TwilightGuys Report: He Proposed With Bella’s Engagement Ring

November 12th, 2008 at 12:03 am by Kaleb Nation

HE PROPOSED WITH BELLA’S ENGAGEMENT RING.

I love my girlfriend, and I have to say I love her a lot more than Robert “Robward” Pattinson or Edward Cullen loves her. I love her so much I intend to marry her one day.

We’ve been going out for seven and a half years now and every day has brought me something new, but none as much as her latest obsession of the Twilight books. You see, Marianne and I met in high school when we were sixteen years old, and being introduced to Twilight made me feel like I was dating my sweet sixteen year old girlfriend again.

Unlike some of the other guys I know dating girls obsessed with the books, my girlfriend never insisted that I read the series, but her obsession was making me curious. Now being as obsolete to books as I am, I walked into a book store forgetting the name of the Twilight novel and asked for a book with a girl holding an apple. I intended to surprise my girlfriend by reading it before she inevitably asked me to.

Anyway, the clerk behind the counter was a man, an old man, and he showed me Snow White.

I knew it wasn’t that… so I decided to look for myself and ended up finding Eclipse. It was a small bookstore and I was too scared to get caught buying Twilight in a larger one like Borders, so I bought Eclipse instead and read it. All of it. The Edward character inspired me to want to propose to my girl even sooner than before because he reminded me of how much I loved her.

A few nights later after reading the book, Marianne was intending to buy a t-shirt to wear to the opening release of Breaking Dawn in August and she had the Twilight Teez website open on her computer. I promised I would buy her the shirt and that’s when I came across Bella’s engagement ring.

It finally arrived three months later (give or take) and my plan was simple. I had bought a new bed frame despite there being nothing wrong with the old one. I even went so far as to get one with rose panels. She was confused when I showed her the new frame, but then I intentionally proposed to her the same way Edward did,

“I promise to love you forever - every single day of forever. Will you marry me?”

But it was her face that was most priceless, when she recognized the words I was saying and the ring that she was staring at in its black velvet box. Her reaction was dissimilar to Bella’s -- she screamed and nodded and said “Oh my Cullen!” a lot -- and I kissed each of her fingertips and the ring that was now hers. I’ve since read all other books in the Twilight series and we plan to get married next Spring."

    KUDOS TO YOU MAN!!
  • devz30
    That's soo sweet!! I still recommend reading books in order though, but still really sweet.

    You forgot the name and he gave you Snow White. LOL.This was really funny. Obviously, the man didn't read Twilight. Anyone who read it, when they think of someone holding an apple would immediately register Twilight in their head. Does to me. =D
  • Sarah
    AWWWWW, that's so sweet. Glad he had better results than Edward! Best of luck to you!
  • Elizabeth
    I have tears. That is so amazing!!!
  • Amaranthine
    Wow...major cheesey there, eh? Sweet...but I would probably be scared if my boyfriend showed me his flowery new bed frame. I love the bit about Snow White. I wonder what it would be like reading Twilight out of order...
  • brianna
    I've read it backwards. it's awkward.
  • jannette
    ome.!!
    that was the sweetest most romantic
    thing i've ever read...(in reality) lol.

  • Sarah
    Absolutely breathtaking. You have probably made her the happiest girl with one of the best proposal stories ever. I'm jealous.
  • anne_onymous
    Major AWW moment.
    By far the most romantic Twilight guy report I've read. (no offense)
    He is one smart and clever guy.
    :P
  • alice
    well you are almost right!@#$%^&*()_+-=<>?:"{}[];'./,
  • Kim
    Wow, that is amazing! Major props to you for using Edward's exact words!! And the new bedframe was a really nice touch.

    This is a personal opinion, but Bella's engagement ring is not at all to my taste. I will admit that for a diehard fan, it would be pretty cool, but I wouldn't be able to see myself wearing it. I do like Edward's proposal, however.
  • Priscilla :)
    is it totally cheesy that i squeeled because of this twilight guy story??? that was adorable and cute and sweet and awwwwwww :) that guy played it well. men should really take a course in Edward Cullen for sure!

