Man Proposes With Happily-Ever-After Love Story

In a twist where fiction turns into reality a book publishing company has helped a man create the ultimate 'happily ever after' wedding proposal for his own true romance.

In this real-life love story, our hero is Jordan Tant, a football coach from the U.K., now coaching in Plainsboro, NJ and wildly in love with Emily our gorgeous heroine—an avid reader of romance novels.

Like most heroes, Jordan wanted to sweep his lovely heroine off her feet with a unique marriage proposal. That’s when he turned to Book By You with a special request: Would the company create a customised novel so personalized that it actually included a proposal to Emily?

Company founder Mike Pocock and his team were happy to help. Jordan gave them all the information needed to personalise the novel Love’s Next Door, including his beloved’s name, hair style, eye colour, and many other physical and personal attributes.

Pocock explained: "In the original novel, our hero gets back in touch with a girl he admired from high school, and by the end of the novel, the now-adult pair have finally admitted their romantic feelings. One morning, the heroine notices a blue ribbon hanging from her boyfriend’s pocket. She pulls on the ribbon and discovers a ring—and the hero explains that it’s a promise ring that he hadn’t had the courage to give her when they were in high school."

In customizing the book for Jordan and Emily, Book By You changed the story to include an inscription on the ring given by Jordan to Emily. The inscription read: "Will you marry me?" Pocock added: "This was the last paragraph of their book so we included a highlighted box beneath the text reading: Emily, we were unable to complete the writing of this special story because, like Jordan, we await the answer to the question: Will you marry Jordan?"

Jordan gave the book to Emily on Christmas morning and confirms the plan succeeded. "She read the book and thought it was so cute and loved the story. She had no idea what was coming and was completely surprised. She said yes right away and we’ve been on top of the world ever since."
