I love unique proposals, its hard to get out of the cliche proposal because, well, it is romantic to get engaged under the Eiffel Tower, and Valentine’s Day is a day of love. But once in a while you have that funny or sweet proposal (you can see all our proposal videos here ) and it really takes your breath away.

I love the beach, the ocean, and my favorite animal lives in the sea, so of course in my eyes this would be an awesome way to ask the person of your dreams for their hand in marriage. And its pretty adorable that he still managed to sort of get on one knee. What a fun idea!

What happens when you are dating a geek? You get proposed to in binary while he is dressed as Bender from the show Futurama. In case you’re wonder…he said: “Rachel, you are awesome. Will you marry me?” She said yes. And really, who wouldn’t? It would take me forever to figure it out, so thank god for this, but I think the sentiment is crazy adorable.

How many wedding rings have you seen? Hundreds. But have you ever seen one this romantic? A simple band right? Nope, this band has a small heart in the inside that over time, will leave an imprint on your finger. A sweet unique idea for a ring!

I am a huge Star Trek and Harry Potter fan, maybe more of a Potter fan (love this proposal idea) but that does not mean that I cannot appreciate being proposed to like this…What I am saying is, if you love something then why would you not want it incorporated in one of the most important moments of your life…an engagement, or take it to the next level…an engagement ring.

Last year we saw a fan of Wonder Woman get her dream engagement ring, so what happens when a gentleman is dating an Indiana Jones fan? He makes sure that he gets down on one knee with a unique ring inspired by Indiana Jones, duh!

I have to say, it may not be the most beautiful ring, but it is super romantic to say the least. Check it out below:

A couple married for 61 years died hours apart from each other on Sunday. Nancy Trimmer passed away in her sleep around midnight on Sunday. Her husband, Richard Trimmer who spent years fighting kidney failure, lung cancer and heart issues with his wife by his side, was told of her death while he was in the hospital recovering from a fall.

He died 12 hours after hearing of her death. The couple were high school sweethearts and had six children.  Their children and grandchildren shared that they were always inseparable. This story is heartwarming and melancholy all at the same time. It reminds me of the Titanic, remember the older couple, Mr. and Mrs. Straus, who died together holding hands? There were so few life boats and women were asked to go first, leaving a lot of the men behind. Mr. Straus was not given a seat on a life boat and Mrs. Straus chose to be with her husband and perish with him than live without him.

These are the tearjerker stories you hear that remind you that true love is alive and well. I can understand how upsetting it is to lose both your parents within a day, but at the same time, they were just not meant to be apart.

What does it take to make a 99 year old man who has been married for 80 years file for divorce? An affair…that happened 70 years ago. But should he let it go? First the facts: Antonio, 99, and his wife, Rosa, 96 met in the 1930’s when he was a Carabiniri officer. They have five children, a dozen grandchildren and one great-grandchild. But all this apparently did not stop Antonio, meaning that if the divorce goes through, they will be the oldest couple to ever divorce.

Antonio found letters that Rosa had written to her lover back in the 1940’s, showing the letters to his wife, he demanded a divorce. Rosa confessed her infidelity and thought she would be allowed to reconcile with her husband, but he did not give her that choice, since he immediately filed.  10 years ago the couple hit a rough patch and Antonio moved out, moving in with his son. The couple worked it out after some weeks and reunited. This Antonio sounds like a spitfire.

So, I looked around to see what people thought, should he have filed for divorce, or should he have let it go? A lot of the commentators on Time say “good for him, and she got what she deserved.”

Looking at both sides, Rosa obviously made a mistake, but at the end of the day, she chose her husband. She never left him and although it was very wrong, being with someone 80 years has to count for something.

The one aspect that makes it really intolerable, if we are going to beak it all up, is the fact that she never told him. Had she told him..would he had stayed? From how this Antonio sounds, Probably not. So that means all their kids and grand kids would not exist if she had indeed told her husband about the affair.

While Antonio is right, you can’t think about what could have been, only what is. Every one makes mistakes. While it is a blow, he found out so many years later, with their age…I say let it go, even though it may be difficult.

Its your special day, you are all set, got the perfect white dress, family and friends are around, and you are about to marry the love of your life. The ceremony begins the priest asks “If anyone objects to this union, speak now or forever hold you peace” and…a huge siren goes off. Literally. A loud, obnoxious siren right then and there. Do you keep going…? Come on, talk about a warning sign! Honestly, calling off the wedding would definitely cross my mind.  People always say, “I wish I had a sign” well, it really does not get any clearer than this!
