Marriage Proposal Stories

View more Love & Romance Ebooks here.

In a recent survey, over 80% of women (and men) who were proposed to said that the marriage proposal was "less romantic" than they had hoped for.

Ironically, most of the disappointed fiancees said that their beloved had spent over $300 on the marriage proposal (not counting the ring.) So it is obvious that limos and fancy dinners aren't what makes a proposal romantic and memorable.

If you are thinking of getting engaged, you probably want to do it right. You want it to be amazingly special. Something she or he will want to share with everyone.

Michael Webb is one of the world's leading experts on romance. He is often asked for advice on putting together an out of this world marriage proposal. He's got a number of tips to share with you. Here's the first one.

Marriage proposals don't have to cost a fortune. In fact, the best ones usually don't.

Michael ran a contest recently, searching for the world's most romantic proposal stories. Hundreds of newspapers, magazines, television and radio stations announced it. Over 7,300 entries poured in from around the world - 9% of the proposals were by females (yes, it is perfectly acceptable for a woman to pop the question - in fact, guys are really flattered when that happens).

You know what?

The grand prize winning marriage proposal cost the guy less than $20.

All he used was a piece of hardware, something from the bathroom and some creativity to put it together. What he did brought his girlfriend to tears and thunderous applause from everyone who witnessed it. After you read what he did and you see the photographs, you too will be amazed. Michael will also share with you how dozens of men (and women) popped the question very creatively using hay, Red Hots, SWAT teams, a courtroom, plywood, thread, gloves, concrete, lumber, chalk, Band-Aids and X-rays. These 101 winning stories (plus 18 super-creative bonus ideas) will inspire you and warm your heart.
Let me assure you this book is not like any other on the subject. Some books or websites claim to have creative marriage proposals and the extent of their "ideas" are (this is an actual idea from one) "Buy or rent a paddleboat for the two of you and propose on open water." In The Romantic's Guide to Popping the Question you won't get the same old stories of people popping the question on the Eiffel tower, in a hot air balloon, with a fortune cookie or having a waiter bring the ring out on a platter. Those ideas are nice, but certainly nothing worth writing a book about (although those types of ideas fill up all the other books of romance ideas I have read). One person wrote to me to tell me she cried at every story in the book. Remember, Michael sorted through over 7000 proposal stories and chose only the very best. You will not find such a large collection of creative ideas anywhere else -- trust me, I've looked for them. I've been to every website and read every book on marriage proposals and the ideas in these other books have been rather ordinary in comparison to those in The Romantic's Guide to Popping the Question.
Let me tell you about something else you will read in this book that NO other book has. Over two dozen of the VERY WORST marriage proposals. The guy who used a corpse to propose. Also the idiot who used a very foul smelling item and the guy who proposed in the absolutely most un-romantic place imaginable. You will read about the proposal that got someone fired and one that resulted in a trip to the emergency room. These 25 awful engagement stories will leave you laughing hysterically (and will keep you from making the same horrendous mistakes).

In this best-seller, THE ROMANTIC'S GUIDE TO POPPING THE QUESTION you will also learn:

* The worst time of day to get engaged
* How to make $500 from your proposal - it's pretty simple really
* What four words you should NEVER say during a proposal
* A little known secret into getting a free engagement ring - one that is usually far nicer than one you could afford to buy
* Where are three places you should NEVER pop the question
* How to get your proposal aired on television
* What are the 5 things you MUST do if you want to videotape your proposal
* How soon should you propose to give you the best odds of NOT getting a divorce

As a special bonus included are contact phone numbers and websites of dozens of companies where you can get supplies that will make your proposal the talk of the town. Also included are dozens of photographs of actual proposals or proposal set ups to show you how easy it is to create a world-class proposal without breaking the bank.
It is jam packed with ideas and tips that you won't find anywhere else. In fact this book will actually SAVE YOU MONEY. Most people ruin their proposals by spending too much money on it.
