An Airplane Full of Roses
A young man boarded a plane for Dallas with a huge armful of beautiful red roses. He was on his way to ask the love of his life to marry him.
As he walked down the airplane aisle, he handed each passenger a rose and showed them a picture of his fiance-to-be who would be meeting him at the gate.
At his request, as each passenger left the plane upon landing they walked up to the surprised and curious young woman and handed her a rose with a word or two of good wishes. When her arms were full of roses the passengers began laying the rest of them around her feet.
With this fellow passengers gathered in a semi-circle around her, all beaming with pleasure, the young man walked up to his love, knelt on one knee, presented her with a beautiful diamond ring, and asked her to be his wife.
Horse Sense
My boyfriend Carl and I had been dating for several years when we decided it was time for us to get married. It was pretty cut and dry, not a lot of romance or discussion. We didn't want to spend a lot of money on a ring because we were saving to buy some property where we could have a couple of horses, a dream both of us had since childhood.
We always reserved our Saturday mornings for horseback riding at a friend's ranch, and one Saturday Carl told me to meet him extra early so we could watch the sun come up from our favorite spot.
We started our ride when it was still dark, but both of us were wide awake and looking forward to the ride. I had baked fresh cinnamon rolls the night before and brought them along with a thermos of hot coffee. The plan was to ride up into the mountains as it got light and stop in time to watch the glorious sunrise over the pasture down below.
As we rode up the trail, Carl reached over and touched my arms so tenderly it made me want to cry. I just love that man so much it hurts! I turned to smile at him and saw that he was holding a little box out toward me. We walked our horses off to the side of the trail, and I opened the box to find a precious gold ring with little diamonds all across the top. It was the most beautiful ring I had ever seen.
"Carl," I whispered, "I thought we weren't going to do this."
Carl reached over and slipped the ring on my finger as my eyes filled with tears.
"Joanne, I love you so much that I want every single person who sees you to notice that you have a ring on your finger and know that our love for each other is a special thing for us. That ring is nothing fancy, but the depth of love it carries is beyond measure. Will you be my wife?"
What a special moment in my life. That was fifteen years ago, and I'm reminded of it every time we ride our horses up that trail to watch the sunrise together.
Name that Tune
Le Francais is one of the finest restaurants in the city, very elegant, very posh, the perfect place for Michael to ask Melinda to spend the rest of her life with him.
Two weeks before popping the "big question" he met with the maitre d' of Le Francais and planned out every detail of the special evening.
The night finally arrived, and as Michael and Melinda walked into the restaurant, the maitre d' extended his hand, greeted them warmly, and immediately showed them to their special table which was adorned with beautiful flowers and exquisite tableware.
First they were served a glass of Melinda's favorite Chardonnay, then came escargot, then the soup, salad, entree, dinner wine, dessert, and after-dinner cordial...all pre-ordered by Michael, all of Melinda's favorites.
As they sipped their cordials, the waitstaff gathered to form a semi-circle around the table, and the strolling violinist came over and played "Isn't it Romantic." Michael rose from the table, knelt before Melinda, and slid a dazzling diamond ring onto her finger as he said, "Will you marry me, Melinda?"
The moment she said "Yes," the champagne corks popped all over the restaurant, and everyone held up their glasses in a toast to the happy couple.
Only in the Movies
Bob and Karen spent most Saturday evenings watching old movies together at her apartment, but tonight Bob made sure things would be a bit different. With the help of a friend, Bob copied Karen's favorite classic love story, filmed himself proposing to her, and then inserted it into the video at the appropriate spot.
As they sat curled up on the couch with popcorn and tissues, the classic tale of love and romance had Karen in tears by mid-story. Love found, then love lost, and then finally the wonderful moment when the woman's true love gets down on one knee to swear his everlasting love and ask her to marry him...and suddently there on the screen was Bob on bended knee, holding out a beauituful diamond ring, and asking Karen to be his wife.
Karen turned to Bob as if wondering how he could be in two places at one time, and there he was beside her on bended knee, beautiful diamond ring in hand, poised to put it on her finger as he asked her to be his wife. With tears streaming down her face, she replied with an emphatic "Yes!"
Cooling her Heels
It was a beautiful day for a hike, the weather was perfect, but Peter seemed a little "out of it" today, a little aloof. Wendy figured it was because the end of the quarter was near and Peter was still short of his sales quota.
As they walked, she and Peter engaged in idle chit chat. If she mentioned anything about work, he quickly moved along to another subject.
The sound of the waterfall in the distance meant that a lunch break was just around the corner. Her feet were tired and she was ready for a rest. The waterfall was Wendy's favorite place in the whole world, and she looked forward to a peaceful half an hour enjoying its beauty.
Running to the edge of the pool, she pulled off her hiking boots and let her feet slowly sink in the cool blue water. Peter joined her as they sat and shared a delicious lunch of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Afterwards, dozing the in sun, Wendy tried to think of a way to cheer Peter up a bit.
As they prepared to leave, Wendy slid on her socks and grabbed her boots. After cooling her heels in the stream, her boots always felt so much better on her feet. Lacing up her second boot, she noticed something strange about the shoelace. There was something hanging from it...a diamond ring! It was a diamond engagement ring!!
She turned to face Peter who had dropped to his knee beside her. Taking the boot from her, he removed the ring, looked lovingly into her eyes, and said, "Wendy, I love you more than anything in this world. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?"
Wendy's response was a great big "Yes!" as she toppled Peter over into the grass to give him a kiss.
