1. Amanda Pride & Corey Seguin
Date: Friday, February 13, 2009
Location: Flagship Cinemas, Auburn, Maine

Amanda & Corey

Amanda writes:
Corey and I go to the movies all the time to see all sorts of different kinds of films, but it was my turn to pick, and since I’m a huge horror fan, I decided that the next movie we would see is the new Friday the 13th that was coming out the day before Valentine’s Day.  So he got us tickets. Little did i know I would end up in tears before the movie even started.

We sat down and I remember thinking, “God this place is packed!” I hate it when there is so many people and I knew we should have just waited another time. As the lights went down and the beginning advertisements rolled, nothing seemed out of the ordinary or so i thought. On the screen, a voiceover was talking about it being lovers weekend, “Blah blah blah…”

And then it said, “And now a special announcement…” I looked up and it was my boyfriends face on the big screen, asking me to marry him.  By that time, I was covering my face, balling my eyes and he was on one knee beside me. Everyone was staring and clapping and it was embarrassing, but so sweet because he is so shy and would never do that for anyone but me. It was PERFECT!

2. Margaret Dulis & Louis Protano
Date:  May, 1974
Location:  Louis’ Trans Am, parked in Marine Park in Brooklyn, New York

Louis & Margaret

Louis writes:
I am a person who likes to do things in a grand manner.  But on this particular occasion, fate spoke differently.  One particular night, my girlfriend and I were hanging out in my Trans Am and talking about things.  All of the sudden it crossed my mind, if the day came, would marriage be a possibility in our relationship.  So I threw it out there and I wanted to ask the question, “Would you marry me, if I asked you one day?”  Well, as soon as I said “Would you marry me…”, my now-wife started hugging me and kissing me!  But I never finished the sentence!!  I was in such shock, I did not know what to do.

As days passed, I wanted to explain that I had not asked the full question.  But, she got more and more excited, and I liked her too much, so I confided in my best friend.  My best friend almost died, because he was dating his girlfriend for three years, and we were only dating for three months.  He really wanted me to tell her the truth, or otherwise he was going to have to propose!

The more I tried to tell her, I knew she would be very sad.  So I said, what the hell.  I went through with it, and did not tell her the true story for 15 years.  We will be married for 35 years in August.  It was the best mistake I ever made!

3. Kasey Klippstein & Colin Moss
Date: January 22, 2010, 4:17 pm
Location: New Orleans, LA

Colin & Kasey

Colin writes:
Being from Chicago and suffering through an unusually cold winter, we decided to take a spur of the moment vacation to New Orleans.  During our second day, we were walking from the Aquarium, along the Riverwalk back to the French Quarter.  Kasey was tired of walking all day, complained that her feet hurt, and wanted to go back to the hotel.

As we started making our way back to the hotel, I convinced her to stop into Pat O’Briens for a Hurricane and some local music.  We sat together, and at approximately 4:17PM (our anniversary is April 17), I pulled out a diamond ring, looked her in the eye and said “Will you marry me?” She of quickly responded with “Shut up!”, “Does my mom know?”, and “Are you serious?”.

She then, of course, said “Yes!”.  We spent the next 3 hours on the phone telling our friends and family back in Chicago the good news.  We are currently in the process of planning our wedding for the fall of 2011.

Now that you’ve read the stories, it’s time to vote for your favorite! You can vote once a day until Friday at 12:05am. Results will be posted on Friday morning!
