If food is the way to a man’s heart, then music, a great voice and a million dollar smile is surely the way to a woman’s heart (wink)! One of our pre-Valentine’s surprise marriage proposals with KTLA 5 during Love & Romance Week took place aboard The Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA. This engagement gets a perfect score of 10 in the romance department. The charming Steve Ledesma from Burbank decided to sing his proposal to his gorgeous girlfriend Jennifer Rodriguez, who flew into town last night from Texas just to be with her main man! The two have maintained a long distance relationship and little did she know that today’s surprise would change her life forever.

What stands out to me the most is when he said, “I love you in this lifetime, I’ve loved you in lifetimes before, and I’ll love you in the next.” WOW. See what I mean?!…Romance at its finest! Take a look at this heartfelt moment.

After gazing at the vintage engagement ring he presented her with, she said YES! So happy for Jennifer and Steve & all of our wonderful couples across the states of California, Texas and Washington who we helped take #OffTheMarket during the season of Love.

Robbins Brothers’ Love & Romance Week has come to an end, but not without a final groom to propose! Our favorite reporter Gayle Anderson of the KTLA Morning News and the Robbins Brothers Love Team took over Mimi’s Cafe in Anaheim, CA to help Hismael profess his love for his girlfriend of 10 years, Gabriela.

Watch as Hismael, whom Gayle fondly nicknamed Mr. Tenderness, shows us how to seal the deal with a gorgeous Verragio diamond engagement ring with rose gold accents.

Robbins Brothers would like to thank Hismael, Gabriela, and all of our newly engaged couples for sharing their love with the world. We’ll see you next year when we help take Valentine’s 2016 #OffTheMarket!

This weekend, as I watched March Madness highlights on ESPN, I saw something about Tony Romo scroll across the bottom of the screen. Was he traded? Then I saw “$100 million over the next six years” followed by news that the Dallas Cowboys extended his contract. He’s staying in Dallas! What a relief for my friends and co-workers who live and breathe Cowboys’ football.

Tony was one of America’s most eligible bachelors back in December 2007 when he visited Robbins Brothers in Dallas for our grand opening. Tracey and I had planned for a decent turnout, but we were admittedly shocked to see a few hundred fans – including many single women – lined up outside around the store waiting for his limo to arrive.

Sure, this star athlete is good looking. But what we loved most about Tony that evening was his genuine excitement and willingness to help us with a surprise marriage proposal. Here was this big-shot pro football player in our store who could have easily said he only had time to sign a few autographs and then head out the door for his next appearance. But he wanted to make this proposal extra special for Robbins Brothers customer Jason Garvey, a Dallas firefighter and actual cowboy.  

The news cameras were rolling, many broadcasting live for the 6 pm news. Tony welcomed the crowd and then asked for a volunteer so he could test out asking a woman to marry him. The ladies went crazy and sighed when Tony called on a lovely brunette who was shocked as she walked towards him. But the real surprise came when her boyfriend Jason popped up in the back, told Tony to scoot, then dropped to bended knee and proposed with a gorgeous diamond engagement ring.

Tony stayed at the store and chatted with every customer and employee and spent over an hour taking photos with anyone who asked. He even signed footballs and jerseys for the kids. Just a few of the many reasons why we love Tony Romo.

Congratulations to our favorite Dallas Cowboy. This incredible contract really couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.

The Los Angeles Times opened an article in the Sunday paper with “There’s no avoiding the Robbins Brothers commercials and mistletoe. ‘Tis the season for romance.”

We admit it. We’re obsessed with love 365 days a year, but there is something magical about the holidays. There are endless opportunities for a surprise proposal, be it at a New Year’s Eve party, Disneyland, a college bowl game, or in the stands at the Tournament of Roses Parade.

We can’t give any surprises away as to what proposals our customers have planned over the next week, but in the spirit of the season of romance, here are a few of our favorite marriage proposals from the past:

Fiesta Bowl Surprise Marriage Proposal

Disneyland New Year’s Eve Marriage Proposal

And although not a New Year’s Eve proposal, it is the most creative Flash Mob proposal set to Bruno Mars “Think I Wanna Marry You”

Be sure to tune in to the Rose Parade on January 1, 2013 to watch a lucky couple from Virginia have their actual wedding on the Farmers Insurance Love Float!
