Being honest is the best gift on Valentine's Day, but we all need some help in expressing our feelings. Learn from those who said it best in these movies.

The most important thing when proposing marriage is to be sincere and show your true feelings and intentions. If you want to add some sparkle to your Valentine proposal speech, quote these romantic marriage proposals.

Valentine Proposal Speech From When Harry Met Sally

Harry Burns in When Harry Met Sally puts it in adorably simple yet very touching words you could use in your Valentine proposal speech. “I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”

Valentine's Day Proposal Eternal as the Story in The Notebook

The Notebook gives love a divine description. Let your Valentine's Day proposal shine with this message. "Poets often describe love as an emotion that we can't control, one that overwhelms logic and common sense. That's what it's like for me. I didn't plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt that you planned on falling in love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has happened only once, and that's why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I'll never forget a single moment of it." These words are certainly Valentine worthy, and Hallmark level in quality.

Valentine Declaration of Love From Chasing Amy

A deep and very personal Valentine declaration of love could be illustrated with this quote from Chasing Amy. Holden says, "I love you. Very simple, very truly. You're the epitome of every attribute and quality I've ever looked for in another person ... I can't stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I can't look into your eyes without feeling that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I can't talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are... I've never felt this before, and I like who I am because of it. There isn't another soul on this planet who's ever made me half the person I am when I'm with you. I'm forever changed because of who you are and what you've meant to me."
