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."

  • pancake726

  • heilah
    OMG!!
    I want u to be so happy!! So sweet!!
  • Twilight14
    That is the most romantic thing iv ever heard and iv reda alll the books 5 times i love it that much.

    As i was reading this story it got better and better i told my mum and sister about it and they said " that is soooooooooooooooooooo romantic. how sweet."

    I want my boyfriend to that for me someday when im 18 or something.

    I hopw things work out for you and Marianne.
  • persis
    What website was that??? That you bought Bella's Engagement Ring on could you please comment me back through my email
  • karlie
    SO SWEET!!! THAT IS AWESOME!!!
  • arianna.
    that was very sweet of you,hope the best for both. =]

    but you should have made your own words,but twilight has brought you together,so thats really awesome,its inspirational.
  • Lisa
    Hmm... so much for originality... Yeah, it's sweet and all, but as a woman, I would rather have my guy propose in his own way, rather than take the words and actions from a novel, no matter how much I like that novel. By the way, I am married, and my husband proposed in a very simple and wonderful way - and best of all, he used his OWN ideas and words.
  • aww that is so sweeeeeet. <3
    i want a Twi-Guy
    do you know any 13 year-old Twi-Guys?
    Edward........<3
    still so sweet i'd love you too for that <3 LOL
  • sophie
    pardon!? does anyone else find this highly disturbing? She what, memorised the wedding lines?

    Also, i wonder: when she said oh my cullen, was she calling you her cullen (in which case i think you should be quite offended), or was she using it as a substitute for oh my god (in which case you should be worried about her mental health)
  • Amber
    Holy Shit... You're a keeper.
  • Halfmetal
    Lame....
  • TWILIGHT SUCKS
    Lolz wtf is wrong with this guy? Epic fail.
  • Stephanie
    Since your girl was a Twilight fan, you're excused and it was sweet. If my bf did that I would look at him with chagrin (TM Meyer).

    And "oh my Cullen" is just lame.
  • Estelle
    If my boyfriend proposed to me with Bella's engagement ring, I'd dump him. :I
  • Sarah
    Ugh, how perfectly lame. If people still insist on getting married, why don't we get a little more creative with proposals, eh? Especially when copying out of a book as God-awful as Eclipse.
  • Jordan
    That's so cute! Oh my goodness! I can barely stand it! I've got laryngitis or else there would be some major squealing. XD Way to go, man!
  • saelynne
    oh my Cullen! yes i know the feeling..my best friend of 6 years gave me the ring too..bless him
  • Kristen
    This man is my hero. lol.
    Seriously though, Eclipse is my favorite book from the saga, and I always say that I think everyman should propose the way that Edward does. AAAAAWWWWW!
    So cute!
  • Twilight-Yannah
    WOW... Im sspeechless!!!!! I used to get sad because i thought no guy (in the real world) could ever live up to Edward...But WOW. you rock, that really touched my heart and Im a true Twilight feind lol!! Who are you and why cant you marry me?? Just kidding!! Best wishes to you and your fiancee!!!
  • Danielle:D
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH THATS SO SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT MY BOYFRIEND TOO QUOTE TWILIGHT (even though he already says the most sweet things that sound very edward culleny, for example he said " i wish i was with you right now so i could hold you and gaze into your eyes until the morning" wonderful huh? oh yea and were only 13) :D
  • Linda
    that was so sweet of you.
    i never expected twilight would have such a huge impact on people's lifes. people make life out of twilight. for me on the other hand, twilight sends out the story of my life. it's almost deja vu(minus the mythical creatures of course)
  • Jen
    It is amazing what you can do if you just pay attention and listen to your partner. Kudos to you!
  • Insane Jasper Fan, AKA Erika
    Wow. Seriously, the world needs more guys like you. That has got to be one of the sweetest proposals EVER. Or I think so, at least. :)

    Good luck to the both of you!

