Is This The Most Romantic Proposal Ever?

Aug07

This may be one of the most adorable marriage proposals we've seen to date... and trust us, we've seen a lot. Nathan and his friends found a nearby forest with a grove surrounded by trees. During the day, they set up over 200 battery-powered tea lights and struck then all along the trees.

Later that night, Nathan met Katie on the beach to go for a walk. As they approached the woods Nathan tied his sweater over Katie's eyes and brought her to the lit grove. What is even sweeter is that once he uncovered Katie's eyes Nathan stumbled over his proposal because he was so nervous, and Katie simply kept nodding her head yes unable to speak.

Check out both sides of the story here. Ahh romance!

I think this was a very romatic way of proposing. I would have loved to walk into a lite grove while being proposed to. Mine was pretty special in itself, our entire families and friends were there. I just thought I would leave a comment stating how beautiful of an idea this was.

Enjoy your new lives together and I wish happiness for the both of you!

Are you kidding me? I mean yes it was a sweet gesture, but the most romantic to this day I DONT THINK SO! He didn't even propose and she didnt Say yes. Romatic would have been for him to fight his nerves and open his mouth so she could hear the words WILL YOU MARRY ME come out. Anyway cogratulations on your non-verbal engagement. I hope your nerves dont cause you to keep secrets from your wife since you can't talk when you get nervous.

Eh... very sweet, yes. Most romantic? No way. When my fiance proposed to me, it probably wasn't THE most romantic proposal ever, but it was still way better than this. I think in order to be truly romantic it has to be meaningful - something significant to the couple. I see no evidence of that here. So - while it was very sweet, and I tip my hat to Nathan for being creative - I've heard better.

Yeah, I'm not real sure this proposal "takes the cake" for me either. However, everyone has her own story. Each romantic and sentimental. (I'm pretty positive the sweater-tied-across-the-face was neither of those, but each to their own!) In this situation, I'm sure I'd find the proposal "cute" if I was the one being asked to say yes. It truely is wonderful that they found joy in it, and I, for one, will rejoice with them!

This proposal was sweet and she will remember it for the rest of her life. i know i will mine. i had gotten off of work and went to spend some time with him and his family. on the way home we stop by our favorite spot, one we come to a lot when we want to be by ourselves and just talk. it's called Lover's Leap and since we were there at night you could look off into the valley and see the city lights. well, after lissoning to romantic music he started telling me how much i mean to him and he sings our song "Earth Angel" to me gets down on one knee and asks me to take this leap of faith with him. i could have stayed their forever! and i was still in my work uniform lol!

I think almost every girl would like to have a romantic propose. And so do I. As I had dreamed of being the most beautiful bride in the world since I was a little girl, I wished I could have the romantic propose also. For thousands of hundreds of times, I dreamed about the proposal to me. My Prince Charming should wear the white suit with excellent workmanship. He would walk towards me with a smile on his face, and then he shows me the ring. My eyes would be nearly blinded by the shining diamond and the place for proposal should be the Hawaii or at least the Caribbean beach in the sunset. Or my Prince Charming should bring me to a high class restaurant, in which lots of well dressed ladies and gentlemen would be the witnesses of our love. He should put the ring in the champion or in my dessert. The band would play romantic songs, such as The First Time When I Saw Your Face or Can You Feel Love Tonight, while he proposes to me. These scenes are all in old style, but I love them just like girls want to have wedding in Plaza.
All my dreams about proposal are romantic and beautiful. But my boyfriend ruined everything. I moved into his apartment three months after our first date. I love him but I did not think about marry him so quickly so I did not tell him anything about my dream. I thought it might give him so pressure. But one day, when we attend a party together in his hometown, the host gave me a rubber wristband with a ring connected to it and it printed “Would you marry me?” As soon as I received the ring, he asked me through microphone on the stage. The location was in a farm and the theme for that party was about propagation of farm animals. It was far away from my dream! I love him so I accept his proposal, but the disappointment would company with me for my whole life.
