We recently participated in the 94 Country Bridal Fair that took place at the Ramada Inn in Topeka where we spoke with too many future brides, grooms, in-laws, parents to count. I tried to ask each bride the same question: How did your future husband propose? Over the years, I have heard so many incredibly romantic stories. Here are a few of my favorites:
1) He burned "Will you marry me" on a hill and took me horseback riding. As we came up over a hill, I saw it. (What will he do for their first anniversary?)
2) It was around Halloween. We like to carve jack-o-lanterns each year. He carved "Marry me" into a pumpkin. (I love it!)
3) Two future brides told me their proposals took place on a carriage ride on the Plaza in Kansas City. (How romantic!)
4) He sent me on a treasure hunt. He left clues at each location and had someone there to make sure I got the clues right. At the end, he was wrapped up in a box. He (and the proposal) were the prize!
5) He sent me on a treasure hunt. We ended up at the gazebo at Shawnee Lake. It was raining, and I was a little grumpy for having to be out in the rain. When we got to the gazebo, he kneeled down on one knee and proposed.
If any of you have romantic proposal stories to share, I'd invite you to share them!
