Here are a few of the best:
	He and I were going out to dinner in the historic town of Ashland, Virginia. As we were walking along the cobble-stone streets, it started to snow. We took cover on the site of a 1920's era train station which is now a museum. A historic interpreter costumed as a period Western Union Telegram delivery man was walking past announcing a telegram. To my surprise, he was calling my name! When I received the telegram, the message was "will you marry me?" Of course I said YES! Mary Lewis - Richmond, Virginia
	We were opening presents on Christmas with my family. I opened one from him - a silver goblet engraved with "Will you marry me?" At our wedding reception, he will hold that one for the toast and I will hold one that says "Yes!" Diane S. - Norfolk, Va
	I ordered a Vermont Teddy Bear (large stuffed bear made to order) and had the bear personalized. I had the Vermont Teddy Bear Company embroider on the back of the bear's jacket "Will You Marry Me?" The bear was shipped to her place of work for her birthday. She opened the box and thought all she had gotten was this cute teddy bear for her birthday. She was busy looking at all the details that the Vermont Teddy Bears have when she came across the back of the jacket, read what it said and let out a scream! I tracked the bear's shipment till it was delivered via the internet. I then got the call I wanted to hear. She called and all she said was "YES". Jeff H. Milwaukee, WI
	We both worked at a ski resort. I left clues for her throughout the day directing her to check her e-mail at a certain time, look in a particular drawer, etc. Each clue lead to another clue. Finally, that afternoon, she was supposed to go read the electronic "ski conditions" message board at an exact time. One message scrolled across saying "Will you marry me?" Brian S, Wintergreen, Va
	We were taking a hike along a trail in the mountains. We came upon a wooden observation deck that looked out over this fantastic view of the Shenandoah Valley. There was a small round table and 2 chairs on the deck and a champagne bucket with a bottle of champagne on the table. I thought this must be someone's private property or something. Then he asked me to sit down at the table and he pulled out two glasses. To my astonishment, he opened the champagne bottle and began to fill the glasses. I was still in shock when he explained that we were here for a purpose and he asked me to be his wife. How could I not say yes? S. Kilpatrick - Richmond, Va.
