the PROPOSAL meme

We've see it everywhere. Rings inside Pokeballs, in cakes, in drinks, during baseball games and more. This meme pinpoints on some of the more interesting (and really adorable!) ways to tell someone you want to spend the rest of your life with them!

Rules:
-Comment with your character.
-Someone responds, picking a number from 1 to 8, and plays out the specific proposal situation. (Note that the second person should be the one propsing, but it doesn't matter!)
-Thread!
-???
-PROFIT.

So how are YOU going to propose to your darling dearest, after being together for so long? Well...

1. Down on One Knee
Traditionally. Either in public or privately, one of you has taken the daring risk of becoming completely vulnerable in the midst of the other. You've got the perfect ring tucked into your coat jacket, and now all that's left is to see how the other reacts.

2. Cake
After a long, very expensive dinner, all that's left is dessert. In one bite in particular, you feel a hard... something hit your teeth. Upon investigating this strange object, you find a beautiful ring covered in cake in your hand. Look up, and you'll find your significant other looking at you with those adorable goo goo eyes you just love.

3. Fortune Cookie
It's your average night at the local Chinese resturant, nothing too special. And of course, every American knows that a good Chinese meal is never over until you eat the fortune cookie. But on this night, you crack open your cookie, surprised to find there's a lovely little ring looking back at you. The slip of paper that goes with all fortune cookies reads a simple: "Will you marry me?"(in bed???)

4. During the Game
In the midst of the tired players taking their much earned break at half time, and the seemingly hundreds of birthday wishes flying past on the large screen, one message in particular will stand out to you. " ____ will you marry me?" And when you turn to your lover, heart thumping loudly, you'll see a huge ring presented before you.

5. In a Book
Just a quiet night together, playing some games, reading a few books. Upon locating a particular book, you crack it open, only to find that the pages have been hollowed out, leaving only a beautiful ring,and a delicate note saying "Will you marry me?"in its place.

6. During the Movies
A.k.a MysteryGuitarMan on Youtube's most adorable proposal. You've prepared a little scene at the begining of the movies, and had the people in charge play in between movie previews. The lights go up, buddy, and now it's your time to shine!

7. One Balloon
Better known as "the most adorable scene in Super Junior's No One music video." You've got tons of balloons, and together you and your honey let them go fly into the sky. But why didn't you let the last one go? I'll say that ring attatched to the end has something to do with it!

8. Anything!
There is no doubt in my mind that I have missed out on some really cute proposals, so make your own up!

the MARRIAGE meme

Strike up the church bells! Flower girls, hold that train high! What a massive ring! And the groom's best friends might as well forgot about seeing him at all for the next few weeks, because that dude is busy.

Busy BEING MARRIED. Like you are, now. Congratulations!

Rules:

• Comment with your character.
• Reply to others ICly.
• Anyone you reply to is now.... YOUR SPOUSE.
• Bicker, coo, argue about how the wedding went or how the divorce is going, or enjoy the many pleasures of the marital bed!

proposal, 2, no smut!

[allydarling]

[Ally is starving, absolutely starving. Even after the huge meal Steve made, all she wants is this cake that Steve set in front of her on a plate. Seriously, it looks soft and spongy and the icing looks amazing and she's pretty sure it's gonna be the best cake she's ever had.

So, she takes a huge chunk out of it and shovels it in her mouth before Steve can even sit back down. What? No one ever said she was a lady. And the cake is magnificent, except when she swallows, something feels weird going down her throat.]

Oh, shit. I think I just consumed a foreign object. Do you think we can sue?

you are terrible! haha

[starspangledspandex]

[And to think Steve had spent forever planning tonight. The cake is made from a scratch, like it should be and it's an old recipe that he'd found from his time. Cake like he remembers it tasting and this had been the same way his dad had proposed.

He hadn't counted on Ally to be quite so voracious in her appetite. There's a moment where he opens his mouth to say something and then the cake is pretty much gone. Along with the diamond ring, if her comment is anything to go by and now Steve is bordering on horrified.

His eyes are wide as he stares at her and he rubs a hand at his forehead.]

No, because I, uh, put it there.

Proposal-8-you know what verse

[littlspecificty]

It was nearing a month now since Steve had more or less returned to him from the dead; their children had taken to him immediately and Arthur still wasn't able to believe it was real when he woke up to either have his mate there sleeping beside him or his scent still lingering on the sheets.

The life they had together now almost seemed to good to be true. Arthur didn't want to seem pessimistic or doubt Steve when he said he would never leave them again but... They were only mated with twins. While those bonds could be recognized since Steve was an Alpha, they weren't "officially" married to each other.

But then, Arthur couldn't say he had ever expected it to happen to just as he had never expected to find a mate he loved or have children of his own.

[starspangledspandex]

He dragged Arthur and the kids out to a private bit of land that Tony owned for a few days of camping. This way they could play however they wanted and it wouldn't be a big deal if they showed off a little bit of their special abilities. SHIELD couldn't touch them. Couldn't see them here even if they wanted.

A picnic and a campfire seemed like a great idea and simple. These plans were a few weeks in the making. He wanted to make things between them official and he felt like their kids should be there, even if they weren't paying attention. Arthur didn't need anything fancy and they didn't have to make it official but he knew it was a thing that he wanted, that his mate wanted.

