Thomson collected stories of engagements and proposals. Included are stories of a man proposing in the mountains by a pond, a man who made a resume for his future wife and her father, and a man who gave the ring box to a mall Santa Clause and made his girlfriend sit on his lap and say she'd been a good girl all year. The project was written for Dr. Rudy's English 392 class taught at Brigham Young University in 1997.
