Proposals!

Was recently chatting about amazing proposals in movies we love. And it was sad that I could not find the words. But here is the homework!

Dil Chahta Hai:
---------------------------------------
**Shalini's wedding to Rohit**
Akash: Hi Shalini
Shalini: Hi
Akash: Mujhse Shaadi Karogi?
Akash: Agar main kahoon ki main tumse pyar karta hoon tab bhi nahin?
**Rohit walks over - The coolest stare, and he stops**
Akash:
Shalini, main tumse aur sirf tumse pyar karta hoon. Meri har saans, meri har dhadkan, mere har pal main tum ho aur bas tum ho shalini, Mujhe yakin hai ki main sirf isliye janma hoon ki tumse pyar kar sakoon, aur tum sirf isliye ki ek din meri ban jao.
Tum meri ho shalini, agar tum apne dil se pooch logi to jaan logi, ki main sach keh raha hoon

Runaway Bride:
-------------------------------------
She returns to the balcony and hands him the box.
IKE (cont'd) What's this?
MAGGIE These are for you.
He opens it. It's her running shoes.
IKE Used?
MAGGIE They're mine. I'm turning in my running shoes to you.
IKE This is getting serious.
Now she is glowing at him, shining with the full force of her.
MAGGIE And one more thing. I know it's hard to believe there could be more. Um...
Maggie glances around and spots a DECK CHAIR, which she turns so it is facing the city lights. Then she softly says:
MAGGIE (cont'd) If you could have a seat, please.
Ike sits. Maggie takes the box from him and puts it aide. And then she gets down on one knee.
IKE (laughing) Oh my God. No.
Maggie smiles up at him. Ike tips his head back and covers his eyes with his hand.
MAGGIE No, no -- don't hide your face, this only happens once in a lifetime. It's definitely a first to me, and you're not going to want to miss it.
He smiles as he looks at Maggie.
MAGGIE (cont'd) I love you, Homer Eisenhower Graham. Will you marry me?
Ike swallows, overwhelmed, overjoyed, and scared shitless.
IKE Maggie, I gotta think about this a little bit.
Maggie hops cheerfully back to her feet.
MAGGIE (cheerful) Good.
She gets off her knees and stands.
MAGGIE (cont'd) I was hoping you'd say that.
IKE (laughing) You were not.
MAGGIE I was, because if you said "yes" right away, I wouldn't get to say this next part. And I've been practicing it. (pulling up a chair and sitting) Ready?
IKE I'm listening.
MAGGIE (tenderly) "I guarantee that we'll have tough times. I guarantee that at some point one or both oof us will want to get out. But I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. Because I know in my heart -- you're the only one for me".

Nice post. But this post is a sudden turn from the previous set of posts.

Anyway, I like this one also. Verbose but good.
============

Holden to Alyssa:

I love you. And not in a friendly
way, although I think we're great
friends. And not in a misplaced
affection, puppy-dog way, although I'm
sure that's what you'll call it. And
it's not because you're unattainable.
I love you. Very simple, very truly.
You're the epitome of every attribute
and quality I've ever looked for in
another person. I know you think of
me as just a friend and crossing that
line is the furthest thing from an
option you'd ever consider. But I
can't do this any longer. I can't
stand next to you without wanting to
hold you. I can't look into your eyes
without feeling that longing you only
read about in trashy romance novels.
I can't talk to you without wanting to
express my love for everything you
are. I know this will probably queer
our friendship - no pun intended - but
I had to say it, because I've never
felt this before, and I like who I am
because of it. And if bringing it to
light means we can't hang out anymore,
then that hurts me. But I couldn't
allow another day to go by without
getting it out there, regardless of
the outcome, which by the look on your
face is to be the inevitable shoot-
down. And I'll accept that But I know
some part of you is hesitating for a
moment, and if there is a moment of
hesitation, that means you feel
something too. All I ask is that you
not suppress that - at least for ten
minutes - and try to dwell in it
before you dismiss it.
There isn't another soul on this
fucking planet who's ever made me the
person I am when I'm with you, and I
would risk this friendship for the
chance to take it to the next plateau.
Because it's there between you and me.
You can't deny that. And even if we
never speak again after tonight,
please know that I'm forever changed
because of you and what you've meant
to me, which - while I do appreciate
it - I'd never need a painting of
birds bought at a diner to remind me
of.
