Wedding Proposal Stories - It Must Have Been Love at First Sight

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 wedding 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 wedding 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 wedding proposal?

July 1st, 2004

How long had you been dating previously?

2 weeks and 4 days ;)

How did your fiancé/fiancée pop the question?

It was Canada Day, and it really came out of the blue for him, as well as me. His exact words were, "So, do you wanna get married next Saturday?"

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

Nope, no ring. It was kind of a last minute thing I think.

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

It was the smallest wedding, took place on July 10th. This past week has been the best of my life.
