Marriage Proposal Stories - After five years and two kids, it's time

A Beautiful Birthday Present

By Nina Callaway, About.com

There are few phrases in the English language that are more sweated over or rehearsed than "will you marry me?" People who are about to make marriage proposals are often a crazy bunch, in need of hand-holding and calming measures. If you're sweating over your own marriage proposal, try reading these marriage proposal stories for inspiration and company. Or, if you're a romantic like I am, read them just because – regardless of how soon or recent your own marriage proposal might be.

When was the marriage proposal?

May 25th, 2004

How long had you been dating previously?

5years (we have 2 kids)

How did your fiancé/fiancée pop the question?

For my birthday =)

Did your fiancé/fiancée already have an engagement ring? What did it look like?

Yes, it's 3 princess cut diamonds on a 14kt white gold band.

Any special details or other thoughts you'd like to share?

I'm just really excited. After 5 years and 2 kids we are finally getting married. It couldn't be more right and I couldn't be more happy.
