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?
August 26thHow long had you been dating previously?
Well, we dated for a year & 1/2 back in 2000... & then hadn't talked in 2 1/2 years! The beginning of July I had the opportunity to talk to him on the phone for an hour, and then not again 'til we finally saw each other the first of August. So I guess "technically" about 3 weeks... lol.How did your fiancé/fiancée pop the question?
He came to pick me up from work & I was wrapping things up & shutting down the office. We have tape over cords across part of the floor & he acted like he tripped.... LOL. I really thought he fell! When he got up he was on one knee holding a ring. :-)Did your fiancé/fiancée already have an engagement ring? What did it look like?
A diamond solitaire, princess cut in white gold & I love it.Any special details or other thoughts you'd like to share?
We're planning a small ceremony in December. He's in the army & will be home for 2 weeks. I haven't told my family yet!!! They are a little hesitant about this all & frankly, I just don't want their negativity right now! :-)>>read next marriage proposal story
