Brides.Com Top Ten Celebrity Proposals

1. Jacqueline Bouvier and John F. Kennedy: After meeting at a Georgetown
      dinner party in May 1951, John F. Kennedy proposed in the spring of
      1953 right before Jackie was sent on assignment in Europe with the
      Washington Times-Herald. She smiled and said she would give an answer
      soon. While away, she received a note from the future President
      saying "articles excellent but you are missed." Upon returning home,
      she was greeted with a diamond-and-emerald engagement ring.

   2. June Carter and Johnny Cash: Love bloomed where they both felt most
      at home. In 1968, Johnny proposed onstage during a concert, leaving
      many in the audience wondering if it was simply part of their
      notorious repartee. Garth Brooks copied the Man in Black when
      proposing onstage to fellow musician Trisha Yearwood in 2005.

   3. Grace Kelly and Prince Rainer: In late 1955, the Prince proposed
      through his friend Father Tucker, who came to America to ask Grace
      for her hand in marriage on behalf of the Prince -- a royal custom by
      which a Prince doesn't arrange his own marriage. The Prince later
      presented her with a 12-carat emerald-cut diamond engagement ring.

   4. Seal and Heidi Klum: The singer proposed to his model-girlfriend two
      days before Christmas, 14,000 feet above sea-level in British
      Columbia, on a glacier, in an igloo built especially for his
      proposal.

   5. Lady Diana Spencer and Prince Charles: Though he proposed three weeks
      earlier at a private, candlelit dinner at Buckingham Palace before
      she left on a trip to Austria, the official announcement came on
      February 24, 1981. He intended to have her use the trip to think
      about the proposal, but she accepted immediately. He presented
      her -- and they presented the press -- with an 18-carat sapphire
      engagement ring surrounded by diamonds.

   6. Nick Cannon and Selita Ebanks: After leaving the Metropolitan Museum
      of Art Costume Gala, he took her to Times Square in a chauffeured
      Rolls Royce where he presented her with a 12-carat diamond ring and
      pointed to the MTV jumbotron where the words, "Selita will you marry
      me?" were projected.

   7. Courtney Cox and David Arquette: Never to let anyone outshine him,
      David proposed on a beach in Florida and arranged to have a fireworks
      display go off the precise moment that he planned to pop the
      question.

   8. Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman: The music executive groom
      proposed to his songbird bride in a room filled with flowers,
      balloons and a stack of gift boxes, each of which contained a
      different gift and poem; the last box had the ring.

   9. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes: In a press conference following his
      proposal, Tom gave the details of his early-morning Eiffel Tower
      offer of marriage to the Dawson's Creek starlet. Before their
      midnight trip to the French landmark, the two shared a candlelit
      dinner at Le Jules Verne restaurant.

  10. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe: The young couple was reportedly
      engaged on vacation in South Carolina when he proposed to her in late
      1998 over a breakfast in bed of strawberries and cream.
