Roger Bartlett

He promised he would marry you one day in the tunnel but he did officially propose to you at the train station after coming back from the war.

The ring is a family heirloom, from his grandmother.


Virgil Hilts

He proposed in the most casual way out of all of them. It was about a year after the end of the war. To be completely honest, he didn't expect to change courses, going on a British train. He surprised you when you were waiting to meet your brother there.

You were taking a walk in the park, talking about normal things. It was a common occurrence for the two of you. He liked walking around London with your arm in his.

"Hey, babe. Wanna get married?"

"sure"

Turns out he had the ring in his pocket the whole walk just arguing with himself if it would scare you away. 

The ring was a Tiffany's princess diamond


Eric Ashley-Pitt

He proposed to you the day he returned from the navy. He took one look at you and knew that there was no better moment than what you both were experiencing. You had missed him so much so the moment you saw him, you began to sob. It only got worse when he got down on one knee.

He didn't even need to say it for you to start shouting yes through your tears.

He acquired the ring while on dry land in France. A simple gold ring with a ruby in the middle and four diamonds around it. He saved a child from drowning when she fell off the side of the pier and in return, her grandmother had insisted he take it in return.


Robert Hendley

A classic romantic date under an old oak tree with a picnic, two glasses of wine and a black velvet box.

He waited until dark when you both started to stargaze and slipped it onto your finger while holding it. 

A white gold ring with two emeralds and a diamond between them.


Willie

A Christmas proposal! It was the last present he let you open that day and when you saw it, you hugged him so much that he fell back onto the carpet. You both just cuddled in front of the fire for the rest of the holiday with hot chocolate.

It was his mother's old ring from when she was married.


Danny

He got you a puppy for your birthday and the ring was on its collar. Need I say more?

You cried and obviously said yes. Doggo loves you both so much


Mac

He took you to a festival in town and proposed to you on the Ferris wheel :)

You freaked out on it and almost got told off by the dude who was controlling it for jumping into his lap and kissing him
