Back when Linda Goodnight, Melissa James, Shirley Jump, Melissa McClone, Susan Meier and I were writing The Wedding Planners and blogging about all things love and marriage, I was constantly on the lookout for some fun marriage proposal videos. It's been awhile since I've done that, and the two below aren't new, but I think they're kind of cute and fun (maybe because they involve puppets)? See what you think.

This one is short and sweet, but it does the job:



This one has been around for several months, and it has a good story to go with it (plus it's pretty romantic. I think the story behind it makes it even more romantic).



Here's the story (it's a good one) with more videos and updates (right up until this month) and a gorgeous shot of the custom made rings:

I'll confess that most of the time marriage proposal videos are of more interest to those involved (family and friends and, of course, the couple). Often they're longer than necessary or could do with some good editing or better videography, but a few are standouts. This one worked for me. What do think? Do you know anyone who proposed in an unusual (or simply very romantic) way?

Best Wishes,