    <3

    luv aliceee
  • dsolo
    I don't think it's cheesy, I think it's incredibly romantic. Your future wife is feeling extremely lucky right now, and secretly pleased that you managed to surprise her after 7 1/2 years. I'm sure this proposal will become a treasured family story. Way to go!!!
  • Rapunzel
    You sir have raised the bar for real boyfriends everywhere. And I thought it couldn't get higher after our Edward.
    What day was it? I want to commemorate that day to you - we'll call it Twiguy day!
  • Rapunzel
    /\
    ||
    I meant the day you proposed, if it wasn't clear.
  • JulietteluvsTwilight
    Well, everyone has already said that's so sweet, but I'm going to say it again - THAT IS SO PANCAKE FLIPPING SWEET!!!! I seriously wish my boyfriend would do that some day :) Edward Cullen is making the world a better place for love....more guys should try to be like Edward ;)
  • Tracey
    Mate, you get full points for proposing like that.

    Seriously, I can I CLONE you? ;P
  • Allison
    This is by far the best Twilight guy report you have ever posted. I almost cried, it's so sweet. He has totally raised the bar for twilight guys. This story was so amazingly cute!
  • OME!!!!

    That is soooooooo sweet too much for words. I think I would die if that happened to me haha. Dude u must be like the perfect guy to have gone through all that for her.

    do you have a twin??? haha
  • Katilyn
    Oh! that is the sweetest thing ever! I hope he has a long and happy marriage. I hope someday I meet a guy like this. *wipes away tears* SO BEAUTIFUL!
  • Katilyn
    Oh! That is the sweetest thing ever! I hope he and his fiance have a long and happy life together. This gives me hope that there are guys out there who are as sincere and romantic as Edward. *wipes away tears* That was SO BEAUTIFUL!
  • tina
    Probably the best Twilight Guy story you've ever posted.

    Kaleb, do you ever feel the pressure of being 'The Twilight Guy' and what that means for your future romantic life??? You are setting the bar pretty high for yourself by publishing all of these stories - the girl that hooks up with you will expect a lot. lol
  • WOW.
  • KIM
    my heart just melted that, is the most adorable story ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3
  • NGL, This makes me want to vomit multiple times.

    Who buys a new bed frame just to propose?
  • Bekah
    Wow if I got proposed to like that I would probably faint or something, in a good way.
  • Jenn
    Rachul, I completely agree with you. If my boyfriend proposed to me like that I would probably laugh in his face. And then vomit.

    I want my boyfriend to do something of his own, not copy some one else's idea. Honestly, if my future husband doesn't have a brain capable of wooing me with something other than my obsession, do I really want to marry him?
  • Jenn
    Oh, and for the record, I love Twilight. I am incredibly obsessed, ask my boyfriend. It's just that to me, Twilight is the escape from the ordinary. I don't want it to be my life.

    Why do I have the feeling that I'm going to be targeted as a heretic?
  • mara-kate
    AWWWWWWW!!!!! that is possibly one of the sweetest things ever!!! adorable, adorable, amazingly adorable ahh! xD lucky girl, does he have a brother? lol
  • Heather
    To Jenn

    I would also want my boyfriend to do something original, but just the fact that this guy cared that much about his girlfriend to go and do all that was amazing. It seems like this was the dream proposal for Marianne and just the fact that he wanted to make her proposal perfect is what's so sweet. Don't look at the exactness of what he did, just look at the gesture behind it.
  • Shelby
    Wow... I seriously started getting teary eyed reading the last paragraph!!!! That's so sweet!

    I understand what all of you are saying though about how its unoriginal, but in all honesty, it should only matter that he wants to marry you. If its love, it shouldn't matter how the proposal comes, as long as its sweet. His heart was in it. If a story can help you realize exactly how much you care and love your significant other, than I say its ok. Can you really be that picky and rude to say that you'd totally laugh in his face for it? In the moment, you wouldn't really do that. You'd focus on the fact that he's saying he wants to be your husband. That's all that matters. It doesn't matter if he's copying a fictional character, he's committing to being with you for the rest of your life. That's what's so romantic here.

    I think he did something amazing... Love is an amazing thing... It makes us do crazy things, including this.

