If you love nothing more than a good proposal story or actively seek 'First Dance' videos on YouTube, then there's a big chance you're a die-hard romantic.

While some may scoff your inability to hold back tears over the internet's latest engagement story, there are hundreds of thousands of people who are right there with you.

And that is why How He Asked exists – an Instagram page devoted to charming stories of the very moment a coupe decide to take the next step in their relationship.

From the uber-creative to the super-romantic, each upload will pull on the heartstrings of any hopeless romantic.

And here are just a few of our favourites…

"When we got to the lookout point, Ryan set down my camera bag and turned to face me. I knew in that moment what was about to happen as he was paying no attention to the stunning view of the bridge. He started to get a little choked up and I was too. We stood there and cried tears of joy as he talked about all of our "firsts" – from the first day we met, to the fist time we took a trip together (it was to San Francisco exactly two years before). He then said he also loved the day we decided to spend forever together and when I asked "when was that", he responded with "today" and then got down on one knee. Right when I said yes, I heard a crowd of people cheering and I thought "Wow! That is such a nice group of strangers!" But as the group of people approached, I started to recognize faces and soon realized my parents were there, along with Ryan's parents, my sister and her husband, and many of our dear friends. 19 of our closest friends and family had flown in from Texas, Oklahoma, and New York to celebrate with us, and it was the best moment of my life." by @whitneyjustesenphoto Tag your 19 favorites that *need* to be at your proposal too

"A few months after meeting Spencer, things took a turn for the worse. My dad had been living with cancer for five years at that point, and in October, the doctors told us there was nothing else they could do. I felt like my life was over – I couldn't even begin to imagine life without him. I told Spencer he didn't have to stick around as we'd only been dating for four months, but he stood by my side and cared for me and my dad through the worst moments of our lives. My dad ended up loving Spencer and I knew he wanted to see him become a part of the family. I also knew he wanted to see us engaged before he passed, but I didn't want to ask anything more of Spencer. When the doctors told us how much time he had, my dad said he wanted to take one last trip together. He picked Disneyland and so of course, when were were there, we went in front of the castle and took tons of family photos. At the end of the pictures, in front of everyone, Spencer grabbed my hands and turned me to face him. I went numb. I knew what was coming, and I could not believe he was making my (and my dad's) dream come true… The next day, we made the long drive home back to Oregon, and that morning, as unexpected as anything, my daddy passed on into heaven…" You actually need to read and watch the whole story (we summarized it, and there's a video).
