Proposal story competition WINNER

Unfortunately like all competitions, there can only be one winner.


This story really made me laugh, and is so sweet too!


"To give a bit of background I chatted Iain up on a night out 9 years ago. We dated for a month and it fizzled out and we ended up with other partners, got back together 3 years ago, and had our little girl June 2011, bought a wonderful family home in December and found out we're expecting again on Iain's 30th in January.


This year has been pretty epic and I decided to propose! (my mum proposed to my dad 24 years ago).


So me and Casey got our art attack on - we made a card asking daddy to marry mummy and presented that to him this morning with a cup of tea!
He said yes!


:) xx "

Well done Kimberly (and Casey!)

Proposal story competition - runner up #3!

Chris & Kathryn's story is so adorable!


"Chris and Kathryn lived 3000 miles apart--he in Edinburgh, she in New Hampshire. While Kathryn was in the UK for a holiday to visit, Chris planned to propose during a weekend trip to Paris. How romantic!

Chris planned to pick up the ring from an antique shop in Battle, East Sussex and convinced Kathryn that a historical visit to the Battle of Hastings battlefield (where William the Conqueror defeated Harold II in 1066) would be a fantastic way to spend a Saturday. At the end of their educational tour, Kathryn and Chris found a place to rest their feet, which turned out to have a perfect view of the ancient latrines. 

Pretending he desperately needed to find a toilet, Chris ran off to the antique jeweler down the road and picked up the ring. Now he would just have to wait until they reached Paris to propose. Or so he thought.

Upon his return to Kathryn, Chris was green and sweating. The ring in his pocket was making him mighty nervous. Concerned Chris was suffering from food poisoning, Kathryn began to fuss over him. Instead of admitting he had eaten some dodgy chicken at lunch, as she had expected, Chris blurted out: "I love you! I want to spend my life with you! Will you marry me!" Kathryn, of course, said yes. It didn't matter whether he proposed in Paris or on near some smelly latrines on an ancient battlefield, Chris was the one for her. "

Proposal story competition - runner up #2!

Lisa is another runner-up!

"Here's the story of how my wonderful husband Mark proposed to me.


It was our 1 year anniversary, he planned a lovely night in as I had said, if I was ever getting engaged, I wanted to do it in private, didn't at the time like being the centre of attention.  He had planned a three course dinner in his mum's house (at the time, we both lived with our parents), which consisted of his home-made chicken noodle soup, macaroni cheese and yummy chocolate fudge cake.


We had dinner whilst listening to a love album he'd bought especially for the night.  After dinner, he cleared away all the plates then when we sat down all snuggled up on the couch, he told me how much he loved me and how all he wanted to do was spend the rest of his life with me.  He then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him, which I said "yes" to immediately and 6 years later, after saving, we finally got married on the 28th May 2011."
