The Proposal
My fiance and I had been dating for about three months. He went
to the Bahamas for a week on a mission trip. The next week, I
went on a church trip with our youth group as a chaperone. So we
didn't see each other for about two weeks. When I got back from
camp on Friday, he gave me an invitation to a candle-light
dinner for two. On Saturday, he picked me up. I wore a dress and
he had on a shirt, pants, and a tie. He looked really great. We
went to his house. We had the house to ourselves because his
family had gone out of town. He made me close my eyes and led me
into the dining room where I could hear soft, romantic music
playing. I opened my eyes and saw the most beautiful table
setting that I had ever seen. There were roses on the table. He
had pulled out his mother's china, and there was a bottle of
sparkling grape juice on the table. It was beautiful. Well, we
had a salad, a steak and a baked potato. After we finished
eating, he told me to close my eyes. He said that he was
bringing dessert and I had to taste it and guess what it was.
Well, when he got back in the dining room, he knelt down in
front of me. He said, "I want you to make me the happiest man in
the world. Will you marry me?" Wow!! I said yes and opened my
eyes. He was holding the most beautiful diamond ring that I have
ever seen in my life. We have been engaged for three months now
and the years ahead of us will be the greatest ever. -submitted

The Proposal of a Lifetime
Tomorrow, I am proposing to my girlfriend of 4 1/2 yrs. My
girlfriend believes she is going to a seminar through her
company. (She goes on quite a few during the year). I called her
boss and told her to send her on a seminar on 'Leadership'
(which I will be hosting). I rented out a conference room at the
'Sheraton' hotel (they were great - gave me a really good
deal!). I managed to gather a group of 10 people to take part in
the seminar with a professional presenter. I designed a nice
PowerPoint presentation and at the end, the presenter is going
to show a video on 'Lifetime Leaders - The Proposal of a
Lifetime” - at this point, a slideshow of my girlfriend and I
will appear and in the background our song will be playing. At
the end of the video, there will be a taping of myself, telling
her how much I love her. At that point, I will walk into the
boardroom and propose. -submitted by David Lachmansingh
Under the Moonlight
The day I was proposed to was one of the happiest days of my
life. After spending the day together watching a movie, my
boyfriend took me blindfolded into the bedroom. When I opened my
eyes there was the whole room lit with candles. He began to kiss
me and well you can imagine the rest. He asked me if I loved
him, I responded with all my heart. He then took me at that
moment to the beach. It was a chilly April evening. There on a
rock, over looking the ocean and under the moonlight, he got
down on one knee. He read me a poem he had made. The last line
of the poem asked me to marry him. He pulled out a ring and
there was the most beautiful ring I'd ever seen. It brings a
smile to my face every time I remember that evening. He
definitely saved the best for last. -submitted by Jeanie
Vacation of a Lifetime
My boyfriend and I had been dating for about 3 years, and he
finally gave into my idea of going on vacation together. He said
one of his close friends was a travel agent and that I wouldn't
have to worry about planning anything. Finally our little
get-away came around, and all I knew was that we were going to a
beach somewhere. When we arrived I couldn't believe my eyes! The
room was absolutely gorgeous and incredibly romantic. That night
we just hung out at the beach and didn't do much. But, the next
morning I got more than I ever bargained for. When I woke up, I
noticed my boyfriend wasn't next to me. So I got up and started
to look around the room until I saw a path of rose petals
leading out on the balcony. I followed the trail and when I
looked out the balcony I saw the words “Will You Marry Me?”
sketched out in the sand right outside, below me. Then my
boyfriend emerged from the room and onto the balcony (dressed in
tux and all!) with a diamond ring. He asked if I would make him
the happiest man alive by growing old with him, and I said yes.
It was the most romantic thing he had ever done for me. The rest
of our vacation was fabulous as we celebrated our love and
up-coming life together. -submitted by Anonymous
Velvet Rose Ring Box
I took my love out to dinner on Valentine’s Day at our favorite
restaurant. Not wanting to spoil the surprise I had set up, I
had secretly slipped away during the day and left 6 real red
roses and 6 fake 'Velvet Rose Ring Box' roses at the restaurant,
marking the 'special' one so the waiter would know which one he
should get last. I had the waiter leave a vase on the table and
alternate bringing out real red roses and the fake red ones one
at a time. Each of the fake roses had a small poem folded up
inside for him to read. By the time we reached dessert, he had 6
real red roses and 5 fake ones. We shared some strawberries in
port wine and just as we finished feeding one another the final
rose came out. Inside I had put a silver claddagh promise ring
for him, to match the promise ring he had given me on our 1 yr
anniversary. He loved it and still wears it every day! You can
get the 'Velvet Rose Ring Boxes' in sets of 12 from Oriental
Trading Co.--they don't cost much and are very creative.

Walking On Clouds
My fiancé and I love spending time at the beach. On one
beautiful spring day he picked me up and brought me to the beach
for a picnic lunch. While we were sitting there enjoying each
other's company a plane flew over head. I looked up because it
sounded like it was right over head. Not only was it circling
around us... it was towing a banner which read "Will You Marry
Me?" I turned to him and he was holding out the ring! -submitted

Week-Long Proposal
My boyfriend and I had been dating for a of couple months. We
had a miscarriage and were both very upset. However, he was
handling it better than I was. One Monday night, he told me that
on Friday he had something to ask me. I stayed wondering all
week. He would drop hints like, "You'll really like this," and
"I know something you don't know." This really bugged me. Friday
came around and he stayed on me all day about it. Around 8:00
p.m., he asked me if I was ready. I told him I was and he told
me to wait just a minute. I laid down on the bed waiting until
he came in with his jacket on. This didn’t make much sense,
because it was July. I sat Indian style on the edge of the bed
and he told me to close my eyes. I did. He said, "Ok, check this
out." I opened my eyes and he was on one knee with the ring in
the box in his hand. I started crying and said yes. We are
planning to be married on April 24, 2004. This will be exactly 1
year and 1 month after we started dating. -submitted by Rhonda
What's Your Perfect Date?
About 1 year into our relationship, my boyfriend asked me what
my idea of a perfect date was. I wanted to know his as well, so
we both wrote ours down on index cards. A year and a half later,
he blindfolded me and drove me somewhere far away. He then
helped me out of the car and took me into a room with romantic
music playing. When he took off the blindfold, I saw the most
beautiful thing. He had taken me on my idea of my 'perfect
date.' It was in a hotel overlooking the beach. He rented out
the ballroom, and had one single round table near the HUGE
picture window overlooking the ocean. The waves were crashing
against the rocks and the sun was setting. There were candles
around the room, and rose petals all over. On the table were my
two favorite roses, an Equadorian Pailine rose, and a red rose.
We had a candle light dinner with champagne. We then danced to
our song, and after that he got down on one knee and proposed!
