I proposed to my wife on Brighton Beach, and she said yes. That's pretty romantic. Even though I forgot to go down on one knee because I was too busy trying to compose the question.

I actually have blissfully romantic views of marriage, because that has been my experience of it.

I always had boyfriends, but I never imagined a proposal or a wedding. To me, that was like having a ball and chain round your neck.

There's something about marriage that is not as intensely romantic or interesting as a couple's first meeting.

On both 'The Bachelor' and 'The Bachelorette,' it seems like proposing marriage is equivalent to saying, 'Let's date.' Everyone knows those aren't the same things.

When I was younger - it might be a romantic idea - I always thought I might go crazy.

My parents are divorced, and that was the last thing I wanted for myself. I waited until I was 36 to propose, and I'm really proud of that.

For me, getting married doesn't mean we should limit ourselves to some pre-defined idea. Rather, it's an opportunity to explore new things in life.
