Proposal Letters


E. Sean Collier, 24, Atlanta proposing to Ashley P. McCollum, 21, Cincinnati


Dear Ashley,
It was your smile that first captivated me when we met in 2006 at an event for your sorority. We kept in touch and remained friends. Though you brushed off my initial romantic gestures, you finally realized the depth of my feelings for you. Being with you has taught me to be selfless and understanding in both friendship and love. I credit you with strengthening my relationship with God. I will go to the ends of the earth for you, even if it’s to get Bruster’s cheesecake ice cream. As a firefighter, I put my life on the line to help others. Now, if you’ll be my bride, I’ll dedicate my life to being your soul mate. Will you marry me?


Ashley Patrice's Response Letter



Dear Sean,
When I see you, I think of God and how he made a beautiful man with a heart of gold. You are caring, smart, loving and sexy. But what I love most is that you are a man of God. I always knew you were special and I’m elated that I opened my heart to find out just how extraordinary you are. Your surprise proposal was beautiful, especially the moment you asked me to be your wife. I’m in awe and I still can’t believe how you pulled it off. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with my best friend.

Love,
Ashley
