I gave this gift to my husband's niece to read with her new fiancee... I am told they are really enjoying it, and "he" is getting ideas.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Ideas, June 6, 2002

This review is from: The World's Greatest Proposals: 75 Stories of Love, Creativity and Spontaneity (Paperback)

I got this book and most of the ideas were pretty good but I ended up forming my proposal from a few ideas I got at howtoproposemarriage. com -- It was well worth the money I spent to make my lady the talk of the town for the months following the proposal. Nine months later people are still talking about it.
