Down on one knee, foiled

So while driving home the other night, I had what I thought was a brilliant idea for a new book - one that I would of course write and from which I would make millions.

Why not write a book - aimed at guys - on how to make the best marriage proposal to the woman you love (though I did figure I could throw in a chapter for the gal looking to surprise her guy - or her gal - with a proposal).

Then I jumped on Amazon.com to see if any other books on this topic existed... much to my chagrin, it's been done already. Boy, I'm always behind the curve.

But in the meantime, I've decided to informally poll my engaged and married friends to see what their personal proposal stories are. Maybe some other brilliant angle to this book idea will come to me. I'd hate to lose out on the millions due to me.
