Marriage Proposal Ideas

My boyfriend and I were having a birthday party for my 5-year-old daughter.  He brought his two young kids too because we were going to do magic tricks and the kids loves that.  There were twelve children there and after playing games, opening presents and eating hotdogs, they were ready for the magic show.

Leon and I started putting on the magic show.  It started with me making coins disappear and reappear behind someone’s ear.  After making a stuffed rabbit turn into a frog, it was Leon’s turn to do magic.  He needed three assistants to help with his magic trick so my daughter and his two went up.  He had them turn around with their backs to all of us.  When they turned around, they held signs that read ‘Marry Me Please’.  I screamed yes and everyone started hugging and crying.  I’ll never forget that magic show.

Both John and I had known for years that one day we would be married and spend our lives together. We were invited to a Halloween party and I was going to be a princess, and John was my prince.  I love sewing and said that I would make the costumes. 

On the night of the party, John came over to get ready to go.  What he didn’t know was that I had already told all our friends I was going to propose to John at the party.  The lights were turned low and we were dancing to a slow song when I got down on one knee and asked John to marry me.   My best friend Deb handed me a red heart pillow I had made with a ring for John attached.  When he said yes, I put the ring on his finger.  John still loves to tell our kids this story even after 16 years. 

Fred lives in Kentucky and I live in a small town in Tennessee.  We had a long distance love affair going on until work transferred me to Kentucky a few months ago.  It is wonderful living so close together after all this time. 

One of our favorite places to go is the horse races.  Fred picked me up on my birthday and we went to a very nice restaurant for dinner and then headed for the track.

Fred bought a ticket for a draw there and said it was for me.   At the end of the fourth race, they called my name saying I had won and go to the winners circle.  When Fred and I got there, they handed me a dozen roses.  I was so surprised but it was nothing compared to the next one.  Fred asked me to marry him.  I said yes and the crowd cheered.  

I got a phone call from my boyfriend’s mother saying that Nick had an accident while playing hockey with his friends. They took him to St. Josephs Hospital and she was with him now. Nick was fine other than a broken leg, which they were putting in a cast. I wanted to go to the Hospital but his mom said no. They would be finished with him shortly and I was to meet them at his apartment in an hour.

It is a 45-minute drive from my place so I left immediately. When I got to Nicks, the place was in darkness so I let myself in. I was shocked when he was sitting on the sofa, his leg in a cast with candles burning and a glass of wine for each of us. He asked me to lift his leg and put a cushion under it. When I lifted his leg, the fake cast fell off and written on his leg was would I marry him? I said yes and all of our families that were hiding came out to congratulate us.

I was with a group of my friends and we were walking around the Farmers Market in our small town of Huntsville, Indiana.  We were buying some apples and this great looking guy walked over and asked me if I liked fruit?  I smiled and said yes and he handed me a wax apple and told me it would last forever.  We talked most of the day and then he asked for my phone number.  Allan called and we started dating.

On the 5-year anniversary of when we met, Allan phoned and said to meet him at the Farmers Market.  We met at the apple vendor’s cart and started picking a few apples, when Allan held one up and said that it looked good.  I was shocked because it was another wax apple, which he then pulled apart, took the ring out and asked me to marry him.  That was 45 years ago so a wax apple does last forever.