    (I can say though, I'd want a different ring. I don't care very much for that ring anyways... There's something I don't like. Maybe its just me. But I'd love to hear my boyfriend say those words. I think every girl would love for those words to come out of their boyfriends' mouths. They are the sweetest words ever!)
  • Megan
    OME! That was just plain genius! And romantic! I would definitely remember Edward's lines too. That guy's spectacular!
  • priyanka
    that is so sweet! and totally romantic and so nice, he really proved he loved his girlfriend a lot, and of course she probably found out, too, if she didn't know before, which is probably impossible.... awesome post, one of my favorite twilight guy reports :)
  • Courtney
    I love it. I don't think it is cheesy. IN fact it is creative and probably took a good bit of soul searching. Most guys are always so worried about proposing with flair. Well he did it with what I would term 'simple flair'. The words Stephenie wrote are simple, sweet, and honest. Considering his fiancee is a huge fan, she will appreciate not only their origin but the depth. Best wishes to the two of you. May you have a wonderful 'forever'.
  • Ashley
    AWWWWWWWW! Completly cheesy, but so cute! That girl is so luck to have a guy like that, and that ring! XD
  • Ashley
    gah! I ment lucky! =D
  • Haley :]
    OMFEC. :]
    That is the most amazing and sweetest thing I have ever heard in my life. <3
    That person deserves some serious kudos.

    XOXOH
  • Ari
    That os so freaking romantic! AWWWWWW! This guy deserves a hug! OME! I love the whole idea, I probably would have burst out crying! Aww
  • Brianna J.
    Aaaaawwwwwww! That's so sweet!
  • Meghan
    That is adorable-put could have been done without the bed frame. I love it how the twilight series have taught guys how to be so romantic!
  • Becky
    wow. this is my new favorite twilight guy story I think.

    if every guy was like him (and like Kaleb too of course) life would be SOO much easier.

    yeah its cheesy- but come on, who wouldn't want to marry a guy that's willing to do all that just to propose?

    just don't go looking for Isle Esme for your honeymoon, lol
  • Becky
    no wait, it's a tie between this story and the guy that poured glitter on himself and climbed through his girlfriend's window as my favorite, lol
  • Courtney
    Cheesey much? lol
    its still super sweet though.
  • AussieT
    OME!! What a great way to propose. And I don't think its unoriginal - just because he got inspiration from a fictional book. How many other guys would actually think to propose that way? I don't think I've heard of heaps of guys proposing to their girlfriends that way - seems pretty original to me...
  • Genevieve
    AWWW!!!! I was smiling so huge! I gonna like, cry now.

    Soooo cute :D
  • Annie
    awww! that is so cute!
    Awesome man!

    No, not really. I'll just find the REAL Edward someday. ^_^
  • Mmary
    when that ring came out i wondered how many people were going to propose with it. that's great.
  • Lyssa
    Oh. My. Edward.
    That is the most romantic Twilight inspired proposal EVER.
    Almost brought me to frikkin tears.
    So I'm pretty sure this his how I would want to be proposed to. :)
    Haha, yea, that's unlikely.
    But a girl can dream.
    Kudos to this guy!
  • Samantha-Noel
    AWWWWW! thats awsome! that is the sweetest thing I've ever heard. Can I have one? haha
  • That is so...CUTE! Oh man, you rock dude, wherever you are, you ROCK!
  • Nicole
    I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a tear in my eye…

    He knew it would mean so much to her, so he made it special for them! Proposals are just as unique as the couples they bring together. So kudos to him for knowing his girl so well!
  • Maddy
    this is my favorite twilightguy story.

  • Stephanie V.
    That is the single most sweetest thing I've ever heard of. It seriously brought tears to my eyes, and I'm not the tearful type. I wish them happiness for the rest of their lives.
  • Laura
    That is amazing! If I ever get proposed t, my boyfriend had better do it like that, too!
  • That is sad and pathetic, I hope you two don't breed.
  • Stephanie
    that really did make me cry. and now that i think about it, i feel kind of embarassed because i am not that type of person, but oh well. if only all of us were that lucky.
  • Jenn
    Ryan,

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. At least I'm not the only one.
  • Brianna
    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HOLY CROW OME OME OME THAT IS THE EXACT WAY I WANT TO BE PROPOSED TO!!!

  • Malerie

  • Fervt88
    AWWWWWWW my god!!!!!! Every guy in the world should follow Edward´s steps like you just did! I´m sure Marianne love you more now because of those tiny details you make for her! You proved her how much you love her! I´m so happy for you both! but I´m so jealous at the same time because my boyfriend would NEVER do that...he hates Edward because he is jealous about him! Congratulations! Best twilightguy story EVER!!!!!!!!!! =D
  • The bed was a nice touch. I love these twilight guy reports. My 16 year old son has no interest in reading them and makes fun of his mom and sister for loving them.

  • Amanda
    That's REALLY cute!

    (But he spoiled it for you, Kaleb!)
