In Cuba, Brendan had been planning to propose the first night at a fondue restaurant. There was a mariachi band playing that he wanted to incorporate into the proposal but because of how busy the restaurant was, he wasn't able to do it.

So, the day it happened was pretty much the definition of a normal day for us. It was a Monday night, and I had just gotten off work. He was already home, in his P.Js, with the TV on, ready for us to watch our show. I popped some frozen dinners into the microwave and we settled down to watch. Usually I can tell when there's something on his mind, but tonight I didn't sense there was anything different about him.

On July 2, 2011 I decided to take my family on a last minute get away. We traveled over to Myrtle Beach, S.C. My fiance and I had just found out that we where expecting our second child and that we where about 3 1/2 months pregnant. After an awesome time of vacationing we had to end it and head back home. Before leaving we stopped to Ruby Tuesday to have lunch and my entire family was present. As we entered and where being seated I told the waitress to never bring my drink.

The idea that a couple’s parents should cover the entire expense of their wedding has become an old fashioned one, and many couples, especially if they are a little older or are arranging their second marriage, tend to pay a large portion of the wedding costs themselves. When parents do make a contribution, it is often in the form of a fixed sum that the couple can spend as they wish.

While I was living in Dominica during the first two years of med school, I decided to start learning how to dance salsa. Dancing salsa is one of the things Alana is most passionate about. For years she had tried to make me learn with her, as she would always tell me that there is no other person she would rather dance with than me. But not only could I not get it, I didn’t care for it.

Hi. My name is Destinee and I am 18 years old. My fiancé’s name is Casey and we are also 18. We've known each other for about four years and have liked each other about that long but remained best friends until new years of 2011, when he asked my parents (on a ride home from a family holiday party) if he could ''court me'' ♥ and we became officially together. This Christmas, I went over to his grandparent’s house for Christmas Day.

When you propose to your girlfriend is should be a truly special moment that the two of you will be able to reminisce happily about for the rest of your lives. Many men want to make their proposal unique, and the key to this is to make it personal and meaningful to the two of you. Of course you could propose over champagne and oysters in a big fancy hotel on Valentine’s Day, but if that’s not your usual style then it could just feel uncomfortable rather than wildly romantic.

This past June on our vacation in Honduras, it began as the most horrible day I'd ever experienced. Jay and I woke early and went on a hike through the jungle. It was 95 degrees and humid, when we returned, we jumped in the pool to cool off. All of a sudden, we see a man walk out through the trees next door (just 10 yards from us) and shoot a gun into the air three times -- POW POW POW.

It was the day before my birthday, and I had just got in from work and was trying to get ready but feeling frustrated that I wasn't going to look good, and was basically having a strop!! Mike (the now fiance) told me to go an open my presents since he was in work at 8 am the next day and I wouldnt get them until later in the day.

Fast forward to today, if you were to ever walk in our front door you would see the television on ESPN or QVC depending on who had control of the remote. I literally fall asleep to QVC on in the background each and every night. Once I started thinking of proposing to Eleanor, I realized I wanted it to be original and that is when I thought how meaningful it would be if I did something involving QVC.

When I was 10 years old, I met the most adorable little boy. We were neighbors. He was quite taken with me, though I didn't know it at the time. We played together, and one day as I shared my lunch with him, we also shared a kiss. You know, the peck on the lips that makes little girls giggle. I moved away, and only saw this young man once more in passing when we about 24 years old.

Marianne arrives home to find a romantic setting created by her boyfriend Brandon. The fireplace was going, candles burning, rose petals on the floor, and a set of nested boxes for her to open. The final box is an empty engagement ring box which is the cue for Brandon to enter and pop the question. Fortunately, the whole thing is captured for us all to enjoy. Would be proposers, take notes....

Starting in September of 2011, Hayden had told me we had to attend a Christmas Party of one of his clients on December 17th. He told me that it was going to be a 'Winter Wonderland' party and their house. He built up this party like it was going to be the party of the century, and i was very excited about it.

It was Christmas Day 2010 and My family and I decided to celebrate at My house this year. Me and Corey lived in a small 2 bedroom apt. so you can imagine how cramped it was. Luckily my sister lived right next door so we were able to use her oven to help cook our Christmas Day dinner.

Many men put a huge amount of thought into the location and the timing of their proposal but forget to prepare anything to say when they ask that all important question.

Video of a surprised engagement and wedding. The guy gathered information through conversation for over a year. He'd ask questions about what she wanted at her wedding, who she wanted to be there, etc. Then, he brought it all together and gave her a surprise proposal and instant wedding when his bride-to-be thought she was attending a retirement party with a friend. I'm sure, the instant wedding thing isn't for everyone, but it was perfect for this couple and resulted in this heart warming video

The video tells the story better than I do, but essentially, I wrote a song for my (now) fiancee, Cindy, made a video for her, and used it to propose to her in front of our friends in New Jersey.
