If you're waiting for that Knight in Shining Armor or just love reading great stories by real people, the pages of The World's Greatest Proposals will warm your heart. From the guy who mowed his proposal in the lawn to the boyfriend who showed up dressed like cupid, these proposals will pull your heart strings and tickle your funny bone. It's a must read.

Girlfriends if you want to be engaged by Valentine's Day, this book is the perfect gift to buy for your boyfriend's stocking. It will give him a guide on how to buy the ring and how to ask the question.

5.0 out of 5 stars A New Sister In Law, December 21, 2000
By A Customer
My brother has found the perfect sister in law for me but he hasn't got the nerve up to ask her for her hand in marriage. I went to work on Amazon looking for some inspiration for him. I found The World's Greatest Proposals for an early Christmas present. He thanked me and plans are in the works for a Valentine's Day Engagement. Thank you Amazon & thank you Mr. Cuellar.
