Reading marriage proposal stories is a romantic activity that can help you to imagine the day you’ll get engaged, or to remember the romance of the day your sweetheart popped the question. After all, there are few phrases in the English language that are more sweated over or rehearsed than "Will you marry me?"

If you're sweating over your own marriage proposal, try reading these stories for inspiration and company. Or, if you're a romantic like I am, read them just because -- regardless of how soon or recent your own engagement might be.

When was the marriage proposal? Valentine's Day 2009

The Marriage Proposal Story of Weddings.D106 reader Christine. He proposed in a game!

We were staying in for the night to watch the movie Hancock together. Right before we started the movie, my fiance wanted me to test out a level that he created on "Little Big Planet" (google it). He said he was creating a level for his niece and nephews to play when they come over to visit. So I sit on the couch and start playing the level. It was a scavenger hunt. The game would give me instructions to look for hidden clues around my house.

The first clue was in the silverware drawer. It gave me instructions that I needed to refer back to the screen for. I needed to pull a switch and then it gave me another clue. There was a piece of paper and a notepad underneath the cushion I was sitting on. It told me to write down the letters I saw on the screen.

The letters spelled out "GO SEE BILL".

Sooo... I did. When I went to the office where he was, he got up from his desk and got down on one knee and proposed to me. :) It was so cute!