    --Erika--
  • Kyra
    OHHHHH!!!!!!
    I want that. :(
    hahahaha
    The Twilight series really does teach boys how to be better boyfriends ;)
    what an awesome proposal idea, she's a lucky girl.
    I got goosebumps when I read his proposal line! Adorable!
    I love these stories on here!
  • Alice
    OMC so sweet! im rly glad u decided to share that w/ us =D
  • Marley from Ontario
    oh my goodness, i love this so much!
    im accually crying right now to how adorably sweet this story is!
    this is what all men should do for the women they love : find what they love and relate it to their relationship.
    This is the most romantic thing ive ever heard!!
    She is SOO lucky to have you, and to have met you!!
    I hope all is well!! <3
  • Megan
    this guy is amazing. He took the time to try to understand what it was that captivated her, not even realizing he would get hooked, and then he did something beautiful and romantic that would mean something special to them, took what some of you are calling an unoriginal idea and made it a memory for the rest of their lives. Whats not to admire about that.
  • Kyria
    oh my, that is sooo sweet.
    i've read the twilight books like 838694338 times. there amazing. and if my boyfriend ever did that to me i'd probably pass out. no joke. lol.
    (: but nice job. and i hope everything works out with you all. (:
  • Allison
    I think this is the most adorable thing in the entire world.

    I just told my boyfriend this and all he said was it was "unoriginal."

    ...Lovely.
  • kambria
    ome, that is sooooo amazing. U R sooo romantic. that is soooooo cool. and amazing.
  • Steph From England
    Could i just replicate you?
    Would you mind?

    This actually made me cry which even i think is pretty sad... I just love how you actually did something so perfect without her having to ask you first. Not to mention insanely jealous as men around here really aren't into anything jaw-droppingly sweet.

    She's lucky to have you.

    p.s. useless fact: This article was posted on my birthday.
  • bella and edward 4ever

  • Heathcliff
    amazing story...
    not original maybe but
    well done dude!
    congratulation and
    best of luck with your fiancee
  • E
    "Sane" Girl, that was rather... well, rude. He knows she really likes the books and Edward, so he did that for her, and she clearly appreciated it. What's wrong with that?
  • Sane Girl
    Um... I actually would be kind of disappointed. My fiancee and I will not be Bella and Edward, and I'm glad. A guy and girl being that obsessed and over-the-top with each other is weird. It's a cute book to read, but seriously. No thanks. Love is not saying things like "Sleep, my only love," and just watching your girlfriend sleep for hours on end every night.

    And she responded with "oh my Cullen?" To getting engaged? I would be downright embarrassed to tell my future children and grandchildren that.
  • E
    That is possibly the sweetest thing I've ever heard that is not fictional. The only real thing that could possibly beat it was... well, long story.
    OME
    All I could think after reading this was OME OME OME OME Awwwwww repeatedly, always in that order. ;)
  • Beata
    There are no limits to which love will stretch to please a loved one. Good for you Lachlan. She will remember it forever. It doesn't matter what people think- it only matters to the two of you. A little fantasy and Romance never hurt anyone. The world is starving for it. Women have always known this- more men may finally get the idea. My generation fell in love with Gary Oldman as Dracula, and my husband of 30 years wore black pajamas in tribute to please me. The man who does not care about what others will think about his efforts to please his beloved is well ahead of the pack. Good for Edward too. Twilight Granny
  • Alice
    OMEC!!! That is the sweetest thing I have ever heard! I want a guy like you, because if someone proposed to me with Bella's ring I would have melted. She is the luckiest girl in the world except Bella! Grrrrrrr JEALOUSY!!
  • Marieke
    What next, though? Now it's just proposing. Next it'll be guys thinking stalking is romantic (it's not, idiots). Seriously -.-
  • Guest
    Good God. If the guy can't think of an original way to propose, don't go using a part from a book intended for freakin' teenagers. Just... don't.
  • MoarvampthenEddie
    Twilight sucks. You sound like a sweet guy. But seriously, don't encourage her. Eventually she'll figure out that you aren't enough like Edward and leave you.
    Twilight has ruined tons of women, and it't not even that good of a book to boot.

    *sigh* teeny bopper fantards make me sick.
  • Amanda
    I love the series and everything, but going to such great lengths to recreate Edward proposing to bella is a little creepy.
  • Bloofer Lady
    Augh. Do you see that? That was my faith in the future of humanity. If just jumped out the window and killed itself.
  • Julia
    OME!!! That is SOOO sweet of you!! Do you have a twin somewhere? :)
  • Lee O.
    Nice one, dude.
    My girlfriend is also in love with the twilight series, so, i understand the curiosity, after someone talks about it all day... I also read it and actually liked it. But we're too young to get married...
  • Vanessa
    Thats kind of pathetic. I would want my boyfriend to do something original, and not completely cheesy when he proposes to me.

