The Dreamer
She loves to dream. She likes wondering about what could have been, should have been, and may have been. She loves looking at the night-sky - who knows, a shooting star may just fly past one day and she will be able to make her wish. Her wish to be with you.

i was bored... and thus resorted to surfing the net to read wedding proposals, being the ever romantic girl-_- so here are my favourite ones! read , melt and gush over them . im crossing my fingers and praying that i'll be as fortunate as them (: hahaha
- My girlfriend and I were doing the long distance thing for almost a year, after meeting on a cruise ship while vacationing in the Carribean. She came up to Canada to visit me for 3 weeks over Christmas from her home in a Chicago suburb. After getting permission from her father, her parents (knowing what I had planned) decided to spend Christmas with us. My girlfriend, Chrissy, thought it would be a good idea to spend Christmas Eve together with her parents and suggested booking reservations at The Keg Steakhouse just down the street from where I lived. Little did she know, a month earlier, I had already booked reservations at another Keg Steakhouse 15 minutes away, overlooking Niagara Falls. Just before we went to dinner, I told her to pack her things for overnight because the restaurant overlooking the falls we were going to also gave me a good deal on a hotel room (which was also booked a month earlier). After having a wonderful, elegant dinner with her parents, we went to our suite on the 38th floor overlooking the Falls. After lighting some candles and opening some champagne, I handed her a gift. She opened it up and inside was a scrapbook that I made. The first page was us as kids (with the help of her mom on some pictures) and a page dedicated to each month we have been together over the past year. On the final page I wrote a letter and read it to her out loud. She thought nothing of it because I read her one for her birthday months earlier. As I started reading the letter, fireworks started to go off over Niagara Falls. She wanted me to keep reading so I continued. When I got to the bottom of the love letter I flipped up the page to reveal "Will you marry me?" in cut out letters. As the fireworks were still going off, I reached behind me and pulled out the strategically placed ring. With tears gushing, she wrapped her arms around me and said "yes,yes,yes".
2. One day Travis woke me up to breakfast-in-bed and told me he had a surprise for me. Our suitcases were packed at the front door and I was very suspicious. Around noon, he began taking me to various places that were important to our relationship. Favourite restraunts, favourite parks, we watched the first movie we had ever seen together, and then that night we took a plane ride to Yellowknife. We then scavengered through all of our childhood memory locations and finally he took me to the theatre where we shared our first kiss. When we got onto the stage, looking out into all the empty seats filled with roses and candles, he proposed to me. With Rod Stewart's "Have I Told You Lately" song playing throughout the auditorium I felt like I was in heaven.
these two are my favourite~ *wistful sigh ......
hahahaha !
