Emerson Robbins has been in the engagement ring business for a lot of years, and has been fortunate enough to have heard a lot of beautiful, unique and romantic proposal stories. So many, in fact, that he wrote a book: Popping the Question, Seattle Style.

From a ring-bearing oyster at a waterfront restaurant to an enterprising guy who slipped his filmed proposal into the movie Singles, 99 real-life Northwest couples share inspirational stories that will help you get creative when it comes time to pop the question—in Seattle, or anywhere.

Popping the Question, Seattle Style is available in the greater Seattle area at Barnes and Noble, Borders, Walden Books, Elliotts, Third Place Books, Made in Washington stores, Fireworks and many other stores, of course at E.E. Robbins.
