TwilightGuys Report: He Proposed With Bella’s Engagement Ring


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.”

  1. 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

  2. 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…

  3. ome.!!
    that was the sweetest most romantic
    thing i’ve ever read…(in reality) lol.

    that’s so beautiful.
    *tear*

    lol.

    i want one of those…
    edward cullen…
    where are you.?!

  4. Absolutely breathtaking. You have probably made her the happiest girl with one of the best proposal stories ever. I’m jealous.

  5. Major AWW moment.
    By far the most romantic Twilight guy report I’ve read. (no offense)
    He is one smart and clever guy.
    😛

  6. 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.

  7. 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!

  8. Cue the screaming/ squealing girls that will now remember this and come to expect this sort of treatment.

  9. That was the most cute, sweet, beautiful, adorable story ever!
    Haha, I can imagine screaming Oh My Cullen 🙂
    Props to Lachlan.

  10. That.
    Is.
    So.

    And as if that is cheesy! It’s only cheesy to us twi-hards.
    But wow.
    You’ve set the benchmark here, you really have 😛

  11. That is honestly the most amazing thing ever. I think that beat out the boyfriend who poured glitter on himself and climbed through his girlfriend’s window. I seriously have tears in my eyes.

    I hate these girls with their awesome Edward boyfriends lol.

  12. Awwwww, that’s so sweet.
    Even reading it made me cry.

  14. AWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! Thaat si so romantic and sweet! Props for reading Eclipse first and still loving the book, despite being ,probably, hopelessly lost. I’m surprised how much detail he went into without her noticing. (cough-bed with rose panels-cough) 😛
    Loved the classic comments of Oh my cullen to accept, lol 😀

  16. omg! omg! that is the best story yet! fantastic!! now thats a real live edward! i also want one of those! well im glad to know, there are good guys out there still!

  17. I was brought to tears as well. How wonderful that he felt so strongly they should be together that he would propose like that. I wish them a long and happy life together. Kaleb, I hope you sent him a good T. He deserves it.

  18. That was so sweet! Where’s mine? 😀 I mean, the best part was when he proposed in the exact same words as Edward 😉 Loovee it.

  19. Wow. Talk about dedication to the series.

    I don’t know if I could handle that kind of proposal. Really sweet though. Its great that you love her so much!

  20. That is the most ROMANTIC story I’ve ever heard. Congratulations and good luck being her real life Edward (it’s a lot to live up to, but I think you can pull it off)!

    best boyfriend EVER!!!!!!!!!!
    lol

    congrats on your engagement btw ;p
    <3

    luv aliceee

  23. 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!!!

  24. 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!

  25. 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 😉

  26. 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!

  27. 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

  28. 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!

  29. 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!

  30. 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
