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.
That means Annie Hall, An Affair To Remember and From Here to Eternity won't make the cut, leaving room for some of our favorites like In The Mood For Love, Amelie and Edward Scissorhands.
Of course, no list will make everyone happy: We never cared for When Harry Met Sally... or Moulin Rouge, and a quick perusal of the comments section shows a lot of people are furious The Notebook was left off!
What do you think? Do they nail it? What would top your list?
With The Proposal soooooo last month, and The Time Traveler's Wife weeks away (we're just ignoring useless-looking The Ugly Truth, in spite of the fact that we like Gerard Butler), our unquenchable thirst for romance has but one new film in its sights: (500) Days Of Summer.
It looks a little too Garden State-style overly precious for our usual tastes, but we're willing to give it a shot. We like Zooey Deschanel, and we really like Joseph Gordon-Levitt. So why not, right?
Do you plan to get your rom-com fix with (500) Days of Summer this weekend?
Not only was it easily the #1 movie of the weekend, opening at a huge $34+ million, but was also the best opening weekend rom-com queen Sandra Bullock has ever had!
Feel as though your hubby-to-be couldn't be more different from you? That may be cause to celebrate: Brazilian researchers may have discovered a genetic explanation for opposites attracting!
90 married couples were compared to 152 randomly-generated couples for differences in couples' major histocompatibility complex (MHC), a genetic region found in most vertebrates that is related to the immune system. They found that there were greater differences in the real couples than the virtual couples.
Professor Maria da Graca Bicalho explains, "If MHC genes did not influence mate selection, we would have expected to see similar results from both sets of couples. But we found that the real partners had significantly more MHC dissimilarities than we could have expected to find simply by chance."

Another day, another "answer" to a lifetime of love!
It can seem as though everybody has an opinion on how to keep romance alive over the long haul, but if you read them as common sense reminders, rather than the one-and-only answer, then they may serve you well. We can all take others for granted at times, and we can all afford to take stock of how we treat each other.
Take this article, for example: 5 Easy Ways to Serve Your Relationship. It won't be news to you to 'love him as he is, not as you want him to be,' but it may be worth your time to remind yourself of it. And a few other nuggets worth keeping in mind, too.
The OurWeddingDay team is surrounded by weddings pretty much all day. From brides to vendors to planning and the countless stories collected, we see a lot of romance. Whether it be people on our own team getting engaged (congrats Ty!) or just taking time out of our day every once in a while to look at photos of couples in love, we can't quite seem to help ourselves.
With the year closing out we wanted to take a couple of moments to take a look at presidents, future and past, and their wives... in touching moments. It is certainly nice to see that no matter what is going on with the country and the rest of the world that there is always a little bit of time for love.
As you gather with your fiances and newlywed-husbands this holiday season to give thanks and cherish those special family traditions, we encourage you to set aside some free time and cuddle up with the latest edition of Chicken Soup for the Soul - Happily Ever After. This poignant collection of short stories and letters will truly warm your soul, if not melt your heart. With more than 100 personal stories of love, from heartbreak to triumph, the Happily Ever After series is a practical, yet romantic read just in time for couples starting their own journeys toward happliy ever after...
It's not everyday that we're willing to take romantic advice from a nine-year-old. But when said nine-year-old is as "experienced", nay adorable, as Alec Greven, it's just too hard to resist.
Greven, the author of the newly released book How to Talk to Girls, littered his new how-to book with lots of handy tips, for both boys and (very immature) men. Perhaps our favorite bit is when Greven advises boys to "comb your hair and don't wear sweats," because who doesn't like a man who has put in a bit of effort into his look?
