Tell me a story about a marriage proposal — yours, a friend’s, a family member’s, or someone else’s story you just heard about from somewhere. I’m certain there will be a spectrum of moods and tones here — some will be grand, some simple, some saccharine, some funny, and hey, even disastrous. Not all marriage proposals are successful, right? This’ll make for a really interesting blog carnival. And who knows? Maybe some readers will get ideas for the new year. Hmmm. 😉
Write about it in your blog and link back to this post. I’ll collate all links and entries and have the set up by mid-December. Deadline for submission of entries is on Dec. 9, 2007, Dec. 15, 11:59 pm.
Let the Marriage Proposal Blog Carnival begin!
*****
Would anyone like to volunteer to create a button for this blog carnival? That would be really cool. If you’d like to contribute a button, kindly post the button on your blog and share the link with me. Thanks!
Update, 11,.28, 10.30 am: Here’s a pretty pic from Mika you can use for your posts or button creations.
Update, 12.03, 12.27 am: Buttons here!!!
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

December 1, 2007 at 7:50 am (16 years ago)What an interesting post Toni. We didn’t have a marriage proposal sort of thing. It was more of a mutual agreement which we talked about. I don’t have anything to share but I would love to read the romantic marriage proposal of others.
