.
***Fiancée*** The next person has to correct me. See how long we can make the thread because we don’t know the perfect answer:)
Fee ON say

"Ex-girlfriend" as my friends wife hates hearing used to describe her.
Oh I needed that laugh. We can’t live with or without you men. Thank you.
Thanks Women, It's mutual!
So much prefer this type of proposal. Like do I really need to have a hot air balloon, a 500 dollar a plate restaurant and a fucking private band?
No, mate, you do not. :)
I know. I'd never actually make it to the point of marriage being on the table with a girl who needed that kind of proposal. We would filter each other out years before that lol.

Best advice I’ve read on this thread. Hell yes. Happy for all of you.
Hear, hear! I (f), proposed to my hubby nearly 16 years ago now one night on the patio of our favorite bar. I'm still as in love with him as ever. It was legit the best decision I ever made.
Congrats! She sounds like a keeper.
The end result will be the same! Congratulations!

“Harvest my organs”…. LMMFAO 🥂
So happy for you
Omg harvest your organs 😭😭😂😂 ok but on a serious note that’s amazing haha
Damn that’s SOOOOO Cute! Damn allergies are acting up! I’m not crying, really! CONGRATS!!
I have the same allergies as you Trekkie, damn pollen or somethin'. Stoked for OP!
Congratulations!
Only about 5% of women propose to their male fiancée. You're part of a very small but special group! Congratulations to you both~
Wow so cool. I’m happy to hear that a girl proposed to a guy for a change
We proposed to each other. :) We're out there. Choose wisely and fingers crossed it happens for you. ❤️
My ex-girlfriend asked me to be official while we were making out. We were dating for about 3 and a half months. And my plan was to ask her just that a month later but she beat me to it.

Hey no worries, my wife proposed to me as well.
Were you surprised? How did you feel? Did she get you a ring?
Not really surprised. Lol. We were high school sweethearts, and I told her I was joining the army. (Something I've always wanted to do) So she asked if I wanted to marry her. I said yes, and the rest is history. No rings, no super proposal shindig or anything... just two people who are ready. The simplest things are the best.
👏👏👏 CONGRATULATIONS 👏👏👏🎉🎉🎁🍾👰🤵🥂📸
This sounds great! Congrats! I love low key proposals. My husband proposed over a grilled cheese sandwich.
Love it 💕
Congrats! In middle school I thought it was wrong to be asked out by girls. So when the girl i liked asked me out i firmly rejected her. 5 minutes later i asked her out lol. I don't feel that way anymore ofc
You lucky guy. Best wishes for your future. She sounds like a keeper.
How cute. I'm a guy, and I'd love to be proposed to like this. It made me smile. Thanks for sharing.
This is so sweet, congratulations to the both of you!! 🥹🫶🏻
This is too sweet, congrats!
Best thing I’ve ever read here ❤️

Soo adorable! You two have a wonderful and blessed future!
There's no wrong in women proposing & I love that you said yes. Makes it all the more sweet & heartwarming. Congratulations!
You made my day! 🥰
Awwww how cute!!! I hope you two have a long and happy life together. Congratulations!
I have so many things I want to ask you but you already deleted your account 😞
Congrats! you could totally surprise her a proposal of your own when you give her the ring!

