Real Engagements

Looking for inspiration on the most romantic ways to propose? We have some original proposal ideas from real couples happy to share their marriage proposal photos or video to help you find the best ways to propose. Read the story behind each wedding proposal; how the happy couple met and fell in love, why he (or she!) decided that the time was right to get down on one knee to pop the question “will you marry me” and how he (or she) planned the proposal his partner had always dreamed about. Was your partner particularly creative or romantic when he proposed to you? We would love you to share your story with us and inspire future grooms (and brides!) to-be!
