ROMANTIC PROPOSALS
Here is how I proposed to my wife:
It was a september night in 2002 in Brisbane, Australia. I had a lot of helpers and it was well planned. I had a friend take us to a theatre first, where we watched "Jesus Christ, Superstar." We were picked up after the show by another friend and he took us to a botanical garden in Brisbane where there is a nice path between palms and small waterfalls. I told her that I wanted to take her on a walk. As we were walking, we saw a lot of candles that were lit on our path and it took us to a really nice table full of rose petals and more lit candles. Music was playing and another friend of ours welcomed us to the table. She was dressed like a waitress and brought us a 3 course meal. It was delicious and several people smiled when they passed us on this public path.
After this, I took her on a walk along the river, before we were picked up by our driver and my wife-to-be thought we were going back to the YWAM-base we were staying at, at the time.
Instead, I blindfolded her, and we drove up to a fantastic lookout point called Mount Coo-tha. I led her out of the car, and took her up to the lookout point and then I took off the blindfold.. She loved it and we enjoyed the view for a few minutes, before I walked her down some stairs and on a new path lit up by more candles. It all lead to another table with more rose petals and was decorated nicely with cheesecake and hot chocolate. The table was just below where everyone was enjoying the view, so several people could observe everything--we had an audience.
After eating our dessert, I found a poem from my pocket, called "I wonder if...". It was a beautiful poem ending with... "and I wonder if..." At that point my friends lowered down a big banner from the wall next to us saying: WILL YOU MARRY ME?
(at that point I was down on my knee holding out a nice engagement ring).
She started crying, and said "of course" and I put the ring on her finger while our friends above us threw rose petals down over us.
It was great, and everything ended with us listening to "our song" on a CD-player before our friends came down and prayed for us and for our future together.