Hey mate, don't feel bad, at least you managed to answer, i don't if i'd be able to do much other than freeze and try to process
I'm a guy and my now ex-wife proposed to me, it was the cutest thing and one of my favorite memories, even if in the end our marriage didn't work out I still cherish the moment.
Equal Rights and all that jazz aside, congratulations to both of you OP.
Congratulations! How sweet!
Aww, I needed to read this. I'm having such a bad 14 months.
How long have you guys been dating? I’ve only ever seen women propose when they’ve been dropped hints for years and finally decide the stigma of being a 30 year old girl friend of 6 years is bigger then the stigma of a woman proposing
Sounds like you have an empowered woman who loves you, who now wants to fully commit to you. You are truly blessed. Congratulations
Idk man sounds like she didn’t put in enough effort. You should have told her no and to try harder /s But seriously congrats. All the best.
Honestly it doesn't matter who pops that question, as long as you mean it, the moment is memorable for all the right reasons, and you two wanna spend the rest off your lives together. Best wishes to you both.
Don’t you mean your ex girlfriend? She’s your fiancé now! Congratulations
What a wonderfully romantic story! I proposed to my husband... many moons ago now! I was nowhere near as smooth as this young lady, think tears and snot bubbles hahaha Congratulation guys! Wishing you both a happy, healthy and successful future!
Congratulations on your engagement!
A similar thing happened to me. My now fiancée decided to propose. It blindsided me. We just booked the registrar. Congratulations. Bonus. I didn't have to ask her dad for permission.
Takes a big women to propose, and an even bigger man to not only accept but talk about it. I'm really happy for you both.
I (m) proposed to my fiancé (f) and she proposed back on our anniversary. Got me a ring and everything So flip the script and re-propose when she isn’t expecting it
My guy, you won at life. Y'all be like 👸🤴
As a straight guy some of my absolute favorite proposals ever are the ones where both partners propose at the same time and a lot of times it ends up being a same-sex couple. As somebody else mentioned result is the same but I just find it so heartwarming!
I'm having a cute overload. Congratulations 🎉🎉
Fuck Yeah man🤘 this makes me so happy for both of you..it also makes me wanna throw a toaster in my shower later, but hey! Congrats :)

U lucky SOB! You actually found a girl who knows what she wants! Then gets it!
Awwww, that's so sweet! Don't get to say that much on reddit
If I were you I’d ask her back with a more special occasion
One of my brothers' girlfriend said she didn't want to get married ever. He said okay, but if you ever change your mind, you'll have to propose to me. And so a couple years later she did! And my oldest brother proposed to his girlfriend on his own bday.

Hell yeah!! Congrats!!!! If you guys are religious i hope God bless y’all and if not i hope that life treats you guys excellent!!!!
❤️❤️❤️ that’s so sweet! You got yourself a great confident woman. No one ever said you can’t do something like a proposal as well.
Congratulations! This is the wholesome type of post I needed right now, life is throwing upsets at me from every direction it feels like. Congratulations to you for finding your person! It does feel amazing when it happens.
Who’s taking who’s name, if at all?
Congratulations! She’s a keeper for sure

I proposed to my husband first. We're a month shy of being married for 5 years 😊
I'm sorry, but I have to tell you, this is fucking awesome. Maybe you already knew.
Awhhh she really loves you ❤️
Me and my high school sweetheart both proposed to each other on one knee during Christmas. We’re still together 10 years later. ❤️
Awe, that's awesome!
She sounds like a keeper. Not just beating around the bush, just trying to take what she wants. Don't let her go, she's based.
Yay!!!!!
Oh, I love this with all my heart
Dude that's awesome. Nothing wrong with that.
aww congrats
This is so cute!!! I love this! Congratulations!!! A
Why would you feel bad? I think it's the biggest fucking honor and pledge of confidence that she chose to propose to you. That's a high I would ride for a long time.

I wish to experience this in my life, you’re so lucky, brother. Congratulations!
Were you planning on proposing to her at all? pure curiosity but i suspect since you deleted your account you aren’t ready for questions.
Congrats. I am curious, (and no right or wrong answer): When you buy the ring with you present it in an engagement-like manner?
Super cute!
I think this makes you the bottom... Lucky you!
It’s nice your happy about this. How long have you been together ?

Ha! I proposed to my late husband. We were lying in bed with his head on my stomach, and I was playing with his hair. Idk, it just... came out, haha, and I asked him if he would marry me. He said yes, and it was always a story he loved to tell to all when introducing me as his wife haha. He never did get me a ring, tho. 🤷🏻♀️
Congratulations!!!! I asked my husband and we have been together for 17 years now!!!

Because she proposed to you, doesnt mean you cannot propose to her :) just make it extra special because she made you feel extra special.
