Ryan's speech for the proposal was pretty much based on what Chandler said to Monica on Friends. I really liked it, so...hopefully you guys do too. Enjoy.

"So how are you and Ryan?" Julie asks as Marissa turns the key to open the door to the new house.

"Fine." She replies.

"Just 'Fine'?"

"I just can't believe he's at work on our anniversary."

"Honey, I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding. He says it was an important meeting." Julie says trying to defend Ryan.

"Kirsten says he chose to go to the meeting." Marissa says as they walk into the house.

"Well, I'm sure he still has something special planned." Julie says reassuringly as she walks up the stairs to the master bedroom.

"Mom, you haven't seen down here yet." Marissa says, looking at her mom.

"Well, we'll start from top to bottom." Julie says, realizing what she just did.

"Alright? Sure." Marissa says walking up the stairs.

"Okay, they're here. You guys hide in the walk in closet." Ryan says lighting the last candle.

They nod in agreement and said their good lucks. Ryan begins to tidy up his shirt and he feels like he's about to throw up from nervousness as he hears Marissa's voice out in the hall.

"And this is the master bedroom." He hears Marissa's muffled voice.

Marissa opens the door and her stomach drops at the sight. She looks back at her mom; "I'll see you at the Cohen's later." Julie says with a smile before shutting the door.

It was beautiful; the room was lit with about a hundred candles, rose petals all over the bed and on the floor, white curtains draped over the windows, but the one thing that caught her eye first was the man standing by the window, the moonlight shining down around him. She walks over to where Ryan was and smiles.

"Happy anniversary." Ryan says softly with a smile on his face.

"Ryan, this is…this is amazing." She cries, throwing her arms around him.

Ryan gently pulls away, so their staring into each other's eyes as he lets in a deep breath. "Marissa, all my life, I've always thought of myself as a nobody, a screw up. I thought I had pretty much everything I'm ever going to need in life…just me, and no one else. But I've always known that something was missing." He pauses and sees her eyes flicker in the moonlight. "And then, that night, on that driveway when I first met you, almost instantly I knew exactly what it was." Another pause as he sees her smiling, her eyes beginning to tear up. "Today, I was thinking of what to say, how I could even begin to explain how I feel, but when you walked in through that door, I realized that the only thing that mattered is that you make me happier than I ever thought I could be…" Marissa gives Ryan's hand a gentle squeeze and lets out a small laugh between the tears, "And if you let me, I will spend the rest of my life trying to make you feel the same way." Ryan kneels down on one knee and pulls out the little velvet box and opens it.

"Oh my gosh, Ryan…" Marissa gasps, clasping a hand over her mouth.

"Marissa Cooper, I love you more than anything in this world. Will you marry me?" He asks with a small smile on his face.

"Yes…" she says softly, laughing between tears, "Yes, of course!" She pulls him into her embrace and kisses him passionately. They break off and gazed at each other's eyes as Marissa whispers, "I love you, Ryan Atwood, so much."

"Guys! Can we come out now?" They laugh as they hear Summer's muffled voice.

Ryan walks over to the closet and opens the door. Summer gives him a hug and then runs to her best friend.

"Coop, you're engaged!" she shouts, throwing her arms around her.

"Dude, that speech!" Seth says putting a hand on his brother's shoulder, "Where the hell did you get it?"

Ryan laughs and gives him a hug. "Oh, but, there's another surprise." He says walking back to Marissa. "Do you like this house?" he asks her. She looks around smiling and nods her head. "Well, it's ours, babe." Ryan utters.

She wraps her arms around him and kisses him on the lips once again. "You are just full of surprises today, aren't you?" she asks, letting out a small laugh.

Sorry about the short chapters, i actually figured it would be too long, lol. Well i just don't want the story seeming to rushed. But here it is, the proposal. The Wedding's coming up REALLY soon.
