In grade two on Valentines Day, a boy with red hair gave me a candy heart. It said, “will you be mine’, so I did what any six year old girl would do, I ate it. Over the years, Randy, the boy with the red hair and I were friends and then started dating in High school. After graduation, we both went to medical school and continued dating.
Our final exams were coming up and Randy and I studied together at his place. When I got there, he had cooked a roast with all the trimmings. I was very impressed as I am usually the one cooking. After the meal, he cleared the table and brought in a heart cake that said, “Will you be mine”? In the very middle of the cake was a little box made out of Popsicle sticks. I opened it, and there was a gorgeous ring. We have been married for over 14 years, so the answer was definitely yes.

Lisa and I had been dating over 4 years and she was like part of my family. Everyone loved her and was thrilled when I said that I was going to pop the question at Christmas. Our family tradition was to open our gifts on Christmas Eve with Lisa and her parents here with us. My mother and I were talking and we came up with an idea on how I would propose. Mom knits beautiful sweaters. She said she would knit me one that said ‘Will You Marry Me Lisa?’ on the back.
On Christmas Eve, we had opened most of the gifts when my mom gave me my gift from her. It was the special sweater, which I put on and then turned around. Lisa read the back of the sweater and started to cry. After getting down on one knee, she made me the luckiest man in the world by saying yes.

Ever since I was a young girl, my dream was to have a unique proposal when my Knight in Shining Armor finally asked for my hand in marriage. Glenn and I have been married for almost 9 years and when I think back to the engagement day, I still smile.
For over six months, I had been making monkeys out of wool socks to sell at our church bazaar. Glenn helped me set up the booth with all the monkeys on the day of the sale and then went to look around. Suddenly, people were laughing, pointing, and in walked the biggest monkey I have ever seen. The monkey walked straight to my table and took me by the hand. Leading me to the middle of the room, the monkey then got down on one knee, held out a beautiful ring, and asked me to marry him. I screamed “yes”, pushing his mask back and kissing my love Glenn.

There are a million ways to make a marriage proposal go smoothly. Each person is unique and what pleases one may not please another, so we are left with a vast amount of choices. However, there are a few things that you should not do which is a much shorter list. I will review these things so you do not find yourself in hot water, or worse – not engaged!
We have all seen the movies where the man comes running into the train station and catches his girl just before she gets on board. The train is being held up, there is a huge crowd of people surrounding them, everyone is peering out the windows. Then he confesses his love for her and proposes to her at the train station. Before you get those tears streaming down your face realize that this also can cause embarassment. If she has not told you that she wants a public proposal then do not do it. Instead, sit down with her and make it an intimate, romantic night or event. Most women are going to want that special moment and you only have one shot at it, so do not screw it up.
When eating at that nice restaurant, do not place the ring in the food. You have no idea how many times people eat things without really looking at them. After all, when is the last time you inspected your burger before each bite? she can chip her teeth or even worse, swallow the ring. I do not know about you, but I think getting that ring back is going to be a pain in the butt.
The ballgame may seem great to have your picture up on the megatron, but again, this is a public place. Having you and her on the big screen for all sports fans to see draws alot of attention. If she has not mentioned anything like this before, then you should steer clear.

Have you ever wished you could whisk your love away to an exotic location, seemingly at the drop of a hat?
Can you imagine the look on their face when they find out what you are doing?
It is not as difficult as you think. It just takes a little preparation and planning.
Listed below are the basic steps you need to take to pull this off. Good luck.
Find Someplace To Go.
If you really want to make this surprise special, then find something that your partner would absolutely love to do or go to
but would never think you would make it happen. For me personally, I am a surf fanatic and I would absolutely love to
go to secluded beaches with monster waves.
Planning such a trip would be elaborate at the best of times, let alone as a surprise! When looking for a place to go, delve a little into your partner’s past and present. If they have a favorite band, are they touring anywhere at the time you want to leave? If they like a particular sport, maybe ice skating, baseball, tennis, etc. find out where they are being played and at what level. Do some research if it is something you are not familiar with to find the perfect place to go. How elaborate you are in the surprise is really up to you… and your budget of course.

Here’s a list of the Top 5 honeymoon destinations:
1) Hawaii
Hawaii is a beautiful and exotic cluster of islands each
offering a myriad of things to do.
2) Paris, France
Dine under the city lights, write sidewalk poetry, or visit
cultural landmarks. Paris has a little something for everyone,
especially for the romantic at heart.
3) Venice, Italy
Historical treasures abound in this city of canals and palaces.
Built on 117 small islands, Venice has some of the most
beautiful buildings in the world. It is easy to see why
romantics rate this city so highly.
4) The Bahamas
Linked to some of the world’s most mystical folklore, the city
of Atlantis and the Fountain of Youth to name a couple, the
Bahamas is truly a perfect destination for lovers.
5) Italy
An ideal climate, warm and gracious people, beautiful scenery,
exquisite cuisine all combine to make Italy a perfect
destination for any romantic vacation.

Here are a few considerations of romantic settings to pop the
question.

4) Beaches (under moonlight)
5) Nature trails
6) Mountain tops
6) On a lake
7) In a hot air balloon
Stay clear of places that have no romantic properties. E.g fast
food joints, night clubs, grocery stores.

Here are some of the most popular days of the year to get
engaged :
1) Valentine’s Day
2) Christmas
3) New Years
Although these are the most popular days of the year, for a
unique proposal you would probably want to pick a significant
time such as your partner’s birthday, anniversaries, your first
date, your first kiss, the first time you met etc.
If you want it to be a big surprise then choose just an ordinary
day or perhaps even during a romantic vacation.

If you’ve been thinking about marriage its likely that you’ve
also been thinking about whether its too soon. When is the best
time to propose?
The answer is : The best time to propose is when you’re ready!
What does is it mean to be ready?
I’ve recently married my girlfriend of 2 years. I was 29 years
old when I got married. Before I got married I had three serious
relationships that ended due to a variety of reasons. In all of
my serious relationships the thought of marriage crossed my mind
but it never quite felt as strong as when I met my wife.
Having been through three other serious relationships I could
tell with such deep conviction that she was the one for me. I
can’t quit explain it but as my dad put it ‘If she/he’s the one
you’ll know’.
If there is even the slightest doubt in your mind then I suggest
you take more time to get to know your partner better and only
propose when you’re 100% sure.
