While that old trick of presenting an engagement ring on bended knee and asking, "Will you marry me?" while in a private setting is the most classic (and classy) way to become engaged, it's not the only good way to make betrothal a reality. There's the ring at the bottom of the champagne glass... there's the cake with "Will U Marry Me?" in icing... there's the impromptu "hey, let's get married" after a particularly intimate moment... there's even the old reprogramming a handheld video game trick. And after you've exhausted all of the more subtle options, there's the … Read More

I had always been sure I wanted to get married, and the longer I dated Dean, the more sure I was that he was the right one for me. That is...until I got engaged. 

Dean's proposal wasn't a surprise. I was too nosey to not know it was happening, and I enthusiastically said yes the moment he asked. However, once it happened (in a sweet and thoughtful way, I should add), I began to feel these nagging questions eating away at me: Did I really want to be married? Would we be any good at it?

I love Dean, but in the … Read More

Love or hate it, Valentine's Day puts the pressure on all of us to step up our game and romance the heck out of our loved ones. Some people go the chocolates and flowers route.

But try living up to these couples: Some of them got engaged on Valentine's Day, and still others had their actual weddings on February 14. So was it the lovey-dovey, fairytale event they'd always dreamed of? And how do they top such … Read More

Jeff and Erin's extravagantly geeky wedding invite has sent the Internet into a frenzy of "awwws" and proclamations of "EPIC WIN." Snail mail invites weren't a glimmer in this couple's eye; instead, they crafted a parody trailer that had them starring in every movie trope and genre imaginable. Their wedding trailer was such a hit that The Early Show joked that it would make Steven Spielberg jealous. We can only hope they do (and document) their wedding in equally epic style. In the meantime, we've compiled videos of some of our favorite wedding stunts for you to enjoy. Read More

Cathy Torkelson, 34, had a good job as a legal consultant, a loving boyfriend and supportive friends and family. She was a good girlfriend in what appeared to be a solid year-and-a-half-long relationship. Yet, internally, Cathy was anxious, irritable, moody and unable to concentrate. The cause? A persistent question: why hasn't he proposed? Signs He's Serious

Torkelson's questioning became "all-consuming," and eventually turned a normally independent, rational woman into a nervous wreck.

"I got in a depressive state where all I wanted to do was crawl into a ball and cry," she explains. Her boyfriend was committed, attentive and she knew … Read More

We're suckers for a good proposal story (heck—we'll even take a bad one).

So, clearly we were all a-swoon when we heard about one man's incredibly romantic airport proposal. 

John Kilpatrick of Duluth, Ga., knew that his girlfriend of two years, Erin, was flying home to Dallas for the holidays. So he decided to book a flight that left immediately before hers so he could surprise her by showing up at the gate—and getting down on one knee.

While that seemed like a great plan on its own, a few people wanted to make it even more special. When John told … Read More

The season finale of The Biggest Loser had us rooting for everyone. (It's difficult to choose "the best" when every contestant shed so many pounds. Luckily, the scale was impartial and chose Danny.)

Alexandra and Antoine: Like we mentioned, these two found each other in the most recent season. While … Read More