    Just the fact that she replied with 'Oh my Cullen' makes me sad. Who actually says that?
  • aww!
    awww! that is sooo sweet!
  • S
    unoriginal, much?
  • Aww! That's so nice! I think it's super sweet!!!
  • Marieke
    If someone ever tries that one me, I'd slap them. They need more than quoting a stupid book to win over my heart =.=
  • Abbacus
    Are you kidding me?
    If my boyfriend wasn't original enough to think of something on his own, I'd reject him, and tell him to try again.
    That's not sweet, that's just disgustingly depressing.
  • AW! This is the sweetest thing I've ever heard about! *is speechless*
  • I actually find this kinda depressing. A guy decides that a proposal has to relate to a book, and a terrible book at that. Do something original, dangnabbit. Geez, I'm glad I don't exert any influence like that on my boyfriend.
  • liz
    :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

    That is officially the cheezy-est thing ever. SOOO SWEET! I got all teary and everything.
    *sniff*
    THE only thing I could think of for a really really long time was 'AWWW. So cute, so sweet. *giggle*' and repeat.
    But seriously, that has to be the cutest thing I've ever heard. Or read.
    We NEED more people like you here.
    And, congrats, good luck... Are you having the honeymoon in Brazil?? Send in pictures - we love them here.
    Vera.

    Hope they get the happy ending they deserve... that was sooooo cute....
  • OH. MY. GOD. I am almost crying, and I'm at Uni!! God I would have fainted so badly. Marianne is so lucky to have you - I mean, you reading Eclipse, and loving her like that, and proposing to her the same way Edward did... OMG. *faintes* I wish there were more men out there like you! Hands down, perfect.

    God I still cannot believe it! I got all teary. One of the best Twilight Guy stories. And I hope you two live happily forever. :) Good luck guys.
  • zee
    wow, that is just SO SWEEEEET
  • How sweet. Now I just wish he go and read 'Twilight' and 'Eclipse'.
    And I hope Marianne and him have a great future ahead of them both!
  • Jennifer
    Are you f-ing kidding me?
  • Amanda
    That's REALLY cute!

    (But he spoiled it for you, Kaleb!)
  • Wow. That's...intense. I've read the book 6 times and didn't recognize the line lol I'd be lost until I saw the ring then reply "Hey, I've seen that ring somewhere..." lol Best wishes- you're considerate as hell- that's a great start together :)
  • Meghan
    OMFE i want a bf like you. that is the most vamptasic twilightguy report ever!
    yr girlfriendis so freaking lucky! :] btw, congrats on the engagment
  • 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.
  • 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
  • Malerie
    wow. that's so sweet. :') it really made me want to cry! best twilightguy report

    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.
  • That is sad and pathetic, I hope you two don't breed.
  • Laura
    That is amazing! If I ever get proposed t, my boyfriend had better do it like that, too!
  • 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.
  • Hunter
    DUUUUUUUDE
    WHAT A FRICKIN BEAST
  • Maddy
    this is my favorite twilightguy story.
    officially.

    so cute! wow.... :)
  • 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!
  • That is so...CUTE! Oh man, you rock dude, wherever you are, you ROCK!
  • Samantha-Noel
    AWWWWW! thats awsome! that is the sweetest thing I've ever heard. Can I have one? haha
  • 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!
  • Mmary
    when that ring came out i wondered how many people were going to propose with it. that's great.
  • Icy Topaz
    Holy crap! My brother's name is Lachlan! How funny!

    And that guy has DEFINITELY got it going on. He's awesome. I am so jealous of that young woman! LOL

    No, not really. I'll just find the REAL Edward someday. ^_^

    Awesome man!
    lol. snow white. me and my friend were talking about it during class and one of our guy friends come up and asks us if we were talking about the one with the apple. and we were like YEAH~!

    anywhos, good for you man! that was a really good idea! it was so sweet!
  • Genevieve
    AWWW!!!! I was smiling so huge! I gonna like, cry now.

    Soooo cute :D
  • 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...
  • Courtney
    Cheesey much? lol
    its still super sweet though.
