Best gay marriage proposals


By

Same sex marriage has been legal now in Ireland for over two years (whoop!), since then we've been featuring lots of beautiful, cool, romantic and fun gay weddings here on One Fab Time (and we'd love to feature more, so photographers, send them our way!).

But today we're talking about the bit that comes before all the venue searching, the dress or suit shopping, and the table planning the proposal.

We're bringing you same sex proposal ideas from real life couples; people who've been there, bought the ring, and popped the question (sometimes even scuppering their other half's proposal plans!).

Surprise Gay Marriage Proposal in Brighton

This surprise gay marriage proposal during Pride couldn&#;t have been more perfect. These two are so in sync and they are the best of friends.

Woody and Richard wanted their two year anniversary to be special. They met during Pride in Brighton, so Richard knew he wanted to offer at Preston Park. We chatted a few ideas and he really wanted to do a small picnic in the afternoon. So I reached out to Tania Russell Weddings, who is a Sussex LGBTQ Wedding Planner to see if she&#;d be available to put a little something together.

When Woody reached out he explained that Richard had spilled the beans! They were talking about their future together and it all came out &#; it can be hard keeping secrets for some people, and Richard was definitely one!
