The 24-Hour Proposal

By Michael Bloomberg

Informative, helpful and absolutely necessary when planning your dream marriage proposal, Michael Bloomberg, The Romance CEO and founder of Proposal911.com, created the niche of Marriage Proposal Consulting in 2005. The 24-Hour Proposal was written for the millions of people who scour the internet each month looking for help and ideas in planning their ideal proposal. Whether it’s TLC, The New York Times, Daily Candy or CNN.com, Bloomberg is often seen on tv, heard on the radio and has been quoted in 100’s of interviews on the art and science of “Popping the Question.”

The 24-Hour Proposal was originally written for the guy who, if he literally had twenty-four hours, could pull off his dream proposal. This no fluff, to-the-point book contains so much helpful information that it works perfectly for anyone who has longer than a day to plan. It is equally useful for anyone who has been enlisted to help in planning a brother’s, son’s or a friend’s marriage proposal.

The 24-Hour Proposal is not just a list of generic proposal ideas. It is based on Bloomberg’s concept of proposal•ologyTM, the science of creating your dream marriage proposal. Much like a fingerprint, each proposal is unique. With tons of great information in the book, some of the highlights you will discover are:

• The FIVE most important tips to know before popping the question
• Your MOST unlikely best friend during your proposal
• What NOT to do
• The difference between a “yes” and a “YES!”
• The SINGLE most important element of a proposal you cannot leave out

And much, much more!

So, a big congrats on that piece, too! But, now what? How are you going to ask? You have the ring and it is burning a hole in your pocket. I want to ask now! Don’t I want to make this memorable? You have come to the right place.
