Does anyone know the proposal stories for any of the royal couples? 

When Juan Carlos proposed to Sofia, they were sitting somewhere and JC pulled out the ring and said "Sofi, catch!"
one of my favorite stories (because it's so funny!) is King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia:

Apparently, When Charles proposed to Diana for the first few minutes she thought it was a joke!(But I don't know how true this is)
From what I've read, she just couldn't stop laughing and realized it was true and said 'Yes'.
Joachim proposed this summer when they were on vacation in Turkey.
Joachim asked Marie's grandmother, mother and father for permission to marry her.

I have a feeling that Frederik proposed to Mary in Rome, but I have no idea why I think that or where I read it, so could very easily be wrong.
Also seem to recall them saying that it was 'traditional'.
From what I've read about Nicholas' proposal to Alix, it was more of an ordeal than romantic. Nicholas spent a 2 or 3 days (after many years) in the 1894 wedding of Alix's brother Grand Duke Ernest Louis of Hesse to their first cousin Victoria Melita of Edinburgh, trying to persuade Alix to marry him. There was quite a lot of tears shed while Alix had to choose between faith and love. It wasn't that she did not love or want to marry him. She did not want to give up her Lutheran religion and convert to Russian Orthodoxy. Eventually (with encouragement from her sister Grand Duchess Ella) she agreed and became a fervent convert, for better or for worse.what about The Tsar Nicholas II The Queen the Earl of Wessex and the Duke of York Prince Andrew?
As I recall W-A proposed to Maxima after he took her ice skating. She didn't realize that he had champagne and the ring waiting after the lesson.

This is hilarious!
I am wondering if an average man did that, what the response would be? probably wont be good![]()
Well, I am an average woman and I wouldn't mind being proposed to like that!
