Dear Boyfriend, 7 Grand Proposal Stories To Inspire You! *Blush*

Romance is the spice of life. Let’s admit it, we’re all waiting for our own version of a fairytale and a happy ending. After all, we all deserve a story that’s as unique as we are. Here are 7 love and proposal stories of people who got their own magical happy ending…or beginning!

1. The Ultimate Romance

We cannot have a list of legendary proposals without making the King of Romance, Shahrukh Khan and his wife Gauri Khan’s story, a part of it. They both met at a party when SRK was only 18 and as they say rest is history. Their love story, was in a typical fashion, completely filmy. Gauri’s parents, who were Hindu Brahmin, were against the relationship and did not agree to let Gauri get married to somebody from another religion who was a struggling actor. Eventually, after a long fight, they did manage to convince her parents. This is what SRK said about his proposal on The Anupam Kher Show – ‘I had a Fiat back then and I was dropping her home. That is when I asked her if she will marry me and went off, I didn’t even wait for her to say ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ She must have said a ‘yes’ only, because then we were married off.’ True love always wins!

2. Gloria Got Her Fairy Tale

Sofia Vergara, our very own Gloria from Modern Family, has a fairytale love story with Joe Manganiello. Sofia was just out of a relationship and wanted to be single for a while so Joe had to really convince his celebrity crush to give him a chance and go on a date with him. Joe, a true romantic, had an amazing proposal planned for Sofia. On the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, he surprised Sofia and popped the question on Christmas Eve. And the true romantic that he is, he also made a book containing all their texts and pictures of places that meant something to both of them for Sofia on the first anniversary of their first date. Talk about being totally drool worthy!

3. Love In A Hopeless Place

Another love story that is truly heart touching is the one of this Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Cameron who proposed to his girlfriend Melissa at the Tampa Bay Rays baseball game. They met under truly unfortunate circumstances, when she was stabbed by an ex boyfriend almost 30 times in the face, back and arms. Once they reconnected after her surgery, Cameron helped her get through the trial and soon they fell in love. With a proposal that left everyone around in tears, it truly goes to show that after darkness comes light.

4. LDR Knows No Bounds

Who says you cannot be romantic in a long distance relationship? Jess and Nick have been in a long distance relationship for 4 years now with him living in Toronto and her being based out of Los Angeles. Nick planned a perfect surprise for Jess who is a professional dancer. He arranged a fake dance audition for her and did another cute thing by making her audition on a song he’d written just for her for this very moment. He showed up as soon as she finished the piece and she was surprised, she never even knew he was in the city! Watch the proposal video for yourself to see how cute it was!

5. Magic Happens

Do you know what’s the happiest place on earth? One where you can relive the memories of your childhood, like the Walt Disney World. Who wouldn’t want to be proposed at a place where magic happens? Well that’s exactly what Kyle Parks did for his girlfriend McKenzie. He planned a trip for her to the Walt Disney World, one that would conclude in a dreamy proposal under the stars with fireworks in the background. Sigh, could anyone ask for more?

6. A Long Wait

A proposal planned over a period of three years? Sounds impossible, right? Not for Timothy or Candice! When Timothy saw Candice for the first time, he knew she was the girl he wanted to marry. So over a period of three years, he wrote 13 letters, each one starting with a large capital letter. Kept together, they spelled the words ‘Will You Marry Me’. Talk about making a plan in advance!

7. Hidden Gem

There are some people who go all out for a proposal, spending a bomb on it and there are some who make a necklace for their girlfriends with the engagement ring hidden in it to wear around their neck. Say what? Terry did exactly that. He gave Anna, his girlfriend a handmade pendant necklace which had an engagement ring hidden inside it. For almost a year and a half, Anna wore the necklace, unaware of the hidden surprise. When he finally proposed to her in Scotland, her happiness knew no bounds. Amazing, am I right?
