How Did Your Character Propose? 💍💒😍

@DomiSotto

Iirc she tells him, I hate you! when he does it, and he parries with, It didn’t stop you the first time.

I chuckled nicely .

@DomiSotto

it involves lightning bolts and a magic contract that serves as a chastity belt…

That’s one way to do it .

Also, the skating thing is just cute, haha.

@MatthewJH

These are all chapter extracts, with some background context.

A while love story in three chapters, cool!

@CMF_Wright

I wrote a scene once where one of my characters proposed to the other in a broom closet during a party, because they were both king and queen of their respective countries and hiding from the courtiers who were trying to bother them, and the question just sort of accidentally slipped out.

I’m getting Romeo and Juliet tease .

@stella_vigo

Years later, he’ll ask her to meet him at sunrise, in the meadow where she first found him. Then when she arrives, he’ll get down on one knee, present a ring, and propose to her.

Technically that’s not the only proposal that we’ll see in the trilogy, but the other one happened in a flashback and the one who proposed is now dead so

So cute went to real quick .

@TheTigerWriter

Proposals. I forgot their existence.

[CMFriesen]

Gets me thinking about how the proposal between two of my main characters who are already married would have gone. Evie probably would’ve just like… gave Brandt a credit card with a few thousand and said “Go buy me a ring and ask me over dinner. I’ll pretend to be surprised.”

Rod - bought Gabriella a ring, was about to propose to her but tripped over a wire in the restaurant near the PA system of the live band and went flying into his pasta. Gabriella laughed, took the open box, took the ring, and kissed him. And she also said “I do” too.

Wilmer - actually didn’t buy Luisa a ring. Bought her a puppy instead, because it was cheaper and he liked dogs. The puppy had a note in its mouth asking for her hand in marriage and she said yeah.

Adrian - made a PowerPoint for Marvin on why they should be together. Accepted and got a $200 voucher for a restaurant at the end and seven years of headaches after

[DollyTH]

Love this!

That’s a cute comedy.

Awww, doggy!

Realistic .

I’ve only written one proposal scene, and it was for my story My Christmas Romance. It was a New Year’s Eve proposal so with fireworks on a paradisiacal beach in the Maldives with natural water lights (aka planktons) like in the pic down below

My MC does a beautiful speech and writes down in colorful chocolates (to not say the name) ‘Marry me?’
You have to read the story to really understand how meaningful it is

[feufeu15]

Haha! So original! I like this!

[DomiSotto]

If only it was that simple. It takes them the rest of the book to sort it out.

[feufeu15]

Makes me think of The princess diary 2!

[J.L.O]

Well, it’s certainly a way to tell an audience that there won’t be any hanky panky.

[DomiSotto]

Well, there are apparently plenty of people expressing the desire for NA books with no sex, so any day now someone will read it, I am sure of it.

[J.L.O]

That was so dry.

But seriously, I do hope you catch on, one day, with one of these things.

[JohnnyTuturro]

@DollyTH

That’s a cute comedy.

Rod is so cute, tbh. Gabriella keeps him right.

@DollyTH

Awww, doggy!

Chico IV is his name. Dory has a Chico too.

@DollyTH

Realistic .

Adrian does his own head in too. He’s one of those guys.

@feufeu15

Haha! So original! I like this!

Is it? lol. They’re all a bit weird in the Churroverse…

[J.L.O]

That’s why when you say you had a weird dream, I’m thinking…was it normal, for once?

[JohnnyTuturro]

Nah, my dream isn’t related to proposing, and it was random

[DollyTH]

Awww, sounds so seeet and romantic, love that!

[DollyTH]

I’m sure there’s a market for it!

[lisa_london]

This is actually not the final proposal for this couple (as they, in a stroke of sudden maturity, decide it might be too early for them to get married). But it happens on a gravel soccer field at sunset (so more romantic than it might first seem), using a candy ring from a hospital gift shop.

[DollyTH]

[lisa_london]

They don’t break up though! And this leaves an opportunity for me to write an even more adorable proposal later on (in the sequel).

[DollyTH]

So cute!
