The Sentinel compiled proposal stories by KSU students. Below are some of our favorites.
“My fiancée and my best friend tricked me into thinking that she had to do a photo shoot of us for her photography class. So I planned the whole thing! What we wore, where it was, when it was, the props we used…everything. Turns out there was no school project, he was just planning on proposing and knew that I would want pictures of it. After we had been taking pictures for a while he told me there was one more pose he wanted to do, got down on one knee, and asked me to marry him,” -Aimee Croft, senior Accounting Major
We pulled into the West deck at KSU, so we could meet a friend in the student center. As Bill went to get out of the car, I pulled him back in. The quick conversation went like this.
Bill: What?
Tara: We’ve been together for five years.
Bill: And?
Tara: (Held his hand.) Will you marry me?
Bill: (He frowns.) Are you serious?
Tara: Yes, why wouldn’t I be?
Bill: (Takes his hand away.) You tell me all these years how you want to be proposed to and then you do this?
Tara: I’m just tired of waiting and you still haven’t answered me.
Bill: Yes, Tara, I will marry you…AND you will never find out how I was going to propose to you in two weeks.
Tara: WHAT?! I can wait. You can still propose.
Bill: Oh no, it’s done. We’re engaged now. (He gets out of the car.)
Tara: But…but…..at least tell me how you were going to propose!
Bill: Nope.
Tara: Bill! You have to!
Bill: No I don’t.
The conversation continued like that all the way to the student center. We have been together ten years, married for three, and he has yet to tell me.

“My fiancé Stephen and I have been together for almost 4 years now. Every summer we plan a trip to the beach and last year we went to Key West, FL. It was absolutely beautiful there. It was not like the typical tourist type of city, it had a lot of great local places. Instead of driving cars we rode bicycles and mopeds around. The first night we were there we ate at this amazing lobster bar off of the pier. It had a spectacular view that I could never forget. It was near the end of August so the weather was just right, warm and breezy.
After dinner we took a stroll on the pier and lied on the hammock they had at the end. A little later I was stunned to see Stephen down on one knee asking me if I would spend the rest of my life with him with the most beautiful ring I have ever seen in his hand. I was speechless and screamed yes yes yes! We are now planning our wedding that will take place next April of 2014 and I have to say, I am so excited and cannot wait for the day to come!”
