Suprise Proposal

So I asked Talia if she wanted to come down to a particular cafe with me since my friend and his band would be performing. She agreed, and we made sure to get front row seats. The band was supposed to come on at 9:00 p.m., and although the patrons were filing in, my friend "Andy" was nowhere to be found. I told Talia to sit tight -- I was going to look for Andy.
I went into the office of the cafe, grabbed my guitar which had been strategically planted there earlier that afternoon, and walked on stage. I leaned towards the microphone and said, "How are you guys doing? My name is Richard, and I am going to sing you guys a song about my girlfriend Talia."
Now if I was a girl and my boyfriend did this, I think I would have seen the set up immediately. Not my Talia! She just smiled, and bopped to the beat of my song unknowingly, until the final verse when I sang:
Getting to know you has been so much fun,And I've come to realize that you are the one. For the last few months all I've heard is one thing, "Richie when am I going to get my diamond ring?" Talia Devora you mean so much to meTalia Devora, will you marry me?
I got down on my knees and presented her the ring. She said yes, to both me and the ring, and I got back on stage to finish the song.
There is an unequaled excitement about calling up your mother, father, grandparent or friend to say, "I'm engaged." Talia would usually have some sort of cute preparatory remark like, "I hope you are sitting down because I have some news - we're engaged!"
I preferred what I call the "cardiac arrest approach" which was something like, "How's it going Dad? By the way, I'm engaged."

The excitement that Talia and I shared in announcing our engagement and celebrating with friends and family for the first month or so was probably the most memorable moment of my life (thus far). The remaining three months before the wedding definitely were not. (Yes you did read that right - four months in between engagement and wedding. We religious people don't like to waste any time.)

FakeoutSSS

I have a friend who wanted to put real value in the Big Suprise. He wanted to fake her out so he keep taking her to nice restraunts and then after a bunch he said "I have to ask you something" and he reached in his pocket and she thought it was going to be the ring and he pulled out a tissue and blows his nose.

She ran to the bathroom and cried.

He eventually had a typical ending with a nice restraunt, horsebuggy ride central park and more water works.

Well done!

Welcome!

Some of you may know the feeling...when your heart stops beating as he gets down on one knee. But then you realize that it is a "fake-out" as you try to calm yourself. After all, its only been seven dates!

But I'm sure there are plenty of you that have experienced that wonderful moment of utter joy and knowledge that the person you will spend the rest of your life with has just committed himself to you forever.

For those of us hopeless-romantics who love to read about the joyous bliss in others, this web site is here to give us the "aaaaaw" we would be whispering if we would be there at that special moment.

So in between glances at the fine jewelry he spent his hard earned money (i.e. parents) on, post your story for the rest of us to enjoy....and if we are lucky, learn from.
