Send out the invitations and prepare to release the white doves. Prince William and longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton are finally engaged. What took him so long you ask? Turns our the heir to the throne had great difficulty in coming up with the right proposal. Check out this list of rejects:

• What say you and I give Merry Old England a party they won't soon forget?
• Please make me the happiest prince in the land?
• When you decide you want to spend the rest of your life in the spotlight with someone, you want the rest of your life in that spotlight to start right now.
• I may not know much about life, but I know what love is. This is love isn't it?
• Will you be more than just a nanny or housekeeper to me?
• So you know all those photographers following us everywhere? How'd you like to have that everyday from now on?
• Will you be my queen, in the non-homosexual sense of the word?
• If I could spend my life with just one commoner, I want that commoner to be you.
• Ehm, look. Sorry, sorry. I just, ehm, well, this is a very stupid question and... , particularly in view of our recent shopping excursion, but I just wondered, by any chance, ehm, eh, I mean obviously not because I guess I've only slept with 9 people, but-but I-I just wondered... ehh. I really feel, ehh, in short, to recap it slightly in a clearer version, eh, the words of David Cassidy in fact, eh, while he was still with the Partridge family, eh, "I think I love you," and eh, I-I just wondered by any chance you wouldn't like to... Eh... Eh... No, no, no of course not... I'm an idiot, he's not... Excellent, excellent, fantastic, eh, I was gonna say lovely to see you, sorry to disturb... Better get on...
