What are some funny ways women can propose to men?
The funniest female woman proposal to a man I've heard ever happened about two or three Halloweens ago. The couple went to a party in kind of reverse dress. She was dressed as a man, and he was dressed as a really ugly woman. In the middle of the Halloween Party, she had the music turned on, and the lights came up in this darkened house. She got on one knee and proposed in a fake deep voice, like a man would to him. It was really neat. He loved it, and the crowd went crazy.
What is your favorite story of a woman proposing?
I think my favourite story of a woman proposing is actually what took place when a woman proposed back. The young man had worked really, really hard to make sure that the proposal was perfect, and when he asked her she hesitated and wasn't really sure and gave the answer back a few days later, and you can imagine how he felt that whole time. Well she knew in her heart from the beginning that this is the guy she wanted to marry, she just wasn't sure if the timing was right. So after she decided to say yes, she went back and took him to dinner and professed her love and proposed back to him right there at the dinner table with the maitre 'd holding a dessert tray. And to me that's the best story of all because it came from the heart.
How can women propose back?
A woman proposing happens sometimes, what happens a lot more often is when the woman proposes back. What I mean by that is a woman will get proposed to, the guy will do the on bended knee traditional thing and she'll cry and she'll say yes. At a later date she'll come in on her own and she'll choose a wedding band with the help of one of our experts. And then she'll set up a dinner and we can help her through perfect proposals and we've done that in the past. And at dinner a conversation will begin and she'll say something like, "Remember when you asked me that question, will I marry you. I gave you the wrong response". And he'll get a little suspicious and she'll whip out a box with a ring in it and she'll say, "My response should have been yes and will you marry me back?" and put the ring on his finger. And we've heard that happen a lot and those couples come in and they can't wait to tell us that story. That's something that a guy would brag about for years to come.
What additional factors should women consider before proposing?
The factors a women should consider before proposing or no different than everything a man should consider before proposing.

Is he a guy that's open to that kind of thing?, and these are the things that you should consider. But you're going to know the answers to that better than anyone else. Because by this time, you know each other so well, that you really know what's the right thing to do.
