The Romantic Guide to Popping the Question
The Romantic's Guide to Popping the Question is based on a contest which Michael Webb did. He asked people to send him their proposal ideas and offered a vacation to the person with the most original and creative idea. The offers poured in and he took the 101 best ideas and made a digital book out of them. This is the Romantic's guide to Popping the Question. By the way, the amazing thing was that the proposal which eventually won the competition cost around 20 dollars to make, which makes it clear that as far as proposals go, expensive doesn't necessarily mean better.
