What are some ways that you can propose marriage to the woman you love that will be romantic and meaningful?

We were told of one man who took the woman he wanted to marry to a romantic dinner and then took her to their church afterward. He then asked her to go into the restroom to take off her nylon stockings. She questioned him about his request, thinking it was a bit strange. But he asked her just to trust him and he would explain his request later.

She did what he asked and afterward was led into the church sanctuary. He then took her over to an area that had a spotlight shining over it. There he provided a chair for her to sit on, brought out a basin of water (that he had prepared ahead of time) and proceeded to wash her feet.

As he was washing her feet he told her of his deep love for her and asked her to consider being his wife. He said, “I want to serve you and wash your feet for the rest of our lives together.” It didn’t take her long to express her love to him and to accept his proposal of marriage.

Isn’t that a romantic story? What a beautiful beginning for a life together and what a wonderful attitude to have! We pray he never forgets what he had proposed to her —not only to marry, but the attitude of the heart.

Another wedding we proposal we read about in a past issue of Marriage Partnership Magazine. In this article, it told of a man who had arranged for a stranger to help him surprise the woman he loved with a book that would lead to his marriage proposal in a very romantic setting. Rather than try to explain the story of his wedding proposal, we would like to have you read about it for yourself.
