How do I vote? Im going fro number 2 as my dad means so much to me! x
I met my now fiance' at the college where we both work, we had never met each and probably never would have if it weren't for a troubled student whom my fiance' helped out of a difficult time and then referred onto myself as I am the College mentor, so we always laugh about how we owe it all to this lad. We went away this Christmas with my parents and brother on a skiing holiday, we arrived late Christmas eve so we went straight to bed, he woke me in the morning and said "you have to come out to the balcony and see the view its magnificent", to which I did all bleary eyed. I stepped out onto the snowy balcony and was blown away by the view of the snow covered mountain we were afoot of it was breathtaking!! Adam started talking about how much he loved me and how happy he was and I nodded away saying yes me too, but was mesmerised by the view, I then turned round to see Adam on his knee covered in snow clutching a beautiful wooden box, I literally froze, I was so completely shocked and surprised, he said "will you please do me the honour of marrying me...whilst opening the box revealing the snarkiest diamond ring I had ever seen!" I just kept repeating "oh my god" over and over in shock then screamed yes of course and burst into tears!! My parents and brother then all scrambled onto the balcony in tears also, they all knew of the great plan all along. We are now back home and planning our wedding for 2013, we've never been as happy and I cannot wait for our special day.

voting for # 1
Couple number 4.. DEFO!!! xx
My fiancé and I met in a boxe fight night (I know, not very romantic) and the manager introduce us since I'm Brazilian and he was trying to learn Portuguese. We became closer friends on Cherri's blossom festival and started dating in the summer 2010. New Year's Eve of 2011/2012 he suggested to go to NY and watch the ball drop in Times Square and the thought of standing in the cold, without a bethroom with millions of people to try to watch a minuscule ball drop was not very interesting, but he kept on pushing me and so I went. On the way to Times Square all roads were closed at 2 pm and we could only reach 54th st, we couldn't see the ball, people were pushing us, and right there on the countdown for midnight , he kept on saying how happy he was that I was such a adventurous girl and how blessed he was for the privilege of the past years and he wanted to know what did I think about his last name, he then kneed down and ask "will you marry me"? It was breathtaking and I couldn't even speak, just nodd my head <3
Number 3 to win xx
No 3 is a real winner & a keeper
vote for number 5
My fiancé proposed to me November 15th 2012 and it was the most romantic week of my life so far! His proposal stretched across a few days and I had no idea why he was being so romantic! It began on our anniversary when he was working a night shift, so I got into my pyjamas and settled down to watch a film. Halfway through it stopped and the screen went blank. Suddenly a montage of photos of us came on to one of my favourite songs and the words 'I'm sorry I can't be with you on our 4 year anniversary. Go to the back garden…' In utter disbelief I I walked to the patio doors and peered into the garden. Suddenly fireworks were going off! I stepped outside and Aaron (my fiancé) appeared from the dark holding a bottle of champagne! 'Get dressed, I'm taking you out – you've got an hour'. He then whisked me off to the restaurant where we had our first blind date, but he had booked the entire place out! My suspicions were raised however the meal passed… with no proposal! The next day the same thing happened – I was watching breakfast TV and the screen flipped over with words telling me to pack a bag as we were going away for the night! Aaron came out of the bedroom grinning at my excitement for the next surprise. He whisked me off to the Yorkshire Dales and we spent the night in a gorgeous suite with dinner served in our room. Again, I was getting suspicious and again the evening passed with no proposal! We both returned to work for 2 days before we had a 10 day break in the Lake District. However, on the way to our cottage we had booked Aaron started to drive in the wrong direction. We arrived not at the cottage but at a stunning coach house 2 storey suite! It was breathtakingly luxurious. the following day we woke up to find a picnic hamper had been left for us from my favourite restaurant and Aaron took me down a lane to the jetty at Lake Windermere. I thought 'Surely THIS is it?!' but the picnic passed.... and no proposal! Later on in the afternoon we drove to a Spa hotel and enjoyed some treatments. We had agreed to meet at the bar afterwards and discuss what we should do for dinner. Aaron coolly said 'that's it now, there are no more surprises. I hope you have enjoyed your anniversary. Where should we eat?' I suggested we stayed at the spa hotel for dinner, so we walked over to the restaurant. The manager suddenly stopped us and said 'this way sir. Your table is ready'. He led us into a separate room overlooking the Lake with a solitary table in its centre and a setlist began to play all my favourite love songs. It was overwhelmingly thoughtful! After our second course a firework went off by the Lake, so Aaron suggested we go and see what was happening. He opened the doors to a corridor filled with hundreds of candles and our song began to play. He opened the patio doors and handed me a glass of champagne. With tears in his eyes he told me how he had known since he met me that I was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. He got down on one knee and said 'Rebecca Jessica Grimes, Will you marry me?' I was speechless! I think I screamed 'Yes, Yes, A Million Times Yes!' At that moment an amazing display of fireworks went off! He later told me he had custom designed the ring and hand-picked every diamond in it, and for the last year he has been taking sneaky trips to London to see a diamond merchant! I am still overwhelmed by the lengths he went to for me. We are getting married in January 2014 and we can't wait.