So, at twilight, with the fire flickering in the background and their meal over besides for S'mores, Steve stared nervously at Arthur. "Having fun?"

Going for 1&8. This proposal technique actually came from the comics and i'm using it. Booya.

Tony had something planned like immediately right after they were done with their latest mission- the billionaire figured it was about time he ask for steve's hand in marriage. They've had a rough start in their relationship but things finally look so damn perfect, that tony is going to take every advantage of this opportunity, so you can be damn well sure he bought the other an engagement ring which is tucked snuggly in his pants pocket in a small purple box. After they jump into the jet after their mission and in tony's case, fixes his soon-to-be husband's hair because he's the doting type, stark then turns to cap as he leads the supersoldier to the front of the plane and says, "Hey, Steve, would you come here for a moment? There's something I want to show you."

haha o7

[starspangledspandex]

Steve stows his shield and the rest of the gear. He's not expecting anything to happen at the moment. He's still reviewing the mission they've just gotten through with in his head, considering how everyone had moved and reacted, mentally making notes on what needs improved before next time.

"Yeah, give me a minute," he glances up towards Tony and nods, straightening his uniform as he heads towards the front of the plane. "What do you got?" He's still kind of in mission mode.

[tasteslikecoconut]

So yeah, they're... married now. Crazy, right?

It all feels a lot surreal, considering how badly the two of them had kicked off their start together. But the cutting the wire and special bottle magic arguments were long behind them after five years of working together on and off the battlefield as it were brought them so close together sometimes it was weirder seeing one without the other in tow.

Of course the road hadn't been easy. One being the man out of time, and the other the voice of the future and all, there were obvious bumps that needed to be evened out first. Steve had unsurprisingly been the one to solidify their relationship, while Tony had skirted his affections for the other man for well over a year, and the two of them actually coming out to the rest of the team had been no surprise in the slightest.

"'Bout damn time," was all Clint had said, and the rest seemed to be in about the same boat about the matter, while Tony had apparently been oblivious to everyone else's knowledge of his own feelings.

Now, fast forward another three years, and Tony was the one who had stepped up to the plate and asked for his partner's hand. They each wore one of the other's main colors on the engagement rings - Steve wore Tony's red, and Tony wore Steve's blue - and tonight (another three months later, Tony's patience couldn't hold out longer than that) they completed the set.

Happy cried when they kissed. Pepper smiled the widest Tony'd ever seen after they broke apart. Bruce might have tried to hide his tears behind his sleeve, but Tony wouldn't tell on him. Clint was taking full advantage of the open bar, always a good sign. Natasha was playing babysitter for Clint. Thor was clapping the loudest of everyone else in the room. Rhodey golf clapped with a little tiny smile but Tony knew he was more happy for him than anyone.

Even the super villains took a day off from being corrupt and evil, because no one wanted to face Captain America's shield if someone interrupted his big day.

And now? Now they're dancing. Their first dance as a wedded couple. Tony has smiled so much tonight his cheeks burn.

"I should have worn the suit," Tony says up at his husband, because even his inch-high heeled shoes couldn't keep him on par with Steve. "Then you could have been the one standing on my toes instead of the other way around. For once."

[starspangledspandex]

It is crazy to find himself standing here. Particularly given how rocky their start had been and how many harsh words they've said to each other over the years. Steve fresh out of the ice would never have envisioned himself standing here, dancing here, with Tony Stark of all people.

Steve couldn't believe it. He also couldn't be happier. He'd been shocked when Tony had made this move just because the man had a reputation and never seemed like the sort that would officially tie himself to anyone. It had been a pleasant and amazing surprise. His answer was always going to be yes. No doubts.

He's made a home here. Friends and a life and now an honest to god family. The wedding itself is small and just made up of the most important people in their lives. It could have been loud and flashy but surprisingly, for something Tony had a hand in, it's simple and elegant.

Steve is used to smiling but seeing it so much from Tony is rewarding. It only makes his own smile wider. He chuckles as he looks down at his own husband and that is a word that will never get old.

"You can't kiss me in the suit," he points out and does just that as he tightens his arm around Tony's waist.

Even with two master assassins, SHIELD’s best team to be exact, not every mission goes according to plan. This was one of those rare missions that, despite doing everything right, had just gone completely to hell in a hand basket, and that was why Hawkeye and the Black Widow suddenly found themselves crouched down behind a stack of crates, bullets piercing the air all around them, not to mention their current shelter.

“Well, I’d say this is going pretty well,” Clint Barton said. Popping up from behind the crate he fired off a single arrow at the foot of three gunmen before dropping back down and pressing his back to the crate beside his partner. Hitting a button on his specialized bow, the arrow exploded, taking down the three men.

[red_andblack]

It wasn't just a hazard they were prepared for; not even a minor error in judgement. The only description Natasha had for it was a full on disaster right from the get-go. But, she wasn't alone in thinking that. As SHIELD agents back at headquarters screamed through their headsets, the Black Widow bobbed up and down from behind their shield.

"Yeah, sure. A picnic in the park." she grunted as a bullet grazed her shoulder. "Now if only we could do something about these ants."
