Aren’t these the most romantic stories you ever heard?

Strap - Married couples share the touching ways they proposed and got engaged

Women usually love reading romantic stories and fantasize about how they would like to be proposed to. They love imagining their partners getting down on one knee and proposing with a huge ring in a romantic setting.

Dating and love confessions pages are full of the fantasies women experience. The fantasies range from quirky to tear-jerking - one woman imagined her disabled partner walking for the first time and managing to get down on one knee in order to pop the question.

A man confessed that he wanted his proposal to be special and romantic, so he decided to slip a ring on his girlfriend's finger while she was sleeping. She woke up to him asking for her hand in marriage.

Another young lover customized his proposal according to his partner's niche interests -which - happened to be Pokemon.

The romantic story of how you proposed will be told not just to friends but also to strangers for the rest of your lives. Hence, men and women in love try to make efforts to propose using romantic and foolproof proposal ideas.

A young lady arranged a surprise proposal for her 5 year long boyfriend with a street caricaturist. She had the caricaturist sketch a picture of both of them with word bubbles that said, "Will you marry me?" and "Yes!"

A clichéd but full proof romantic way of proposing is to go out for a night of dancing and requesting the DJ to pass on the mike to you so that you can dedicate a song and propose on the dance floor.

Another mushy mushy idea is to go for a long long drive, followed by a candle light dinner. Have a drink in the bar prior to the dinner. Get the hotel staff in loop and have candles, roses and champagne all set up in your hotel room – an easy but sure shot surprise proposal that can woo any woman for you.

Another idea to make your proposal to the list of top romantic stories for ever is to ask a friend take photos of you posing with posters that say, "will," "you," "marry" and "me." Make plans to meet your ‘special one’ on the D-day and before they reach the destination, text the photos in order.
