Well, I simply went to my local Hallmark and got a packet of wedding invitations and filled one out as needed. Made it out to be as an invite to our wedding with a date as what ever we come up with. Well at her parents house while we all where in the living room just sitting around talking, waited for the perfect moment of silence with no one talking and I pulled the card out and handed it to her. She then got all blushed and thought she was jus getting a random card for some reason and she opened it and when she look at it she paused with just the biggest look of surprise. Then I went down to one knee and pulled the ring out and asked. Then she looked at her parents and looked down at me with a yes! Since then she’s run off with my brother so…now just thinking of something to top that with my current girlfriend of almost two years..

In addition to how busy December can be, my wife and her twin share a birthday in December. Not a good time to get married, but a good time for a guy to sneak in an unexpected proposal. One sunny morning with crisp-fallen snow glittering everywhere, I had my then-girlfriend come over to spend the day with me and my daughters. Before going out, my daughters suggested singing Christmas carols to get us in a cheery mood. When unfamiliar lyrics had her giving a puzzled look to us all, she stopped singing to hear of family, and then marriage, and then Dad’s hope to have her as wife. The look of bewilderment became one of shock; aimed directly at me, now on one knee, and the boxed ring that suddenly appeared.
“Will you join this family as my wife?” was responded to with an overjoyed, sobbing “Yes, Yes, Yes”, and an unforgettable embrace. Plus, two young girls who worked hard to perfect the “wrong” lyrics and unsuspecting faces were rewarded with an opportunity to join in the next embrace.

My mother-in-law-to-be was taking me out to dinner. (Nothing abnormal about that since my fiance to be was out of town for three days…or so I thought). We were driving down some back roads and I looked out the window towards a large piece of acreage and there was a piano just sitting there with no one around. We turned the corner and there he was with a bouquet of flowers. His mom dropped me off and drove away. Eric took me into the field and played and sang the song that he wrote. Then he got down on one knee and proposed. When I said yes, the photographer and videographer came out of hiding. Eric had borrowed a dress and heels for me and I got dressed in the “limo van” then whisked me off to the Teahouse Restaurant in Stanley Park. This was all so surreal… the best part was hearing the story before I got there. Eric and his friends parked and unloaded the van on “0″ avenue which happens to be the border between Canada and the States and a favorite place of some drug smugglers. Well, as soon as he started unloading the piano 2 cop cars from the Canadian side and 3 cop cars from the US side surrounded them. They just laughed and called it in to tell the station all about it when they searched Eric and only found a diamond ring in his sock.

Friday evening I told her that I would be home late because my company was having its Christmas party. Around 8:00 I called to ask her to call in a food order for pick up in about 10 minutes, I wanted her to be preoccupied. I was really waiting outside the house. I minute or two later I knocked very lightly on the door. When she opened the door there was a puppy sitting on the porch with a leash hanging off of her. She assumed that someone in the neighborhood had lost their puppy, so she slowly grabbed the puppy’s leash to look for a tag on her collar. She didn’t find a tag, but she did find a diamond ring. I then came out from beside the house, got down on one knee and asked her to marry me. With a puppy that cute, and a ring that beautiful how could she say anything but yes?

My future wife is not a get-down-on-your-knee kind of gal. She even told me that if I did propose to her on one knee, she’d say no. So I had to come up with something pretty unique.
There are 3 things precious to her. The first being her family, the second being her cottage and the third, her love for the outdoors. And I knew I had to incorporate all three if I was going to do this properly.
So I bought the ring, bought a beautiful hard cover poetry book and set about carving a square hole 3/4 of the way into the pages of the book so that the ring box sat perfectly hidden amongst the poems. I then wrote her a poem on the inside front cover of the book and then wrapped it up.
I planned the proposal for a long weekend in August up at her cottage knowing that many of her family would be around. It took a few tries but I eventually got her by herself on a walk and I took her to a beautiful spot in the forest, a little off the beaten road and sat her down on a moss covered, fallen tree. I then handed her the book and asked her read the poem on the inside cover. I then asked her to read a 2nd poem I had book-marked for her…which when she opened the book…saw the ring box! I guess I proposed properly because she said Yes and now we’re getting married next fall.

My girlfriend Jennifer and I knew we were going to get married. We even went shopping for rings. We found her perfect ring, and it was on sale, but I didn’t want to buy it right then and there. I wanted it to be a surprise. Valentine’s Day was a few days away and I knew that was the day to surprise her. We talked with the salesman for a bit and he had some doubts about having it in time for Valentine’s Day, so Jennifer looked a little disappointed. The next day, I went back to the store and bought the ring. I couldn’t have it sized because it wouldn’t be ready in time. So now that I had the ring, I needed to think of a good way to propose. I cannot keep secrets to save my life, and when it comes to gifts, I always let something slip. So Valentine’s Day came and I went to school with Jennifer as always, but I made sure that I drove today. While she was in class, I went to the mall to search for something to do with the ring. I walked past a Godiva store and it hit me! I saw these red hear boxes that you could pick your own chocolates to fill. I filled the box up and decided I was going to hide the ring in the chocolate box! I asked the people at the Godiva shop if that had anything to hold the ring with, and to no surprise they didn’t. I ended up getting a jewelry box from one of the stores and just used the foam holder. We got home and I gave her the gift. She looked a little disappointed, I think she was expecting the ring itself. She read the card and didn’t open the box. I told her I picked the chocolates out myself and that she should try one. Reluctantly, she finally opened the box and her face lit up in the blink of an eye. She immediately started crying and I knew she’d be bragging about me for a long time to come.

I wanted to make my proposal different so I hid the engagement ring under her pillow and when she woke up in the morning to check the ‘lump’ under her head, she found the ring (in the box) and instant waterworks! Of course she said yes.

This past January, the two of us (Megan and Jared) were discussing going to Florida over Spring Break with her family. One day she told me that she had a dream that I proposed to her on the beach while we were in Florida. About two weeks later, we decided to go with her family. I had been thinking a good time to propose but wanted it to be perfect and this opened the door for me. I asked her dad the day they left for Florida. I told Meg that I wanted just the two of us to go out one night while we were there. That Friday night, April 4, 2008, we rode the trolley to a restaurant called the Daiquiri Deck to eat. Then We rode back to the beach to watch the sunset. We watched it and then went for a walk on the beach. I told her how much she meant to me and that there was no other place I would rather be at that moment. I then got down on one knee, in the sand, and asked her to marry me. She froze, cried and then said yes. She said she was not expecting it to happen in Florida but was glad that it happened. She loved the ring and every aspect of the evening. I couldn’t of asked for a better night. The story has already been repeated several times by both of us to friends begging for the details.
