If you have never been to one of these events, put it high on your romantic to-do list. I had an idea that my girlfriend was on to me, so I purposely waited till later in the night. This was creating a dilemma for me without my knowledge. The Orchestra played brilliantly through several memorable love songs that I purposely let go by. I wanted to keep her guessing on my intentions for the evening. As the evening advanced the choices for just the right song were becoming fewer and far between. (I would find out later that my girlfriend was thinking that the night had creative marriage proposals written all over it but had given up on this being the night after a period of time.) Five-hours and forty-five minutes after the dinner and dance began, the ideal song was finally played that fit creative marriage proposals perfectly. I had been sweating it myself for quite some time leading up to that song, regretting that I had allowed so many songs to go by earlier in the evening. As you will see though, this too was meant to be. Up to this point, they had played and sung several meaningful songs. But this one was the best of the night. The lyrics to this song were the perfect fit for one of those great and creative marriage proposals. The Song: "That's All". and a promise to be near each time you call. Where the only heart I own, is for you and you alone, That's All! That's All!
and a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall. And a love that's burning bright, to warm each winter night, That's All! That's All! There are those I am sure who have told you, they would give you the world for a toy. All I have are these arms to enfold you, and a love time will never destroy. If you're wondering what I'm asking in return dear, you'll be glad to know that my demands are small. Say it's me that you'll adore, for now and evermore, That's All! That's All!" I pulled my girlfriend to me and asked her during the song if she would marry me. (Since that's Jessica in the wedding dress above, I guess that means she said yes.) After the dance was over, we went to the members of the band and asked to purchase a copy of the song. We explained to them that we were another one of the many creative marriage proposals that have taken place at their performances over the years. They didn't have it! Worse, they didn't even know who originally recorded it. Shattered that we didn't have a momentum of our creative marriage proposal, we drove home, and my girlfriend (now my fiance') drove an extra hour after she left my house to get home herself. After she left, I started looking over a Nat King Cole CD that I had received that very day. Guess what song was #17? You guessed it! "That's All." I called my fiance' and recorded it on her answering machine for her to hear when she arrived home. It was perfect!

Since she has received no prior practice of the song, it is all she can do to maintain her composure and try to keep up with everyone else in the handbell choir.
It all makes sense to her when her boyfriend stands up at the end and asks for her hand in marriage. It was really meaningful to her that he considered creative marriage proposals important for their relationship.
It was a hot and sunny day, perfect for a trip to the beach. While there, the boyfriend has a friend write the words in sunblock on his back, "Will You Marry Me".
He then sun-bathes until he gets a good burn.
After a few hours he goes to visit his girlfriend with a bottle of lotion in his hand and asks her if she would please do him the favor of rubbing some lotion on his back.

My husband has always been the romantic type and he wanted to make our marriage proposal one to remember.
Every week we would always watch the show "Amazing Race" together and one night he decided that the perfect way to propose was through having our own Amazing Race. He started planing out every thing to the very last detail. He even got our entire small group from church in on it. I had no clue what was coming. After three months of preparation the day finally came.
Our entire small group lined up as if it was a real race. We started and our first clue led us to the place we met, then to our first kiss, to where he said I love you, then to our favorite park.
The entire time I had no clue that he was going to propose because he had every little detail worked out. At each location he would have a team either just finishing up the task and leaving or having a team arrive after we did.
When we arrived at the park and I saw the clues, I knew. He had rewind, a yield, and a fast-forward. (all things relating to the actual show) On the rewind he wrote about when we first met and started dating. On the yield he wrote about our relationship at that time. And on the fast-forward he left it blank. There was a card inside the fast-forward saying "I don't know what our life holds for us but I can't wait to find out what God has written for our lives"
He then proposed and gave me a new Bible with my new name on it. After several minutes our families and friends came out of their cars.
It was very romantic and certainly something we'll never forget.
