The movies have an uncanny knack of convincing people that the whole business of a proposal needs to be nothing short of a theatrical experience worthy of being on the big screen itself. Well, the reality is that there are plenty of proposals out there that defy the status quo, and go way outside the box. Maybe these people's proposals will go on to inspire other romantic people out there to do things just a bit differently.

    Cartoon - Nicole Panteleakos @NicWritesBooks Replying to @karajmcdowell and @cathieshooter No, I proposed to her through Animal Crossing. For Xmas, I made her an album with all the love letters & silly poems I sent her through the game in 2020, then at the end I added new poems that told her how I love her & described a scavenger hunt on her island that led to a ring. %3D

    Font - KimTheBookAddict @kdmorehouse Replying to @cathieshooter Not for me, it was even better. Deep in the mountains in the middle of the night, under the brightest stars, sitting on the edge of a dock on beautiful lake. Snow capped Mountains tall around it. He spent 30 min. Telling all the reason he loved me, then asked

    Rectangle - Howard Schaap @HowardSchaap Replying to @cathieshooter We were fighting and it was either break up or get married, so I asked her to marry me. No knee. Or ring. Still living it down, 22 years later.

    Font - Kate Freitas @KateHolly10 Replying to @cathieshooter Yep. I opened Christmas gift - red tshirt that said "I love you" (I was perplexed where/why I would wear it.) I turned it around - back said "will you marry me?" and I turned to the side and he was on his knee. Then I drank beer all night with his mom staring at the ring.

    Font - Jess Keating @Jess_Keating Replying to @cathieshooter No knee. But he did wait until we were in Paris to have the conversation for extra romance points. He also waited until I said yes for the ring - not bc he thought l'd say no, but because he wanted me to be able to choose what l'd like.

    Font - FLASH GORDON @FlashGordon_21 Replying to @cathieshooter Ok, here's what happened. Before "the formal proposal" | gave my now wife a tooth brush, a bar of soap, and a towel and wash cloth. She got really pissed at me thinking I was questioning her hygiene when I was subtly asking her to move in with me. Bad idea

    Font - Jason Haas. @haazah Replying to @cathieshooter With my ex-wife, yes. On top of an extinct volcano near Albuquerque, NM. Three hawks flew overhead! That did not symbolize anything, it turned out. With my second wife: no engagement, just said we are going to get married. Happy ceremony and party at our house. :)

    Font - Shoshanna Gabriel @ShoshnnaGabriel Replying to @cathieshooter Yes! In fact, my husband proposed twice in the same few minutes for that reason! He popped the question over dinner, then stopped himself and said "Oh man, I forgot to get down on one knee! I'm just going to ask you again." And he got down on one knee |

    Font - Amethystina @wickedlilmis Replying to @cathieshooter He booked a honeymoon suite at a bed-and-breakfast in our town that looks like a castle. He had rose petals strewn throughout the place and on the bed. There was champagne chilling. It had a huge jetted bath tub and when we took a bath all of a sudden there was a ring in my hand!

    Font - darklogic is writing (WIP at 30k/120k) @darklogic2 Replying to @cathieshooter I got down on my knee in the sand just after sunset and opened a lit presentation case for the ring. In the post- sunset twilight, the brightest light was reflected right off the diamond I picked for her. Oh. She said yes. It's been an amazing nineteen years since.
