i was 28 when i proposed and we got married a little less than a year later. A friend of mine had proposed to his girl earlier that same year, and he had taken her up to Montreal for the weekend at a fancy hotel and everything, so felt like the pressure was on.
i anguished about it for a while and then inspiration struck. i went to a used book store and bought an old Oxford English dictionary. Then i glued enough of the back pages together that it would be the height of the ring box, and cut out a space for it. Then across the course of a few pages, which i bookmarked with ribbons, i told a brief version of our story together in fairy tale fashion. The last bookmark was the ring box. On the front and spine i scraped off the Oxford title and stenciled on "You & Me" (yes, i know, corny).
i decided to give it to her at our favorite fancy Italian restaurant. So after we had eaten the main course i went out to the car and got the book. i had told her i had something for her and she later told me she was pretty sure i was going to propose, but when she saw the book, she was all disappointed. So she turns to the page with the ring box, i take it out and start proposing. In the middle of it, our waiter walks to our table, and not realizing what was going on, starts to ask us about dessert. He looks down and goes "Oh shit" and hurriedly walks away. He came back very apologetic and with a couple glasses of free champagne.
She, of course, still has the book (though the ring is lost somewhere in our house).

1. thread the ring onto the stem of a rose
2. insert stem into your anus and put pants back on
3. act very upset and tell your girl you were raped in an alley by burly men. start crying. ask her to check for damage.
4. pull down pants, bend over, and propose.surprise!

New Years Eve 1999 (got that sounds so long ago). We had a party planned with our closest friends. I hadn’t told anyone and we had never discussed marriage. I was planning to pop the question on midnight. Midnight strikes and she starts running round, making sure our guests had drinks and wishing them Happy New Year, kissing everybody – basically just staying away from me.
The moment was lost, I wasn’t sure what to do. I contemplated just not asking – it was very disappointing. About an hour or so later, I was washing glasses in the kitchen by myself and she came in. I thought it was now or never and popped the question with sudsy arms. It kind of illustrates our relationship perfectly.

I proposed in the form of a book. The first several months of our relationship was long distance, and there had been many emails going back & forth as we got to know each other—some funny and some more serious. I sifted through all of them and parsed it down to about 40 that tracked the growth of our relationship. I arranged and edited them in book form, with simple illustrations scattered throughout that represent our personalities, interests and events in our lives. My wife was living in Madison, WI at the time, so I titled in The Madison Letters. I ran out of money on the printing, so rather than binding it became a loose stack of 80# cards held together with a bellyband. I bought a lacquered rosewood box and presented it to my wife one night after an awesome romantic dinner out. We were sitting on my parents' back porch, which overlooks a state park. Stars were out. I told her I had something to show her, and came back with the box. At first she didn't know what it was, but then started reading emails. I said there'd be time for that later, but that she should skip to the last letter, which wasn't an email but rather a proposal that I'd written. I read it to her as I got down on both knees and asked her to spend the rest of her life with me. She said yes before I could finish the question. She wouldn't stop hugging/kissing me, and I was like "um, I have something else to give you that involved less work but more money..." She was so excited she had forgotten that a ring usually appears at this point :)
Two years later, we have a beautiful baby boy and couldn't be happier.
Good Providence to you, and God bless.
