There was really no proposal either way. We were coming up on four years and we've always known we wanted to get married--my SO said it would happen after he graduated, and since he is graduating June 2010, I in turn told him this summer that we ought to set a date and get going on the planning. So we picked a date--August 28th, 2010. The date is special--it is 2 days after our anniversary, 2 days after his parents wedding anniversary (yes, just so happens their anniversary is ours), and just before his grandparents' anniversary as well.
My parents then came for a visit and they took me to Costco. My mom and I looked at the rings while we were there, just in case there was something, because we had decided to start looking for a ring. Sure enough, there in the case was this lovely white gold band set with tiny diamonds to look like flowers and leaves. So I told my SO about it when I got home, and I insisted that we go back to Costco a couple days later with his mother to look at it together. He agreed that it was pretty and within our price range, so we bought it.
He wouldn't let me have it until we got to his parents house, but even then, there was no proposal. He just put the ring on my finger. I'm okay with that. It's mostly my fault anyhow; he says I am too unromantic for him to propose. I would probably just laugh, and he's probably right.
