Story 1

My boyfriend and I were at a restaurant and I don't know how he did it, but he put the engagement ring in my salad. I didn't see it and I put it in my mouth. I think he panicked and tried to stop me. Anyway, luckily I felt something hard as I bit into my food and I didn't swallow it. I took it out, saw what it was and accepted! So that was how we got engaged. It was almost a disaster. We got married one month later.

Story 2

We decided to go on holiday in Egypt as we both liked diving. This was me and my girlfriend at the time. So we went on a dive and I proposed to her underwater. I didn't say anything. I just gave her the ring while we were, I don't know, ten feet under. Luckily, she smiled. We got back on the boat and she said yes.

Story 3

My husband and I are video artists. We met at art school and honestly we fell in love immediately. And what he did was he made a funny two-minute video, he put it on YouTube and sent a link to me. And it was him proposing. And in the video there was music and then all of our friends suddenly appeared, singing and dancing.It was amazing and such a surprise. I watched it and then I surprised him. I accepted his proposal, but I didn't tell him. Instead I made a video of me saying yes.
